Is it your turn to Shine? Are you a Chicken or an Eagle?

There was a bird scientist visiting a farmer. He noticed that amidst the chicken , there was an eagle. He ask the farmer, why is there an eagle with your chicken? The farmer answered, “well, I found this eaglet and did not know what to do with it, so I started feed him chicken feed, raised him with the chicken , and he seemed to like the feed , so he stayed. The scientist asked the farmer if he could make an experiment with the eagle. He took him in his arms, told him “ you are an eagle; you belong to the open skies,” but the eagle flew back to the chicken. He tried to take him away to the top of the farm, and told him again, “ you are an eagle; you belong to the open skies, ”but the eagle escaped again, and went back to his friends the chicken. The scientist took the eagle again, but this time he went to a high mountain, and he told the eagle, “ you are an eagle; you belong to the open skies, to the great spaces, and glide.” And this time he threw the eagle out to the open air. First, the eagle protested a little, but quickly he spread out his majestic wings, screeched, and soared with great majesty to the heavens and started to do what he was made to do: reigning over the open skies, gliding with majesty, and be the most beautiful creature one could ever behold.

Now it is time to ask yourself, are you the eagle, living with chicken, and thinking you are a chicken, or are you meant to carry your life in another dimension,  show your true meaning, and spread out your wings?  Even the eagle lived for a long time amidst chicken somewhere in his mind, he never forgot that his wings would carry him so high, and so far.

Go on, spread out your wing and your purpose , spread out your talent and what you were always meant to be, go in your life and share your true gifts with the world, and shine!
