Happy Tuesday.....
During my university days, we were grouped to do a prison project. This project entailed, visiting the prisons, interacting with the inmates to find out the offence they were charged with, how long they had been in prison and other necessary information.
During this exercise, I discovered that everyone in that prison including the innocent ones and those who did commit the offence they were charged with wanted one thing, and that was freedom. Certain activities that go on outside the prison walls also take place in the prison to help the inmates, but that wasn't enough, they wanted the life beyond the walls.
*********
Self imprisonment is when you allow all that you desire to be, all that God has called you to be, all the lives you need to impact, all the love you could give and receive, all the free life you would have lived, your opinions, inputs to the world, all your dreams and aspirations, the very life you want to have to exist only in your imagination and roaming behind the walls of fear.
The prisoners I used for illustrations above are in the prison and could take part in certain activities like schooling, football, carpentry, etc, but all these existed only in the prison, not beyond it. You can fantasize all you want and travel the world in your head, until it comes to materialization it's still a dream and you're still a prisoner of your own self.
The difference between you and the prisoners above is that you have a choice to set yourself free because you have the keys, but these prisoners don't.
You can and should decide today, to live that life you fantasize about in reality not in the prison walls of fear.
Decide to free yourself, to walk the path less travelled, to live your best, to fulfill your purpose, to make impact, to live a life worthy to be remembered, to be bold and fearless.
The choice is yours.... To stay prisoner of fear or set yourself free to fly beyond limits.
I hope you choose wisely.
Stay fearless and enjoy your week.
Love you large 😍
