Inspirational Stories - We Are All Born Eagles

One day a farmer found an eagle’s egg and brought it home. He placed the eagle’s egg together with some chicken eggs to be hatched. The little eagle was hatched together with the other chicks. The little eagle started his life and followed the mother hen. He behaves just like the other chicks. He followed the ways of the chicken. He moved and walked like all the other chickens.

One day when the little eagle was wandering aroung with the other chicks, an adult eagle flying nearby saw him. The big eagle flew down trying to talk to the little eagle. All the chickens were terrified and fled. The big eagle stopped the little eagle and asked, “What are you doing with the chickens? You are an eagle just like me. You can fly like me and your home is high up the cliffs”.

The little eagle was confused and said, “I can’t fly like you, I am a chickens”. The big eagle said, “Yes, you can and I am going to teach you how to fly”. He then grabbed the little eagle in its claws and brought him to a cliff. The little eagle spent few days learning how to fly from the big eagle. Initially, he fell many times but finally able to spread his wings and took off to the sky. The young eagle discovered that he could indeed fly. He finally discovered his true self and behaved like an eagle. He never went back to those chickens again.

We are all born “eagles” and are able to soar high into the sky. We all have a higher potential within us and we should realize it. Sometimes, what we need is just a little guidance from others who are already successful.
