" 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
