Do you have monkeys in your life?
Do you have monkeys in your life?
I found this study to be very interesting....
Scenario: A group of monkeys were locked in a room with a pole in the center. Some luscious, ripe bananas were placed on the top of the pole. When a monkey would begin to climb the pole, the experimenters would knock him off with a blast of water from a fire hose. Each time a monkey would climb, off he would go, until all the monkeys had been knocked off repeatedly, thus learning that the climb was hopeless. The experimenters then observed that the other primates would pull down any monkey trying to climb. They replaced a single monkey with one who didn’t know the system. As soon as the new guy tried to climb, the others would pull him down and punish him for trying. One by one, each monkey was replaced and the scene repeated until there were no monkeys left in the room that had experienced the fire hose. Still, none of the new guys were allowed to climb. The other monkeys pulled them down. Not one monkey in the room knew why, but none were allowed to get the bananas. Story from The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey Pg. 19-20
Just like monkeys, we too have been taught not to take unnecessary risks. Have you tried something new only to find out you had absolutely no support from your friends and family? Can you start to see the similarities between monkeys and the people that surround you?
The monkey’s actions are based on FEAR! What is fear, the acronym for fear is false evidence appearing real. We get most of our advice based on fear and not fact! The fact is most of the monkeys would have enjoyed a feast of bananas! Due to the failed efforts of a few, everyone was denied the attempt to enjoy success.
When you’re trying something new, remember the monkeys! Don’t take offence if you encounter resistance from the people you care about; they are only trying to protect you from the unknown. You’re more successful to try and fail than to not try at all. Now that your awareness has increased, this doesn’t give you the green light to jump at every opportunity that comes your way! Find the smartest monkeys to mastermind your ideas and don’t pass up the bananas without a fight.
To your success.....
