The author starts by reflecting on an Instagram reel that posed the question "How big would you dream if you knew you wouldn't fail?". This question left the author stunned, as it made them realize the invisible prison they were trapped in - a prison of unreal excuses, fears, and doubts that prevent them from doing the things their heart desires.
The author explains that this "invisible prison" is born in the mind yet affects reality. It is a prison that we don't even realize we're in, making it even harder to escape. The author cites the quote "The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison", highlighting how these limiting beliefs can trap us without our awareness.
The author then emphasizes that the problem is not that we can't escape, but that we don't realize we're trapped in the first place. Escaping is easy, but recognizing the prison is the real challenge. The author suggests that this invisible prison of thoughts may be what stops us from pursuing our dreams or sharing our passions, such as publishing a blog.
Referencing another quote, the author reminds the reader that "Your excuses are seducers, your fears are liars and your doubts are thieves!" If we can unlock this prison of fear, the author believes that "magic will find you" and allow you to do wonders. The author questions why we let fear and doubt steal away our success, and encourages the reader to stop ignoring life and instead chase it before it leaves their doorstep forever.
