Spider Monkey..

wow.. what a fantastic weekend.. got to hear wisdom from successful people to share their thought on how to achieve what we want in life.

out of the many story that the people shared, one caught my attention is that how easy to catch a spider monkey. for those who do not know what is a spider monkey is, its an animal that people uses to train and get it to pluck the coconut that is on the coconut tree(for obvious reason).

so there is a story about how to catch a spider monkey is shared, and here is how it goes:
to catch spider monkey is easy. just prepare a heavy container that is wide at the bottom, narrow at the top and place a nut or food that the monkey wants. because the the top is narrow, the monkey have to squeeze their hand/fingers/paw to get the food that is in the container. and once in the container, the hand/fingers/paw gets too large for the monkey to pull out of the container. instead of letting go of the food, the monkey will sit and wait for the hunter to pick them up and put it in the bag.

easy to catch, wont you agree?

what caught my attention is that, are we like the spider monkey? are we clinging on to that one thing that is trapping us for the rest of our life? or are we willing to let something go in order to get out freedom??

What type of freedom are we talking?
i don't know. that is you to define. you define your own freedom, and what are you willing to let go in order to get that "freedom"?
