Let Freedom Ring! Stop Holding Yourself Prisoner

One day a man was walking down the street on his way to work. As he walked down the street, there were dogs on just about every front porch and they would bark as the man walked by.

However, there was one dog just sitting there whimpering, whining and moaning.

The man wondered why this dog wasn't barking like the other dogs and why he was whimpering. He couldn't figure it out, so he just kept walking to work.

The next day he was walking down the street and heard all the other dogs barking EXCEPT the same dog who was moaning and groaning just as he had been doing the day before.

The man walked past for an entire week and every day the dog would be there moaning and groaning. Finally, he went over to the owner who was sitting on the porch and asked,

“Sir, is there something wrong with your dog? He's been sitting here moaning and groaning, whimpering and whining for an entire week."

The owner said, "Well, he's actually sitting on a nail."

"What!" exclaimed the man. "Why doesn't he get off?"

"Well, it just doesn't hurt him bad enough" replied the owner.

This dog is like most people who feel pained by their current situation ... a job they hate, an unhealthy body they want to get in shape, a city they no longer want to live in ... Yet, as months turn into years they remain in a situation, moaning and groaning, whimpering and whining.

Perhaps they are not hurting bad enough to get up and do something about it. So they remain in a prison of their own making.
