We are prisoners of our lives.

Of course, we also hold the key to our freedom.

Unfortunately, it’s as if we’ve forgotten this.

Sometimes, it seems like we complain about too many things happening in life. It’s as if this has become a form of socializing. I am guilty of this too. Even though I’ve trained myself to recognize and stop falling into a victim role.

Sometimes, it feels like there is too much work. It seems like there are too many tasks and too many roles in our lives. And all of them need to be fulfilled. Is it any wonder that this leads to a constant feeling of exhaustion?

The first important question we need to ask ourselves when we find ourselves in such a situation is:

“Who created this life that is not pleasant at all?” “Who created this dragon that steals our happiness, peace, and fulfillment?”

The reality is that we created this dragon.
