Sent in an email to me today, from a friend that has just made an epic life change. A life change that will enrich and sustain him for the rest of his life!!
The Spirit of An Eagle
"If you focus on results, you will never change.
If you focus on change, you will get results"
The eagle has the longest lifespan among birds....
It can live upto 70 years....
But to reach that age it must make a hard decision
In it's late 40's.....
It's long and flexible talons can no longer grasp it's prey
which serves as food.
It's long and sharp beak becomes bent....
It's old aged and heavy wings, due to the thick feathers,
become stuck to it's chest and becomes difficult to fly....
The process requires that he fly to a mountain top and sit on it's nest...
There the eagle knocks it's beak on a rock, until it plucks/falls out.
After plucking it out, it will wait for a new beak to grow back , then it
will pluck out it's talon's....
When it's new talons have grown back, the eagle will pluck out it's old aged
feathers.
After 5 long months, the eagle takes it's famous flight of ''Rebirth''
and lives for another 30 more years....
Why Is Change Needed??
Many times in order to survive we have to start a change process.
We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and other past habits.
Only freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain - reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.
It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.
So let's focus on changing ourselves first !!
