GLORY STORY
Pete & The Parrot
Back in the day, a hunter named Pete traveled into the depths of the jungle in search of food. During the last week of his trip, Pete would search for a special creature and take it home alive to keep as a new pet
During one of his trips, he found an exquisite green, blue & yellow parrot. He took his new found pet home and taught her to talk
The pristine parrot was enjoying her life, learning English, French and Hindi. But she did miss being free to enjoy the freedom & outdoor splendor of the jungle
After a couple years, when Pete was ready to return to the jungle, the parrot asked him if he could let the other birds in the forest know that he was doing well and eating some interesting yet tasty food
Pete gathered his gear and set off on his yearly expedition into the jungle to get some food for the winter and hopefully find another new pet for his menagerie
While there, he told the birds that the parrot was doing quite well, a black bird heard this and fell from a low branch and landed with a thud, Pete thought figured the bird was dead, he then moved on to find the jungle animals.. He found a small tiger and took him home for his newest pet
Pete used his machete to get out of the jungle with his new pet and a load of food including new found game meat, fruits, nuts and vegetables
When he got home, he put the tiger in a cage, the meat in the freezer and the fruits and veggies in the fridge and along the window areas of his home. Pete had a delicious supper, then went and let the parrot know that he told the birds she was ok and then a black bird dropped dead directly in front of him. The beautiful parrot immediately collapsed dead inside of its locked cage
The yearly hunter broke down and cried and took his pet parrot out of its cage. Upon being released the parrot sprang back up and flew away back to the jungle. Come to find out the black bird had played a trick on Pete by faking his death. The Parrot being as smart as he was figured this out and faked her own death to escape the confines of the locked cage.
The Takeaways from the Story include:
- If your intuition sees, feels or hears something important yet challenging, consider listening to the sign and doing what it tells you to do. The bird felt that the black bird sent her a sign, she did not dwell on the idea, she just did it and it worked for her. Even if it doesn’t work perfectly, you can always look for another sign and try that. The main thing is to do the action, don’t just think about doing it
- You may need to kill the life you live now to live a better life tomorrow
- Search for clues that can improve your day no matter where they may be
- People and animals are not born to be locked up in a cage. A real cage or a mental cage, it doesn’t matter, you have free will. Use it and move on to a better life. Yes, there is better out there. You just need to take action to find it.
- If you are in a bad job, relationship or addiction to drugs, alcohol or food that no longer serves you or gives you joy. You may want to quit/move on/get some help to get yourself out of the cage you are locked in.
- Figure out a way to get out of your cage and live a more Wonderful life. Take charge, do the action steps, challenge yourself, have fun and if you see the sign more than 3x, you know you need to do it, it’s telling you something and that is for sure!
