The “no longer poor” soul recognized clearly that he still had much to learn—life always offered new lessons—but he had learned all he could from the Puppet Master.
The Puppet Master continued pulling strings, hoping to keep him in an endless cycle, but the “no longer poor” soul realized there was no growth left in these games. He understood that “where attention goes, energy flows“, and he decided to redirect his energy toward pursuits that genuinely fostered growth and understanding.
He wished the Puppet Master well, knowing that if they chose to remain stuck in their cycles, it was their journey, not his. With gratitude for the lessons learned, he calmly stepped away from the theater.
The curtain fell, the lights dimmed, Adieu, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Moral of the Story?
When you have learned all you can from a situation, peacefully move on. Your energy deserves to flow towards growth and new opportunities.
