Once upon a time,
at a large mountainside there was an eagle nest with 4 large
eagle eggs inside.
One day, an earthquake
rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down to a
chicken farm, located in the valley below.
The chickens knew that
they must protect the eagle egg. Eventually, the eagle egg
hatched and a beautiful eagle was born.
Being chickens, the
chickens raised the eagle to be a chicken. The eagle loved his
home and family but it seemed his spirit cried out for more.
One day, the eagle
looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles
soaring. ”Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those
birds.”
The chickens roared with
laughter, “You cannot soar like those. You are a chicken and
chickens do not soar.” The eagle continued staring at his real
family up above, dreaming that he could be like them.
Each time the eagle
talked about his dreams, he was told it couldn’t be done.
That was what the eagle
learned to believe. After time, the eagle stopped dreaming and
continued to live his life as a chicken.
Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed
away.
You become what you
believe you are. If you ever dream to become an eagle, follow
your dreams, not the words of chickens.
