you know work has been so difficult because I have so much resentment towards my co-worker and I get home and it's been two weeks and she's left and it's an empty house and I I can't let go I don't know what to do gotta help me have you heard about the monkey trap no hear me out hear me out in ancient times the way they would catch a monkey unharmed was that they would put a jar in the ground with its favorite food and the jar was wide in the bottom and will get narrower on the top the monkey would place his hands into the jar try to grab the food but man we'll get stuck even when they saw the Hunter coming their way they would still hold on to the food not letting go and they got trapped Sean so often in life we hold on to things longer than we should we hold on to resentments we hold on to fears we hold on to relationships even when it's over and all it brings us is more suffering and more pain just let go let go and you'll be free [Music]
