Overcoming your Instincts
There's a banana inside a tight-barred cage. A monkey slips his fingers between the bars and reaches his arm towards the banana. When he grabs the banana, he clenches his fist and tries to pull out his arm. He's stuck. The banana won't come out of the cage. The monkey will not let go of the banana. It's not it's instinct.

Josh, we are all hungry. For food, for love, for acceptance. Instinct is our knack, talent, impulse, aptitude, instigation, orientation. It is what we know because of our own experiences. To go beyond our instincts is taking a risk. Doing something that is unknown, a gamble, a dare, to venture. Once a person has made mistakes from taking a risk, a lesson is learned. Sometimes you get to a point in your life where you need more....you need to grow, learn, explore and overcome your instincts. At any age or time in your life, the wisdom you gain becomes the recipe of your life.
