PRISON BREAK
PRISON BREAK
by Franklin Paul founder of Design to Reign
Any prisoners will tell us how being in a prison can be like, how it takes away one's freedom to live, how it takes away one's free will, it takes away one's fundamental essence which is " CHOICE" a will to choose, the prison takes away the very life out of a person, it literally kills a person from the inside out until the prisoner surrenders to the system of the prison, the prisoner does not live for who he is but rather live for what he has become.
"THE PRISONER DOES NOT LIVE FOR WHO HE IS BUT RATHER LIVES FOR WHAT HE HAS BECOME"
Think about it, just outside of the prison wall the prisoner can become whoever he wants to be, the only thing that stops this prisoner is a wall and a system. This is the scenario of a prisoner's life by force, other words the prisoner does not have any choice but to obey, unfortunately, just as the prisoner, the majority of us who also live in a prison by a system that we are not even aware of, this system we live in have literally robbed the very purpose of men and woman, cunningly this system has us believe that life is what it is. We are programmed into this unaware and not by choice of freedom, we live a life of a fulfilled survivor than a fulfilled life of purpose.
" THERE'S NO GREATER GIFT THAN TO HONOR YOUR CALLING. IT'S WHY YOU WERE BORN. AND HOW YOU BECOME MOST TRULY ALIVE" -Oprah Winfrey - Oprah Show.
The reality of the prisoner and us is that the prisoner did not have a choice however we do, we do have a choice, we have a choice not to stay in the prison our society, our culture, our education, and social mobility have taught around us from a tender age, we live based on someone's approval, we look for guidance from young which is a noble thing to do but the problem begins when we extend this process to include in our life calling and purpose.
People by nature, even the well-meaning that your looking for guidance have motives of their own, they might not admit it but if you look close enough it will show itself, most people will opt to fit you into a lifestyle that makes the most sense to them and to gain their approval we give up on our purpose and calling, our surrounding approval has become so important that we are willing to deny of who we are, we act on someone's directed movie, we bury our purpose the only thing that could bring meaning to life.
There is an interesting story in the bible, where Peter the fisherman whose name was SIMON or Simeon which means in the Hebrew " he hears" to Peter which means " the rock", what's my point?, my point here is, Jesus the son of God, would look at a man and immediately bring purpose into his life. Peter lived and breathed fishing, that's all he knew, maybe it was handed down by his father who could have been a fisherman himself, Peter taught that's life until Jesus showed him his true calling and purpose. If God values purpose that much, we should too.
- WHY PURPOSE BREAKS YOU FROM YOUR PRISON-
" HAVE THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND INTUITION. THEY SOMEHOW ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY WANT TO BECOME" - Steve Jobs- Cofounder of Apple inc.
Your Purpose is the sole being to which you were created for, in it is the very essence of life you meant to live, your purpose will bring clarity to your life like a jigsaw puzzle, without that one piece, the whole picture is distorted, but when you find that one piece of the puzzle, what you'll have is a beautiful picture starring right at you and that my friend is how your purpose will illuminate your life, you will become alive, there will be a new meaning to life.
" EFFORTS AND COURAGE ARE NOT ENOUGH WITHOUT PURPOSE AND DIRECTION"-John F. Kennedy - President of the United States of America.
Your purpose will bring such clarity and focus in your life, suddenly you will feel that you have been awakened from death it's self, your purpose will bring much sense to your daily life, it will bring the why behind the what you do.
- PURPOSE - PASSION - GIFTS - VISION - DESTINY-
Your purpose will awaken your passion, your passion will ignite your gifting, your gifting will bring clarity of vision and your vision will lead you to your destiny - Franklin Paul- Design to Reign.
Your purpose will break you free from the prison of lies that we have told ourselves for years that we can never be free from what we know, your purpose will not only break your free from your prison but it will push you forward to the life you meant to live, a happy, passionate, fruitful and achievement life.
" Among his various possible beings, each person always finds one which is his genuine and authentic being. The voice which calls him to that authentic being is what we call " vocation". But the majority of people devote themselves to silencing the voice of the vocation and refusing to hear it. They manage to make a noise within themselves..to distract their own attention in order not to hear it, and they defraud themselves by substituting for their genuine selves for a false course of life"
- Jose Ortega Gasset - Spanish Philosopher-

Such a fantastic blog! Well considered & written. So true that we have created our own prisons with our limiting beliefs, taught to us over the course of our lives!
