A Penny for a Vase

A metaphor:

A mother and father owned a priceless heirloom vase they planned to give their young son when he was old enough to appreciate it. One day, they saw the young boy had his hand stuck in the neck of the vase. They pulled and pulled, but they could not get his hand out. Finally, they realized the only way to free the boy was to break the precious vase. They were devastated as they were forced to shatter the priceless gift.
When they were able to pull the boy's hand out, they saw it was clenched in a fist around something. That was why they could not get it back through the neck of the vase. Curious, they opened the boy's hand to see what had been so important that he wouldn't let go of. They peeled back his fingers to discover a bright shiny penny. The boy had seen the penny at the bottom of the vase and had reached in to pull it out. And because he didn't want to let go of the treasure he thought he found, he lost the priceless treasure meant for him.

Question: What are you holding onto that it's time to let go of? The Universe has a priceless treasure meant just for you. What bright shiny penny have you been desperately holding onto that is preventing you from receiving it?
