Do you know how Monkeys are caught in India?
Monkey hunters use a box with an opening at the top, big enough for the monkey to slide it's hand in, inside the box are nuts. The monkey grabs the nuts and now it's hand becomes a fist. The monkey tries to get it's hand out but the opening is big enough for the hand to slide into, but too small for the fist to come out of, now the monkey has a choice, either to let go off the nuts and be free forever or hang on to the nuts and get caught. Guess what it picks every time? You guessed it. He hangs on to the nuts and gets caught.
We are no different from monkeys. We all hang on to the nuts that keep us from going forward in life. We keep Rationalizing by saying, " I cannot do this because...." and whatever comes after "because" are the nuts that we hanging on to that are holding us back.
Successful people don't rationalise.
People who do not learn lessons from history are doomed. We learn from failure if we have the right attitude. Experience is the name we give to our mistakes. Some people live and learn, and some only live. Wise people learn from their mistakes, Wiser people learn from other people's mistakes. Our lives are not too long enough to learn only from our own mistakes!
Burn that bridge that takes you back. Whatever you don't stop or change now can equally stop you or change you tomorrow.
Be wise, don't be caught up in the Monkeys Trap.
