a man sitting near the back door ran out almost knocking over a table
The young man , went immediately after him, with no explanation to his Uncle
His uncle caught him at the door " where are you going ?
" That guy Is Jim. He owes me $20
He has been avoiding me for weeks .He won't take my calls , I am going to catch him and get my $20 back .
Before you do that can I ask you a couple of questions?
Quick I got to catch that jerk" the young man said
Do you like Jim ?
No
Is he a positive or negative person ?
Negative
Do you want him in your life ?
No
Then let him go
Why ?
Think it thru isn't $ 20 a cheap price to keep Jim running away from you ?
I,d pray he keeps running
Thats best $20 you will ever spend
Bonus story
A little bird was flying back to its nest with a large piece of bread
A flock of much larger birds saw the bread and were trying in mid air to take the bread from him
The little bird did his best evasive moves
But the larger birds were relentless
Exhausted the little bird let go of the bread
The Larger birds flew to the ground to get the bread
And the little bird had his peaceful sky back
Peace of mind ,for a piece of bread and $20
Let go
