Some things are so easily accessed and readily available. They’re right under your nose, but if you don’t know, don’t think you can afford it, think it’s impossible, exclusive, or restricted, you don’t ask, OR you ask someone who doesn’t really want you to have it, doesn’t know any more about it than you do, or doesn’t like it, and quickly suggests something that THEY prefer, you’ll NEVER experience it—unless someone else provides it. Even then, you’ll wonder how they gained access, and still think it’s out of your reach.
By depending on erroneous information, you’ll allow yourself to be steered in another direction. You’ll reach way over the authentic, excellent thing right in front of you, to waste resources on something mediocre. You’ll settle for a substitute, a poor representative, a copy, or an unreasonable facsimile. You’ll settle for a piece, when the whole was right at your fingertips.
When you see others enjoying the real thing, and they convey how uncomplicated it was to obtain, it’s a reminder to:
ask questions of reliable sources,
stop parroting what “they” said,
discern the motives of others,
gain information for yourself, and
stop assuming what others ought to know, based on perceived relationships.
A bewildered “But, I thought…” need never cross your lips. You can have it, too. You can collaborate, or participate, too. You can know the truth, too.
Who did you ask?
