A Simple Tip

If you run into something or someone you feel you can’t handle, that upsets you or puts you down, try this simple tip:

“Now how would you get out of a prison if you were in one? I’m afraid you’d just do it by confronting. Everybody to some slight degree is a prisoner. He is a prisoner only to that degree that he is unwilling to confront an area. An actual physical area. Or an actual area of truth. He’s a prisoner.

“Man is having trouble with finance? Obviously, is unwilling to confront money. If a man is having trouble with marriage, there’s some part of marriage that he can’t confront. And where he can’t confront things, then he mocks up and creates some artificial structure which has no basis in truth at all and confronts that instead.

“You want to set men free or if you want men to be free or you yourself want to be freer than you are, all you have to do is find out what you’re willing to confront and what you’re unwilling to confront.”

— L. Ron Hubbard
