Power of the Mind

Do you know Harry Houdini?

Harry Houdini, the famed escape artist issued a challenge wherever he went. 
He could be locked in any jail cell in the country, he claimed, and set himself free quickly and easily.

Always he kept his promise, but one time something went wrong.

Houdini entered the jail in his street clothes; the heavy, metal doors clanged shut behind him. He took from his belt a concealed piece of metal, strong and flexible. He set to work immediately, but something seemed to be unusual about this lock. For 30 minutes he worked and got nowhere.
An hour passed, and still he had not opened the door. By now he was bathed in sweat and panting in exasperation, but he still could not pick the lock. Finally, after laboring for 2 hours, Harry Houdini collapsed in frustration and failure against the door he could not unlock.

But when he fell against the door, it swung open! It had never been locked at all! But in his mind it was locked and that was all it took to keep him from opening the door and walking out of the jail cell.

That's how powerful your God-given mind is.

SCAPEGOATING

We all live in glass houses,

And should never attempt to throw a stone;

No point blaming others,

The fault is always your own.

The easiest way to deal with failure or try and gain success is scapegoating. Our success is our own and the failure is owing to someone else. But blaming others for our problems and misgivings is unjust, cruel and unfair to others and to ourselves.

You see it all around you. Parents who blame the children for failed marriages, children who blame parents for their problems and failures. Then you also find bosses who blame their subordinates and subordinates who denunciate their superiors.

The biggest damage scapegoating does is to our soul and to our life, not to others. Do not look for a scapegoat to blame all your problems and failures on. Instead look inward, find out what is the cause of the problem, acknowledge your failures, seek help and ask for forgiveness.
