LIFE STORIES: HE WORKED 80 HOURS A WEEK AND STAYED BROKE, THEN A STRANGER REVEALED THE INVISIBLE CAGE TRAPPING HIM
This profound story reveals why some people work relentlessly yet never achieve financial freedom—while others seem to effortlessly attract abundance. The answer isn't about working harder. It's about the invisible cage built in childhood.
Daniel Chen worked 80 hours a week across two jobs. He saved every penny, sacrificed everything. Yet money constantly slipped away. Not because he lacked discipline or intelligence—but because his subconscious was programmed to reject wealth from the age of ten.
When a mysterious teacher named Tanaka asked one penetrating question: "When you think of money, where do you feel it in your body?"—Daniel began a journey that would change everything. This question exposed the somatic patterns, the cellular memories, and the childhood programming that had been sabotaging him for three decades.
In this story, you'll discover four transformative keys:
🔑 Key One: How to identify the invisible cage—the limiting beliefs about money inherited from your parents and embedded in your nervous system
🔑 Key Two: The "Money Personification" practice—a powerful psychological exercise that reveals your true relationship with wealth
🔑 Key Three: Why giving activates abundance—understanding the energetic frequency of prosperity and how to embody it, even with limited resources
🔑 Key Four: How gratitude rewrites your subconscious—the neuroscience behind shifting from scarcity to abundance consciousness
Daniel's transformation from debt-ridden delivery driver to creative studio owner didn't come from positive thinking or manifestation techniques. It came from deep inner work—excavating the childhood trauma around money, healing his relationship with wealth, and discovering that the treasure was always there. He just couldn't see it until his consciousness shifted.
The $200,000 vintage guitar hidden in his grandfather's dusty box is a metaphor we all need to understand: abundance surrounds us, but we can only perceive what our internal state allows us to see.
This story speaks to you if:
✓ You've achieved external success but still feel financial anxiety
✓ You recognize patterns of self-sabotage around money
✓ You understand intellectually that "money is energy" but can't embody it
✓ You're ready to do the shadow work around wealth and worthiness
✓ You want to break generational poverty consciousness
A question for reflection: What's one belief about money that you absorbed in childhood that still influences you today? Share in the comments—let's bring these unconscious patterns into the light together.

00:00A man spent 30 years building a prison.
00:04Then he locked himself inside.
00:07And you, you might be trapped in the same cage.
00:11Before we begin, let us know where you're watching from in the comments.
00:16And at the end, don't forget to rate this story from 0 to 10.
00:21I'm Eros from The Inner Parables.
00:24This is the story of how one man broke free.
00:27And how you can, too.
00:30Have you ever felt like running on a treadmill that goes nowhere?
00:34You work harder than anyone.
00:36You follow all the rules.
00:39But you're always one step behind.
00:42Perpetually haunted by a quiet, gnawing anxiety about money.
00:47You tell yourself to work harder.
00:50You tell yourself you're just unlucky.
00:53But what if the thing holding you back isn't your effort or the world?
00:57But an invisible cage you started building in childhood.
01:01A prison with no bars.
01:04Yet more confining than any physical cell.
01:07By the end of this story, you'll hold four keys to unlock it.
01:12First key.
01:14You'll see the invisible cage for what it is.
01:17A prison built from forgotten childhood beliefs.
01:20Second key.
01:22You'll discover a powerful practice to reset your relationship with money.
01:27Third key.
01:29You'll learn to activate abundance, even when you have nothing.
01:34Fourth key.
01:35You'll grasp the true nature of wealth and free yourself from its grasp forever.
01:40This is the story of Daniel Chen.
01:44He was trapped so deep inside this cage that he could barely breathe.
01:49Until, in his darkest moment, he discovered a secret that changed everything.
01:55Two in the morning.
01:58The city's heartbeat finally slows to a whisper.
02:02Towers of glass and steel stand like silent giants, their lights extinguishing one by one as the world drifts into slumber.
02:10But in Daniel's chest, a frantic drum solo pounds on.
02:16The cold blue light of his monitor paints his exhausted face.
02:22On the screen, an email glows an aggressive warning red.
02:26The third reminder.
02:28The numbers aren't just figures.
02:31They're a brand, searing into his self-worth, burning away his hope.
02:36He clicks it closed.
02:38But he can't shut down the voice in his head.
02:42How much longer can you keep this up?
