What are the Four Prisons of Self?

4/22/2021

 

FOUR PRISONS

We all have our regrets
which we hold and bury.

We all have our fears
which we manage or ignore.

We all have our secrets
which we cover or hide.

We all have our mistakes
which we repeat time and again.

We all have a view of ourselves
that can trap and restrict us.

Regrets, fears, secrets and mistakes
are the four prisons that stop us
becoming all that we should be.
 
Our transformation comes about
when we replace these with
love, joy, friendship, and trust,
 in all that we are, and do.

So replace your regrets
with joyful reminders.

Replace your fears
with trust in what is now.

Replace your secrets
with love of yourself.

Replace your mistakes
 with friendship and help for others.
 
Free yourself from the
four prisons of self,
and see the incredible person 
that you already are.
