A man found an eagle’s egg and place it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air. Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in awe. “Who’s that?” he asked. “That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” said his neighbor. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth—we’re chickens.” So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.
One of the most common
reasons why most people fail to achieve the success they have always dreamed of
having is because they fail to recognize their true potential. We see ourselves
as the eagle that is living a lie for the rest of his life, not really knowing
and learning how to soar above the sky because of the limits that we create in
our minds. We often limit ourselves based on what we see, hear and feel around
us, basing our potential on what other people can do, what they think they can
do, and what they say you can do.
As human beings capable
of doing and experiencing so many beautiful and wonderful things, we should
realize the lie that we have been telling ourselves, and that this lie limits
our every move towards success. We should be able to rise above the limitations
we have brought upon ourselves and soar high above the sky with the people who
have also realized their true potential. Each one of us must fix in our minds
the goal of liberating ourselves from the limits we have brought upon ourselves
and deciding right now as you are reading this article to live your life being
limitless.