02:46By day, he was the perfect employee.
02:49First to arrive, last to leave.
02:52A ghost in the corporate machine.
02:55He'd survive on cheap drive-thru burgers, telling himself he was responsible and saving every penny.
03:03Because he knew another battle waited after sundown.
03:06At night, he'd trade his office shirt for a delivery uniform, plunging into the chaos of the late-night city.
03:15The air, thick with grease and the noise of strangers, clung to him.
03:20Every forced, thank you, have a good night, chipped away at his soul.
03:26He'd get home near dawn.
03:28Collapse into bed.
03:29And just hours later, the alarm would scream, starting the cycle all over again.
03:37Over 80 hours a week, he was a mule turning a grindstone.
03:41But the finish line was a mirage that moved further away with every step.
03:46But physical exhaustion wasn't the worst part.
03:51It was the soul-crushing powerlessness that suffocated him.
03:56Sitting on a bench outside a convenience store one night, he opened his banking app.
04:02The numbers stared back, pathetic in the harsh fluorescent light.
04:07Rent.
04:08Bills.
04:09An unexpected medical expense.
04:11Three mountains threatened to collapse into an avalanche that would bury him completely.
04:18A month later, it happened.
04:22He made the call he'd been dreading.
04:25His voice was barely a whisper.
04:29Hey.
04:30I'm short on rent.
04:33The silence on the other end felt heavy.
04:36Then his sister's voice cut through.
04:39Okay, I got you.
04:42That afternoon, he walked to her house.
04:45He desperately craved the freedom wealth could bring.
04:48But his subconscious fought viciously to push it away.
04:53Because in his inner world, to be rich was to be a trader.
04:57That's why the money never stayed.
05:00Not because he didn't earn it.
05:02But a voice deep inside told him he couldn't keep it.
05:07He just kept running faster and faster on that wheel.
05:12Completely unaware that he was the one holding himself trapped.
05:15Memory is not a library.
05:17It's a locked room.
05:18And sometimes you have to force the door.
05:21Daniel closed his eyes.
05:24The reel of the past began to turn.
05:27A sweltering summer night.
05:29He was ten years old.
05:31He remembers his sister was sick with a fever, a cool towel on her forehead.
05:36And through the haze of heat and his own childhood anxieties, he heard a sound from his parents' room.
05:42A sound like thunder.
05:45His father's voice.
05:46A cry of pure desperation.
05:49It was an argument.
05:51Not about love.
05:53But about something heavier.
05:55Something suffocating.
05:57Money.
05:58The rent is due and the washing machine just died.
06:02His mother's voice was sharp and worried.
06:05I know.
06:06His father roared back.
06:08Not with anger.
06:10But with the frustration of a man being crushed.
06:13This job is killing me and it's still not enough.
06:17People like us.
06:18We just get screwed.
06:21Then his mother.
06:22Her voice laced with weary resignation.
06:25Forget it.
06:27For people like us.
06:28Just getting by is enough.
06:30You don't ask for more.
06:33He thought he'd forgotten that conversation.
06:36But the subconscious never forgets.
06:39His parents' anxiety.
06:41Their self-loathing.
06:42It became the blueprint for his own prison.
06:46The beliefs took root.
06:47Money brings pain.
06:50Rich people are bad.
06:52We are meant to struggle.
06:54And to be good, you must not be rich.
06:57These beliefs became the foundation stones of his cage.
07:01This was the fatal contradiction that would define his life.
07:06He was a man in a desert.
07:09Dying of thirst and chasing a mirage of water that his own mind kept pushing further away.
07:14The final blow always comes when you least expect it.
07:17It was a rainy afternoon.
07:21The sky tore open.
07:23Rushing to a delivery, a car swerved.
07:26Tires screeched on slick pavement.
07:28In that split second, the world went silent.
07:32He felt himself flying through the air.
07:36Then, a sharp, blinding pain shot through his right leg.
07:42He lay on the cold asphalt.
07:44Rain mixing with tears on his face.
07:46The world around him was a blur of distant sounds and worried faces.
07:52In the sterile, white world of the hospital, the doctor's verdict was brutal.
07:58A fracture in the torn ligament.
08:00You need to rest for at least three months.
08:03No work.
08:05Three months.
08:06The words echoed in his head as the world spun.
08:11No work meant no income.
08:14No income meant eviction.
