Forbidden Fruit - Or Not?

How often do you feel that other people get to have something
that is forbidden to you? Something that’s forbidden, not because
it’s impossible (like playing pro ball if you’re only 5 foot 4),
and not because you shouldn't have it because it’s bad for you, but
because you simply won't permit yourself to have it.
You dream big dreams. Then you do your research. You even get
started with the project whether it’s a new business, a
new relationship, a new savings account, a new diet. You’re
great at the start-up phase.
But then pretty soon you “lose interest,” you “get bored”
or you decide “it’s not for me,” “it will take too long” or
“I’m just not cut out for this.”
Ahhhh, no matter the form it takes, you are a wizard at
singing your blues rendition of Forbidden Fruit.
And blue you are, depressed and blue.
But true you are to your conviction that the world is
brimming over with delicious treats you can’t have.
And you’re so certain you can’t have them that you
won’t even allow yourself to learn how to have them.
That’s how stuck you are.
Please don’t hide behind the mistaken idea that you
are so specially limited that you can’t do anything
but suffer. That’s just false praise and worship of
your unconscious fear of being fabulous.
So, what’s the simple difference between you
and those who live truly fabulous lives?
Very little, except they have developed the steadfast
discipline to learn and keep going. After all, the root
of the word discipline is “disciple” – which means to
be a learner.
And when you give yourself permission to be a learner,
you break out of the prison that has held you hostage
since . . . the time when you learned and believed that
you couldn’t move forward, couldn’t have what others
have.
Liberate yourself, which you can do, every time you can
say “I don’t know how, please show me,” “Please help me,”
or “I’ll do whatever it takes to master this.”
When you sincerely open yourself to learn, the gate opens
that has kept you from that previously forbidden fruit. You
imagine and then believe you can jump over the fence, climb
the ladder, and pick the ripest, juiciest fruit you’ve always
wanted.
And guess what? You do.
You become like every other person who has ever made their
dreams come true. You set your goal. You ask for help. You
learn, and learn, and then you learn a whole lot more . . . until . . .
Until you are living the fabulous life you so desire.
So, be a learner. Be fabulous.
