You’re not a hostage, you’re a free person
You’ve got guts
You’ve got integrity
You’ve got spirit
You don’t fit into a standard because you refuse to be put into a box
You know yourself
You know what you want
And You know how to get it

You expect the truth and you will tolerate nothing less
You want clarity
You want freedom
You want inspiration
But you have it. It’s you.
You’ve survived
You’ve prevailed
You’ve made it here
So take the next step

What is stopping you?
Nothing.
Who is stopping you?
No one.
No one but yourself.
So get out of your box
Get rid of your security blankets
Don’t be your own prisoner
Go out there and do it
Get out there and be you
You can’t let anybody hold you down because nobody can tell you No.

It’s your turn
It’s your time
So don’t wait
Don’t hesitate
Get going
Be free.