08:17His savings, the small buffer he'd built with his blood and sweat,
08:22was a sandcastle against a tidal wave.
08:25Rent.
08:27Bills.
08:28The new medical expenses.
08:30Three giant mouths ready to devour him whole.
08:34He ended up at his sister's place.
08:38Humbled and broken.
08:40He couldn't even look her in the eye.
08:43The word thanks feels hollow and pathetic.
08:47As rain hammered against the window that night,
08:50he stared at the ceiling.
08:52He felt the full weight of his thirty-two years.
08:57No savings.
08:59No house.
09:01No car.
09:02No job.
09:05He was a ghost in his own life.
09:08The tears finally came.
09:12Not from the pain in his leg,
09:14but from the ache in his soul.
09:17The pain of being unseen.
09:20Even by himself.
09:21But what he didn't know was this.
09:25When life pushes you to the edge,
09:28the universe doesn't let you fall.
09:31It forces you to see the hidden door that was there all along.
09:34The turning point arrived with a phone call from an old college roommate.
09:38I know someone,
09:40his friend said.
09:42He's not a therapist,
09:44but he helps people get unstuck.
09:47Just meet him.
09:48It's just coffee.
09:49Daniel felt deep resistance.
09:54Tired of empty positivity.
09:56But with nothing left to lose,
09:58he agreed.
10:00They met in an old tea house,
10:02a quiet sanctuary from the city's noise.
10:04The man who greeted him looked like he'd stepped out another time.
10:10He appeared to be in his late sixties.
10:13Silver-streaked hair combed back neatly.
10:15He wore a simple dark indigo robe
10:18that gave him an air of timeless wisdom.
10:22His eyes held the calm of a deep mountain lake.
10:26And when he smiled,
10:28the lines around his eyes spoke of decades of understanding human struggle.
10:33Call me Teacher Tanaka, he said.
10:37His voice was gentle but firm.
10:40He poured Daniel a cup of tea.
10:42His movements are slow and deliberate,
10:46as if this were the most essential thing in the world.
10:50Then he looked up.
10:53I asked a question that was so simple it felt like a sledgehammer.
10:58Daniel,
10:58I don't want to discuss your debt or job.
11:02I want you to close your eyes and tell me.
11:05When you think of the word money,
11:08where do you feel it in your body?
11:10No one had ever asked him that.
11:14He closed his eyes.
11:17At first, his mind was a storm of numbers and notices.
11:21But Teacher Tanaka's voice was gentle.
11:25Don't think.
11:27Feel.
11:29Let your body speak.
11:32Daniel took a breath.
11:34Let his awareness drop from his head into his chest.
11:37And then,
11:40he felt it.
11:42An icy knot in his stomach.
11:45A tightness that crawled up into his chest,
11:48making his breathing shallow.
11:51His shoulders hunched forward.
11:54His body instinctively curled into a protective ball.
11:59He described the sensation.
12:01His voice quiet.
12:02Teacher Tanaka listened.
12:07Then,
12:07said the words that would change everything.
12:11You see,
12:12before you can manage your money,
12:15you must heal your relationship with it.
12:19Your poverty doesn't live in your bank account.
12:21It lives in your muscles.
12:25Your anxiety isn't a number of...
12:27He wasn't just writing words.
12:30He was seeing his father's tired frown.
12:34His mother's resigned sighs.
12:36He finally understood.
12:41He hadn't been managing his finances.
12:45He had been unconsciously reenacting his parents' tragedy.
12:49And their path was a one-way street to scarcity.
12:54But the most transformative challenge was yet to come.
12:59At their next meeting,
13:00Teacher Tanaka proposed a bolder exercise.
13:02I want you to imagine that money is a person.
13:09A living, breathing being.
13:12She walks through that door right now.
13:16Look at her.
13:18What does she look like?
13:20And...
13:21How do you react?
13:24An image flared in Daniel's mind.
13:28A woman in a sharp, expensive suit.
13:31Her expression was cold.
13:34Her gaze was sharp with a hint of contempt.
13:38As if she could see every one of his failures.
13:43The moment she entered,
13:44the air grew thin and cold.
13:48And...
13:48How did he react?
13:52He would look away.
13:54Pretending to be absorbed in his tea.
13:57He would feel a desperate hope for a handout.
14:01Yet,
14:02Simultaneously,
14:04There is an intense fear
14:06Of her coming anywhere near him.
