"THE STORY OF AN EAGLE..."

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 when 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!

LET THEM BECOME A HELPING HAND

A young man went to seek an important position at a large printing company. He passed the initial interview and was going to meet the director for the final interview. The director saw his resume, it was excellent. And asked, ' - Have you received a scholarship for school?' The boy replied, " No '. -' It was your father who paid for your studies? ' -' Yes.'- He replied. -' Where does your father work? ' -' My father is a Blacksmith' The Director asked the young man to show him his hands. 
The young man showed a pair of hands soft and perfect. -' Have you ever helped your parents at their job? ' -' Never, my parents always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, he can do the job better than me. 
The director said: -' I have got a request: When you go home today, go and wash the hands of your father and then come see me tomorrow morning.'
The young man felt his chance to get the job was high. When he returned to his house he asked his father if he would allow him to wash their hands. His father felt strange, happy, but with mixed feelings and showed their hands to his son. The young man washed his hands, little by little. It was the first time that he noticed his father's hands were wrinkled and they had so many scars. Some bruises were so painful that his skin shuddered when he touched them. This was the first time that the young man recognized what it meant for this pair of hands to work every day to be able to pay for his study. The bruises on the hands were the price that he payed for their education, his school activities and his future. After cleaning his father's hands the young man stood in silence and began to tidy and clean up the workshop. That night, father and son talked for a long time.
The next morning, the young man went to the office of the director. The Director noticed the tears in the eyes of the young man when He asked him: -' Can you tell me what you did and what you learned yesterday at your house?' The boy replied: -' I washed my father's hands and when I finished I stayed and cleaned his workshop ' -' Now I know what it is to appreciate and recognize that without my parents , I would not be who I am today . By helping my father I now realize how difficult and hard it is to do something on my own. I have come to appreciate the importance and the value in helping the family.
The director said, "This is what I look for in my people. I want to hire someone who can appreciate the help of others , a person who knows the hardship of others to do things, and a person who does not put money as his only goal in life". ' You are hired '.
A child that has been coddled, Protected and usually given him what he wants, develops a mentality of " I have the right ' and will always put himself first, ignoring the efforts of their parents. If we are this type of protective parent are we really showing love or are we destroying our children? You can give your child a big house , good food , computer classes , watch on a big screen TV . But when you're washing the floor or painting a wall , please let him experience that too. After eating have them wash the dishes with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you have no money to hire someone to do this it's because you want to love them the right way . No matter how rich you are, you want them to understand. One day your hair will have gray hair, like the father of this young man. The most important thing is that your child learns to appreciate the effort and to experience the difficulties and learn the ability to work with others to get things done.

Thanks for reading and please always share with others.

JUST DROPS!!

*JUST DROPS!*
Recently, when I was going to bed after using
my bathroom, I started hearing sound of
drops of water from the tap in slow
successions, but since it was dropping into
an empty bucket, I decided to let it be.
But, alas! When I woke up the next morning,
around 5am, the bucket was almost full! I
was surprised that just drops even in such
slow successions could produce that much. I
couldn't help it, 'Just drops?!' I questioned
rhetorically.
But the following night, I made sure that the
tap in my bathroom was locked completely
and I checked the bucket and saw that it was
empty, though wet. Then I went to sleep.
I guess you already know what I saw the next
morning. The bucket was not wet as I had
left it, but it was now dry!
Then I realized the importance of a drop and
how much difference it can make in all
ramifications of one's life compared to a dry
tap.
Imagine letting the drops be for a year, I
would be scooping with drums at the end of
the year!
So, how about that drop of savings?
How about that drop of kindness and love
everyday?
How about a drop of reading useful books
today and every day?
How about that drop of a verse of the
scripture today and every day?
How about that drop of prayer today and
every day?
How about a drop of worship today and every
day?
How about a drop of step towards your God-
given dream today and every day?
How about a drop of giving into your
heavenly account?
What virtue and discipline will you start today
in little drops?
Never neglect the importance of a drop, for
when the harvest time comes, you would
have made a big difference.
