Getting out of the jail

I lived in jail for long. Some of the bars are created by society, some of them by my own loving parents (with good intention to protect me), some of them by my teachers that I looked upon as a child, some of them by my friends and peers, some of them by my significant relationships...The strongest bars seem to be created by myself over time without even knowing about them - my own thoughts and views that were influenced by all people I know directly or indirectly, the books I read, the movies I watched...
I used this post-it drawing to remind me to get out the invisible jail every day and every moment. It could be some thoughts and expressions like “I don't think I can....”, “I am not creative (and other adjectives)...”, “English is my 2nd language...”. Those are the bars of the jail that I want to break...for myself and others. Did I break free? I believe so, but the mental strength needs to be exercised regularly.
70%-80% of people, including men, have imposter syndrome. What jail might you be in?
