Have a little faith

“When a baby comes into the world, its hands are clenched, right? Like this?"

"Why? Because a baby not knowing any better, wants to grab everything, to say the whole world is mine. But when an old person dies, how does he do so? 

Why? Because he has learned his lesson." "What lesson?" I asked. He stretched open his empty fingers. "We can take nothing with us.”  

When your hands are open you can let go of things you shouldn't be holding on. Letting go of something else opens the opportunity for your hands to be unclenched and open for whatever the nest step in the journey is, Keeping your hand open promotes two things:  
1.  You want to give all you have to others and share the lessons, the laughter, and the gifts. Your life is a blessing and blessings are meant to be shared. 
2.  Keep your hands open - to release something and to receiving something different or better.
