HELP, I AM TRAPPED!

 


I was born into a family of 10 and had a mum who was so special to me and she was very industrious. She was adorable and had a heart of gold. She went into different business ventures and they all yielded results but one vocation took most of her time as she had people running the other ones on her behalf; she was a good farmer and almost settled for farming as the produce helped a lot in the house. This was the part l didn’t quite enjoy because we all would have to accompany her to the farm. So during holidays and most weekends we had farming activities to do. I felt l was trapped with this part of her life which she enjoyed doing and had found a way to pull all of us; the children into it. Most times, some of the crops where eaten up by some creatures because we had lots of farmland and before we could visit every one of them during the harvesting season, the predators would have feasted on some of them already. Oftentimes we find ourselves being pulled into what seem to be an exuberant venture for the other party while we follow helplessly into a seemingly restrained position and you feel helpless and think you are stuck.

I speak with adults, youths and teens today and l could hear them say indirectly l am trapped, please help me, especially when they really want to paint the story in a way you can relate with. . Some feel they are trapped in marriages they don’t like, some feel they are trapped in careers they don’t enjoy and have no passion for, some feel they are trapped in relationships that they define abusive, children feel they are trapped in their parents houses.

If you feel trapped, you are in an unpleasant situation in which you lack freedom, and you feel you cannot escape from it.



Permit me to say that the feeling of being trapped is a mind thing. It doesn’t mean you are not in an unpleasant situation, it doesn’t mean the relationship is not toxic, it doesn’t mean you are not being bullied, BUT YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT TRAPPED. What happened as a result of the unfair treatment you may be receiving from the other party, be it an organization, an individual, society or family is being interpreted by your mind wrongly. It could be either of these two or both;

·       It could means that your sense of reasoning needs a rebooting

·       It could also mean that your will power has been taken over by another.

With careful assessment and adequate counseling you might find a way to redefine your situation and find the best solution to it without feeling trapped. Feeling trapped means you are helpless, you have no clue as to how your freedom will come, you have no power to initial your escape plan. Generally, life has seemingly trapped a lot of people in ventures they never signed up for and many have resigned to fate. The normal for them is the unpleasant story they have to keep telling people about themselves and it doesn’t look good, neither does it look like a change will come when viewing it from the angle of the external because the expected turnaround may not come from the external rather what is require for the expected change to be initiated so your emancipation can be guaranteed lies within you.

Many people are with the notion that the world is indebted to them and as such should pay their debts. Unknown to them is that the reverse is the case. The world doesn’t owe you the future you desire, you became a victim when the negative vibes around you gained full access to your subconscious mind and painted an ugly picture about your position and placement in a space that was meant to be your territory, a space you were meant to own and designed exquisitely to match up your original status, a life that was meant to be champion by you so you could partner with the creator of your soul to take possession of what is rightfully yours. How could you be trapped, with talents, with potentials, with innate abilities and skills? Your limiting mind tricked you and trapped you, not your circumstance. Your circumstance may be ugly but it doesn’t have the power to trap you. I submit to you today, that you are more than this, you are more that the shadow you see when the rays of light reflects on you. Can’t you see that it couldn’t penetrate you so it went through your edge and cast a shadow? You are tough enough to handle the storm, to handle life and not let it break you. Wake up the giant in you and quit being the shadow of yourself. The world is earnestly waiting to see you manifest, so take back your will power and place it in the hands of your creator, charge your mind to get to work and divorce mediocrity and you will be on your way back to the place of dominion, where you rule and reign in your world.

You are not a VICTIM, you are a VICTOR. Always remember whom you belong to and don’t settle for the status quo, challenge it and make the change today.!!!
