Reflection of the chicken and eagle, choose which one you are today .
Eagle has a unique attitude and characters to learn from. Eagle is different from chicken. Chicken cannot fly as an eagle however they can fly most low when they are afraid of humans catching them. Chicken talks too much and does nothing. It can eat from provided and dead food.
On the other hand, Eagles are different. It has good vision, it is brave, it is lonely. It is sometimes quiet and so loud. Eagle has great vision to see the thing invisible from three to four miles away. Eagle always focuses on the things to catch it. It can pass through the heavy rain, snow, wind, and clouds to its target. Eagle never missed its target to get it.
Therefore, it can fly strongly until it touches the target. This metaphor can teach us to have a clear vision and remain focused on our goals to achieve them even when we face many challenges before we get something we want in life. Eagle is brave to face anything around its territory on the air and find live food on the earth. Eagles like to play against heavy wind and it is not like any other bird on earth. That is why the eagle is the king of other birds in the air.
Eagle does not compare with any other bird because it does not fly around other birds on the low level. This is a great lesson to learn that we should not be afraid of any challenges occurring in life, however we have to be bold enough to face them. We also do not have to be around people full of fear so that we could not be affected to be the same as they are.
Eagle is a lonely bird in the air. It never flies with any other bird because it likes to fly higher than any other birds when other birds are flying average of lower altitude. When an eagle experiences renewed feathers from old feathers, it stays away from other birds, trees, and plants.
Therefore, it stayed on the mountain to renew feathers by pulling out old feathers so that new feathers could grow and get new strength. It can come back to fly at normal altitude after the process of renewing the feathers. It flies higher than before it renews the feathers. This attitude can teach us how powerful it is when we are alone to think about changing our mind and our old habits. We clear everything out of our mind then come back to face the challenges in our way of fulfilling our destiny in life.
Eagles are tenacious. They love storms. They use the strong winds of the storm to lift themselves higher and higher to glide and thereby to rest. Achievers are not afraid of challenges! They use them to look for opportunities and don’t get bogged down in the problem. Determination is going beyond the limitations you thought you could not pass.
Eagles never eat dead things. This is kind of gross but the lesson is not. Do not rely on past success, keep looking for new frontiers/opportunities to conquer.
Eagles prepare for training. People who are used to moving fast and flying high are easily frustrated by people who want to hold them back. Always challenge your people or staff to get out of their comfort zone but never out of their strength zone.
Eagles possess vitality. We need to occasionally shed off old habits of things that burden us and add no value to our lives. Discover a person’s passion, hopes, and dreams, and then help them reposition so that they work according to their strengths. Show them how they contribute to the organization.
This will produce vitality and sustain the energy not only for the person but for the team and the organization. Good people are found not changed. Don’t waste your time trying to turn ducks into eagles. Hire people who already have the motivation and help them drive to be eagles and then just let them soar.
