What this means is that we tend to attempt to resolve difficult circumstances in our lives the same we did before, except that this time the result will be different in that our difficulty to be resolved and we will feel better. Then, when it doesn&#8217;t get better and our problem isn&#8217;t resolved, we do the same thing again, perhaps with more intensity, to try and solve our problem. And again, it does not work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was amazing to me that a little bird seemed to have the conscious awareness to understand that it would not (because it could not) escape the snare presented by that window in the walkway unless it made a &#8220;decision&#8221; to let go of its struggle and allow me to rescue it. The bird seemed to willfully &#8220;relax&#8221; his cares into the possibilities that a savior could come to the rescue and rest in the will of its savior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That is the choice you have today.
