How
To Eat A Mango

"If
the same verse keeps repeating we must be stuck in a groove. Or,
if we are stuck in a groove we will keep hearing the same verse."
I love the smell and taste of a
plump fresh mango.
I always have. But for most of my life I would not buy or eat
them. Why? I really never thought about it. Then one day somebody
showed me how to eat a mango. Here's the secret.
Slice the mango length ways close to the seed. Now
cut that slice half way lengthwise. Now simply peel the skin back
on either side of the slice with your fingers and teeth as you eat the pulp.
Now repeat the process with the other side of the mango.
Now you are left with a mango with the two sides
cut and eaten. Now simply peel the skin from around the mango
and eat around the seed. Not quite as simple as eating an apple
but worth the effort. Now I eat mangos whenever I can.
Not much of a secret was it? I wonder how often we
are held back in life because we never stop to think about what we
do?
Most of what we are is the product of
the genes we
inherited, the behavior we observed from our parents, and our
experiences as we grow and mature through life. If we eat something and then get sick, we may never eat
that food again even though it had nothing to do with being sick. We all develop
prejudices that hold us back from experiencing life to its
fullest.
Life can be seen as
overcoming the prejudices we are taught by our parents, our experiences,
our friends, our governments, the media, our church and in fact by
nearly everything in our existence. How do we overcome this
training? Be open to learning to eat a mango.
