Monkey-hunters
use a box with an
opening at the top,
big enough for the
monkey to slide its
hand in. Inside the
box are nuts. The
monkey grabs the
nuts and now its
hand becomes a
fist. The monkey
tries to get its
hand out but the
opening is big
enough for the
hand to slide in,
but too small for
the fist to come
out. 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 some
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 are hanging on
to which are
holding us back.
Successful people
don't rationalize.
Two things
determine if a
person will be a
success: reasons
and results.
Reasons don't
count while results
do...