14:09Because,
14:10Her presence amplified his own sense of worthlessness.
14:15He would protect himself
14:16With avoidance and feigned indifference.
14:20When Daniel described this,
14:22He was stunned by his own honesty.
14:26Teacher Tanaka waited.
14:28Then,
14:29Then,
14:30I asked the question that unlocked the cage.
14:36Daniel,
14:36If you treated a real person
14:38With that much fear,
14:40Suspicion,
14:41And avoidance,
14:42Would they want to stay in your life?
14:45The truth hit him like a physical blow.
14:51He had been pushing away the very thing he claimed to want.
14:56He had never tried to build a relationship with money based on respect.
15:02Only on need and fear.
15:07This wasn't attracting wealth.
15:10It was declaring war on it.
15:13He finally saw the root of the problem.
15:16But,
15:18He was broke.
15:20In debt.
15:22Exhausted.
15:24How could he possibly begin to repair a relationship this broken?
15:30Teacher Tanaka's answer seemed to defy all logic.
15:34But,
15:36It held a profound and simple truth.
15:39To receive,
15:40Teacher Tanaka said,
15:42You must first learn to give.
15:44Daniel almost laughed.
15:47Give?
15:48I can barely pay my medical bills right now.
15:51What am I supposed to give?
15:53Air?
15:54The teacher's eyes were full of understanding.
15:57True generosity is never limited to money.
16:00Money is just one form of energy.
16:02You possess things far more valuable.
16:06Like what?
16:08Daniel asked.
16:09His voice dripped with sarcasm.
16:11I have nothing.
16:13You have time.
16:15A resource that billionaires cannot buy more of.
16:18You have a skill.
16:20Video editing.
16:21A passion you let life bury.
16:24A skill is energy.
16:26And you have a heart that yearns to contribute.
16:29Your pain is proof of that desire.
16:31That heart is your greatest wealth.
16:35He leaned forward.
16:37When you begin to give energy outward without expecting a return.
16:41Your time.
16:42Your skills.
16:43Your care.
16:44You send a new signal to the universe.
16:47I am abundant.
16:49I have enough to give.
16:51And the universe, by law,
16:53Must respond to that frequency.
16:54But what if I get nothing back?
16:58Daniel asked.
16:59Then your motive wasn't pure.
17:02The teacher replied simply.
17:04True giving isn't a transaction.
17:07It's an expression of who you are.
17:10The feeling of abundance you get in giving is the magnet.
17:14Remember, your outer world is always a mirror of your inner state.
17:17Those words lit a flicker of light in his heart.
17:22That night, he opened his old laptop.
17:26On the screen were video projects from years ago.
17:29Ghosts of a time when he still had dreams.
17:33The next morning, he hobbled to the local community center on his crutch.
17:38Hi, he said to the woman at the desk.
17:41Do you need any volunteers?
17:43I can edit video.
17:45I could teach kids how to make movies on their phones.
17:48For free.
17:49I just...
17:50I need to do something.
17:53The woman's eyes lit up.
17:56We've been looking for someone for our youth program for months.
17:59When can you start?
18:01And so Daniel became a teacher.
18:04At first, it was just a way to fill the time.
18:07But then he noticed a quiet boy named Tommy,
18:10who never spoke, but whose eyes lit up like stars
18:14whenever Daniel demonstrated an editing trick.
18:18Daniel started staying after class,
18:20giving the boy one-on-one lessons
18:22and seeing a raw talent that needed acknowledgement.
18:26Three weeks later,
18:28Tommy shyly showed him a short film he'd made
18:30about his grandmother's daily routine.
18:33It was simple.
18:35Technically imperfect.
18:37But so full of love and warmth
18:38that it brought tears to Daniel's eyes.
18:42Tommy, Daniel said.
18:44His voice was thick with emotion.
18:47This is incredible.
18:48You have a real gift.
18:50The boy's face flushed.
18:52But his eyes shone with a light
18:54Daniel had never seen before.
18:56The light of a child
18:58who has finally been truly seen.
19:00In that moment,
19:02a wave of warmth washed over Daniel.
19:05It was a feeling of profound wealth.
19:08He hadn't received a single dollar.
19:10But by giving his attention and care,
19:13he felt richer than he had his entire life.
19:16He finally understood.
19:19Wealth wasn't a condition.
19:21It was a state of being.
19:23This was the third key.
