I'm sure that we all know the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp. I grew up watching the Disney film and as I understand the story, Aladdin finds a magic lamp and once he rubs it a genie appears granting him three wishes.
You might have played a game similar to this growing up. Simply, you are granted three wishes with the rule that you cannot wish for more wishes. I believe there are some rules that applied to Aladdin in the Disney movie as well. I don't recall them off the top of my head, so I might take a trip down memory lane.
Anyway, Aladdin only has three wishes. Just three! No more. No less. One, two and three. That's it.
Honestly, I think that's a little cheap. He almost dies trying to get the lamp and he is only granted three wishes!? C'mon, Walt!
What if he had one more wish? What if he had five wishes? Or even 10? Or even 100? Or a 1000!? I'd still be watching the movie if that were the case.
But no. There is a limitation. A rule. Somebody telling him that he cannot have more.
We are like Aladdin in that we each have a magical lamp to rub. The difference is (and this is the secret) there are no limitations. There are no rules. We can choose to have as many wishes as we want! Imagine that! Having unlimited wishes!
But there is a catch! That's right. There's always a catch. And here it is. You and only you are the limitation. You have set your own rules to have limited wishes. You are choosing to have limited wishes.
It's time to break the rules and break the limitations into unlimited wishes, unlimited abundance, and unlimited freedom. You are the genie.
Just be careful what you wish for...
