Monkeys are captured when their hands get stuck in a jar, and they won’t let go of a peanut, banana or termites. Something they want.
At times, you have to let go of something you want in order to free yourself from being trapped. In this photo, what means more? Money or freedom?
Things don’t always work as expected. But change always makes way for something better, regardless of how it appears.
Your income, love, support, health and results don’t come from only one source, one person, one diagnosis or one deal.
God, the Divine, the universe, whatever you choose to call it, is your supply. God is never lost and has infinite possibilities for you.
Therefore, if something doesn’t work, new ways can be found.
Maybe your change is what it took for you to let go and allow new possibilities to occur.
Sometimes you have to let go to free yourself.
Consider the monkey who grasps something in a jar but can’t remove it. The neck of the jar is so narrow that it has to release its grip to get its hand out. But it won’t let go; it just pulls and pulls and pulls. It wants those tasties. Otherwise fast, agile and difficult to catch, this is how hunters and farmers sneak up behind them and trap monkeys.
Because they wouldn’t let go, they lost their freedom.
You’ll get results: your expectation, goal or something better. However, you may need to change your perspective or approach. You may need to let go of your emotional and mental grasp to allow something better to come in.
What you focus on grows. In the past, have you reacted to challenges with anxiety and stress? Instead, enjoy a childlike trust and curiosity. Look for how the universe is assisting you. Consider it a mystery, and you delight in discovering the answer.
Believe there’s a happy ending, and focus on it. Why not believe you can be happy with a happy ending? You probably tried fear and worry, and they don’t produce lasting and fulfilling outcomes.
The happy ending is here for you. Is there something you need to let go of for that freedom to happen?