19:26But Teacher Tanaka had one more piece of magic for him.
19:29I'm still so anxious about money,
19:31Daniel admitted at their next meeting.
19:33Good, the teacher said.
19:35Now we teach you the fastest way to change that energy.
19:39Gratitude.
19:40Gratitude for what?
19:42Being broke?
19:44Precisely.
19:44From now on,
19:47treat money as a friend.
19:49When it comes into your life,
19:51even a single dollar,
19:52say in your mind,
19:53thank you for visiting me.
19:56And when you pay a bill,
19:57don't feel the pain of loss.
20:00Thank you for the light it provided.
20:02For the water it brought you.
20:04Wish it well on its journey to help others.
20:07One week.
20:08Two weeks.
20:09One month.
20:11A subtle but profound shift began.
20:13The knot in his stomach started to loosen.
20:17His breathing deepened.
20:19His relationship with money was shifting from a fight to a dance.
20:23This was the fourth key.
20:26Gratitude was reprogramming his reality.
20:29And on the heels of that shift,
20:31a miracle was about to happen.
20:33Three months later,
20:34the cast came off.
20:37Daniel felt a freedom that was more than just physical.
20:40But the bigger surprise was waiting.
20:42After his class at the community center,
20:45a well-dressed man approached him.
20:49I'm Tommy's father,
20:51David Martinez.
20:52He extended his hand.
20:54I need to thank you.
20:56My son,
20:57he was so withdrawn.
21:00Since your class,
21:00he's a different kid.
21:02He has confidence.
21:03He's making friends.
21:05Daniel was embarrassed.
21:07Tommy did all the hard work.
21:09It's more than that,
21:11Mr. Martinez said seriously.
21:13I'm a creative director at an ad agency.
21:16I've seen your dedication.
21:18I've seen the professional quality of what you're teaching these kids.
21:22We have an opening for a video editor.
21:25I want you to interview for it.
21:28Daniel was speechless.
21:29This isn't charity,
21:32Mr. Martinez added.
21:33I genuinely believe you have the talent.
21:37That night,
21:38Daniel lay awake.
21:40Teacher Tanaka's words echoed in his mind.
21:43When you give from your heart,
21:45the universe responds in ways you can't imagine.
21:49He never dreamed his volunteer work would open the door to his dream.
21:53A week later,
21:56he got the job.
21:58The salary for half the hours was more than his old jobs combined.
22:03More importantly,
22:04he was finally doing something he loved.
22:07He rented his own small apartment,
22:10standing in the empty room,
22:11looking out at the city lights,
22:13his eyes filled with tears.
22:16He was finally out of the mud,
22:18but he didn't know the universe's most significant gift
22:22was still waiting for him.
22:24Disguised as a piece of worthless junk
22:26and hidden in a forgotten corner,
22:29with a stable income,
22:30life found a new rhythm.
22:32For the first time,
22:34there was breathing room.
22:36While sorting through old boxes one weekend,
22:38he found a yellowed photograph of his grandfather.
22:42In the photo,
22:43his grandfather was much younger,
22:45standing on a small stage,
22:46playing a guitar,
22:48and grinning from ear to ear.
22:51The memory was a rare,
22:52warm spot in his childhood.
22:55His grandfather played old folk songs
22:57in the backyard on summer evenings.
22:59Then he saw it,
23:00at the bottom of the box.
23:02The guitar from the photo.
23:05It was covered in dust and grime.
23:07The finish is raked and dull,
23:09strings missing.
23:11It looked like a piece of junk.
23:13He was about to throw it away,
23:14but looking at the photo
23:16of his grandfather's joyful face,
23:18he couldn't.
23:20He decided to clean it up
23:21as a small memorial.
23:23Something caught his eye
23:24as the cloth moved across the headstock,
23:27wiping away decades of neglect.
23:29Underneath the grime,
23:31gold lettering began to emerge.
23:34Martin and company.
23:36And below that,
23:38a serial number.
23:39His heart skipped.
23:42He grabbed his phone
23:42and searched for the serial number.
23:45The results made his hands shake.
23:47It was a 1943 Martin D-28
23:50from the golden age of Martin guitars.
23:53In the wartime era,
23:55they used special bracing
23:57that gave these instruments
23:58a legendary tone.
24:00The exact model that Johnny Cash
24:02and Hank Williams had played.
24:04Vintage guitar collectors
24:05called it the Holy Grail.
