ESCAPING FROM THE PRISONER MENTALITY

There is a prison in which many people decide to live and it is not one in which anyone else can put them but them. When you become a prisoner of this Correctional you decide to accept and practically embrace limitation in everything. But there is good news: just as you decide to be in the cage, you can decide to leave it behind without going through a greater process than making the decision to do so.


Have you ever wondered why you still don't live as you would like to? If your answer to this question goes along the lines of "I do not make enough money", "this government steals everything", "I am not enough". Welcome to your personal correctional and prison. The place where your dreams do not depend on you, or on what you do, but on what is outside.




That enclosure is accompanied by a character that makes you feel even more prisoner: excuses, in the form of: I need to be fixed, which means you are not enough to go for your goal. When you are a prisoner of your mind, the excuse fills you with empty arguments and reasons why you are still in that state. Those that look like the ones in the lines above or that go this way: "when I learn X or Y then I risk it"," I can only do it if X or Y","I'll keep waiting to do X or Y". Being a prisoner of these phrases - and all their variants-will end up leaving you with broken dreams.


If you are living in a mental prison of this size that I draw and that prevents you from going out, walking and going in search of your dreams, surely you have already noticed that in one way or another you are living in the wrong way.


"Your mind always reminds you of the bad,

the difficult, the negative. Remind her

Your Greatness, passion and your strength."

Jorge Álvarez Camacho


The transformation from a prisoner mind to a mind in power and freedom does not require electric shocks and does not need an officer hitting the bars of a cell. In fact, from here emerges another example of a prisoner mentality, believing that we need to change our perspective by force. However, we were not born to live like this, we are beings with a higher capacity, we are creative enough to create our prisons, we are so to lay them down.


The good thing about this prison is that you are the jailer and The Guardian. That gives you all the power over the bars and cages that have you in a situation where you don't want to be and away from the one you want.


If you have allowed yourself to live in a prisoner state, allow yourself to live in one of freedom, just make the decision to do so. Live without limiting your abilities, exploring them, which is what will then fill you with skills and knowledge, and making you responsible for who you are and what you want for your life, that power you do not want to leave to any person or scenario.
