We live in a prison carefully constructed by our society. It is a prison without walls, a psychological prison. The walls are made of fear, anxiety, and worry. When we criticize, condemn, and complain instead of allow, accept and acknowledge, we live in a self-made Hell. It is within our power to escape from this prison, but only through discipline and responsibility, for our prison lies within, as does our freedom.
Freedom begins with disciplining the mind.
We can, through effort, bring our thought processes out of Hell into the Light simply by changing the focus of our attention. We can learn to generate more self-love by appreciating our strengths instead of punishing ourselves for our weaknesses. We can tune in to the beauty of life by seeking it out. We can appreciate what we have rather than what we have not. If we make a friend of our Self, we'll never be lonely, we'll always have a playmate.