24:07His phone exploded
24:09with forum posts.
24:11A pre-war Martin D-28
24:13in decent condition
24:14can fetch $100,000
24:16to $200,000 at auction.
24:19He took it to three different
24:20vintage guitar specialists.
24:23The conclusion was unanimous.
24:25Authentic.
24:26With original Brazilian rosewood
24:28back and sides.
24:30Pre-war scalloped bracing.
24:32A forgotten masterpiece
24:33worth a fortune.
24:35That evening,
24:36Daniel didn't celebrate.
24:38He just sat beside the guitar.
24:40Gently running his fingers
24:42along its worn body.
24:44As tears streamed down his face.
24:46He wasn't crying
24:47because he was rich.
24:49He was crying
24:49because he finally,
24:51completely,
24:52understood.
24:53The guitar had always been there.
24:56It was waiting quietly
24:57in that box
24:58through his darkest,
24:59most desperate moments.
25:01But he had been blind to it.
25:02His heart was so full of fear
25:04and scarcity
25:05that he couldn't see
25:06the value right before him.
25:08He would have thrown it
25:09in the dumpster
25:09without a second thought.
25:11But when his heart
25:12had shifted
25:13from scarcity
25:14to abundance,
25:15from fear
25:16to gratitude,
25:17from taking
25:18to giving,
25:19he had opened his eyes.
25:21He had opened his antennae
25:22to receive the miracles
25:24that were already there.
25:25Our eyes finally see.
25:28Our ears hear.
25:29And the entire world
25:31begins to speak to us.
25:33Daniel's story
25:33has come full circle.
25:35He didn't sell the guitar.
25:37He had it professionally restored.
25:39It was a constant reminder.
25:41Abundance is always here
25:42as long as my heart is open.
25:45He started his own creative studio,
25:48helping talented young people
25:49who lacked resources.
25:51He knew the children's smiles
25:52at the community center
25:54were his wealth.
25:56Teacher Tanaka
25:56later asked him,
25:58If you could return,
25:59would you skip the pain?
26:02Daniel thought for a long time.
26:04No, he said.
26:07Without the pain,
26:08I never would have been
26:09forced to look inward.
26:11And without looking inward,
26:12I never would have found the cage,
26:14let alone broken it.
26:16The pain was a gift
26:17in ugly wrapping paper.
26:19Now, it's your turn.
26:21Let's review the four keys
26:22you learned today.
26:24Key 1.
26:25See your cage.
26:26It's built from the unconscious beliefs
26:29you formed as a child.
26:30Seeing it is the beginning of freedom.
26:33Key 2.
26:35Redefine your relationship.
26:37The money personification practice
26:38reveals your proper stance.
26:40If you treat money with fear,
26:42it will treat you the same.
26:44Change the relationship,
26:45and everything changes.
26:47Key 3.
26:48Start by giving.
26:51Even with nothing,
26:52you can activate abundance
26:53by giving non-monetary value,
26:55your time,
26:56skills,
26:57and attention.
26:58Giving proves you are already abundant.
27:01Key 4.
27:03The magic of gratitude.
27:05Gratitude is the simplest,
27:07most powerful way
27:07to shift your energy.
27:08Every thank you
27:10rewires your subconscious
27:12from scarcity to abundance.
27:13Now,
27:15I want you to do one thing.
27:17Ask yourself,
27:18what is one thing
27:20I was told about money
27:21that still affects me today?
27:23Write it down.
27:24Look at it.
27:26And then ask,
27:26is this really true?
27:29Or is it just a story
27:30I accepted?
27:32That is your first step
27:33to breaking the cage.
27:35Share your answer
27:36in the comments below.
27:38Let's see our cages together.
27:40And then let's break them.
27:42Because the key was never
27:43in someone else's hands.
27:45It has always been yours.
27:47If you found strength
27:48in this story,
27:49subscribe to the Inner Parables.
27:51Share it with a friend
27:52who needs to hear it.
27:54Because sometimes,
27:55all it takes
27:56to change a life
27:57is one good story.
27:59A story that reminds you
28:00that you are always
28:01worthy of abundance.
28:03Thank you for listening.
28:05May your cage
28:05begin to loosen from today.
28:08May your eyes
28:08begin to see from today.
28:10May abundance
28:11come into your life
28:12in ways you can't imagine.
28:14See you in the following story.
