A Powerful Story AboutThe Eagle. 🦅

once upon a time ⏲️

A farmer found an abandoned eagle’s nest.

And in it was an egg still warm. 🌺 🥚

looking out…

there was no sign of its mother or of its siblings 👩‍👧

And so the farmer feared for the little eagle’s life.

and took the egg back to his farm 🏡

and laid it in the nest of one of his hens

After two weeks, the egg hatched 🐣

and out came a little baby eagle 🦅

the hens looked after the eagle

as if it were a little chicken 🐤

And so the eagle grew up.

Along with the other chickens 🐓

it pecked about the farm yard

scrabbling for grain 🌾

It ran into the chicken house. 🏡

When it started to rain 🌧️ it did exactly what all the other chickens did.

All his life…

It spent its whole life within the yard and rarely looked up.

Because, all the other chickens never looked up 🙄

After it had a very long, uncomfortable life in the chicken yard.

It was very old, and one day…

It decided to lift up its head, and so above a wonderful sight. 🌌

He saw an eagle soaring high above in the sky.

Looking at it, the old creature sighed and said to itself:

❝If only I had been born an eagle! 🦅❞

You see in life, in your life

You only have one life. 💖

let no one tell you what you can or can’t do 🙅‍♂️

because it is only up to you

You were born an eagle but decided to live as a chicken because all the others did the same. 🐓

What you don’t know is…🤔

that you are the eagle 🦅

that you are the Lion 🦁

that you are the chicken 🐓

That all the strength and might you need to fulfill all of your dreams in your life are already within you. 💪

Your decision not to look up into the sky and understand that you are an eagle, and as time will pass you become old; and one day when you realize that you are an eagle, it might be too late to change.

So go after your dreams today and believe that you can achieve anything that you want.

“Never judge an eagle by the opinion of turkeys.”
