Houdini was the greatest magician of his time. He was a fantastic robber locks. Claimed he could escape from any cell in the world in less than an hour.
In a small town in Britain was built a new jail and Houdini was challenged to try to escape. Since he liked challenges and money, he accepted the proposal.
When the big day arrived, a lot of people and media representatives were there. Houdini stepped confident in the cell and the door was closed. He immediately took off his coat and started to work. He hided inside of his belt a piece of steel strap flexible and tough, 25-inches long, which then he used it to try to open the lock.

After 30 minutes his trust was gone. After an hour he was bathed in sweat. After 2 hours Houdini simply collapsed over the door which opened immediately. In fact the door was never closed, except in the imagination of the great magician.
The door was closed only in the mind of Houdini, but he acted as if he had to beat a thousand locks. Exactly like Houdini, we are prisoners of our own minds. To escape the "mental prison", we must first realize and accept this and then find ways to free ourselves.
