Il est interdit d'interdire...

It is forbidden to forbid... It's the title of one of my other online journals and I've been asked what I meant by it a few times. Here is what I intended it to mean:

We have a tendency to put limits on what we think we can and cannot do. We put boundaries around ourselves thinking that we are not confident, smart, rich, beautiful, strong, and/or whatever enough to move forward, to rise above our own fears. We come up with the same old lame excuses for not doing the things we most desire. What can one person do? Plenty.

It is meant to enable rather than disable. Rather than say and believe you can't, live with passion and possibility. Not fear.

What do you want most in life?

It is such an important question. Many give the right answer but to the wrong question. Take out the external factors... disregard what others want and expect from you.

What do you really want most in life?
Nothing is forbidden.

Chocolate covered shrimp? Lol; yeah that is weird but whatever works. It's how a lot of things are invented.
