Prison. Not the likeliest place to stay motivated. The hate-filled stares and sour frowns from inmates and prison staff along with the oppressive environment are more than enough to overwhelm you with discouragement and pessimism. But if I can get up each morning (as I have for the past 9,173 days) with a pep in my step and a smile on my face ready to do the best I can in a bad situation, so can YOU. Smile, your life is worth living. 🙂 #freedwinrubis
