One Chef in the Kitchen

Imagine a well-stocked kitchen where you can make any recipe you want.  Here's the catch, only you can eat what is made in this kitchen.  Every dish you make is only for you to eat.

Would you have a friend in the kitchen with you, putting in this ingredient or that as it suited them?  Imagine this person (maybe a relative) just putting in a dash of nutmeg or chili powder. Oh, this will be good! Let's dump it into the mix.

How could this other person know your tastes?

This is what it's like when you have someone inject their opinions into your bubble reality.  Those voices tend to linger as well, like an aftertaste and start to influence your private moments.  There is a strength to keeping it to yourself, and forming an opinion yourself.

The big question: How would you like to have your Life if you could have it any way you wanted without limitation?  As you begin to answer this question, voices will start to crowd in; the dogma and domestication of a lifetime.  The opinions of relatives and other important figures will want to have their say.

Let this happen.  Just softly be aware of these voices as they float through your consciousness.  As you explore the big question alone in the room by yourself, you will hit on flashes of ideas that make you smile.  These are the crazy laugh out loud ideas.  If at that time someone appears in your mind to put the idea down, like an editor deleting the paragraph, don't worry about that, but do be aware of it.  Who is telling you that you can't live your life like that?  Where does that voice come from?

Be alone in your kitchen.  At least for a long while.  Find out what you like.  Try different things.  There is a power to it.  You will find your own taste and your own way of being. What is your way of being?
