FLY WITH THE EAGLES OR SCRATCH WITH THE TURKEYS!!!
I got this from a friend and I know it will bless you....
The Eagle has the longest life-span of its species. It can live up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a very difficult decision!
In its 40th year, the eagle's long and flexible Talons can no longer
grab a prey which serves as food. Its long and sharp beak becomes bent.
Its old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, stick to its chest and make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle is left with only two options: DIE or go through a painful process of CHANGE!
This process lasts for 150 days (5 months)
The process requires the eagle to fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest. There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks it out.
Then the eagle will wait for the new beak to grow back after which it will pluck out its talons. When its talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old aged feathers.
And after this the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and LIVES for 30 more years!!
Why is Change needed???
In order to survive and live. We too have to start the change process. We sometimes need to get rid of the unpleasant old memories, negative habits and our fixed mind set. Only Freed from the past burdens can we take advantage of the present.
If an eagle can make a life saving and life changing decision at the age of 40....why can't we? In order to take on a New Journey ahead, let go of your negative old limiting beliefs.
Open up your mind and let yourself fly high like an eagle!
When it rains, all birds occupy shelter. But the EAGLE avoids the rain by flying above the clouds....The problem is common to all but the attitude to solve it makes the difference!
Don't be afraid of change...accept it gracefully..!!!
My questions to you is this! Do you want to fly with the eagles or scratch with the turkeys!! Over to you!

GO TO THE ANTS
God is wiser than the wisest and thereby knows the best places to source. In fact, He is the principal source of wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing in all thy getting. Let me just draw your attention to a few thoughts in this blog. Why would God in all His sovereignty ask us to go an check out the ants and learn from them? Just like me; you might be wondering why God who made us in our own image ask us to go learn from ants (nonentities, seemingly ignoble creature) over which man has been made to rule and dominate? So many questions flooded my mind as well.
I believe there is little to learn directly from the way ants prepare and plan for their feeding and living during raining season during the dry season. Moreover, it is already in the know that when you fail to plan, you are definitely planning to fail. I think the most important lesson to learn from the phrase "Go To The Ant" is how to unveil the real wisdom vault.
Conclusively, wisdom lies in the bosom of the seemingly useless; more than 90% of the wise words we live by today are from men and women who were once termed dullards, nonentities, useless, school dropouts etc. For example, Bill Gate, Ben Carson, Alico Dangote, Cosmos Maduke, Oprah Winfrey, Henry Ford etc. Ecc 4:13 tells us that better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king because that child has a future. Also, Ecc 9:15-16 tells us about a poor and wise man who by his wisdom delivered a city; he might not be valued presently but it is a matter of time, men and women will pay to seat around the same table. Lookout for wisdom from your children and subordinates, consider their ways and be wise; that's real wisdom. God bless you.
