Story of the Day #2 | Of The Day

Life Story of Eagle 


The Story of the Eagle...
The eagle has the longest life-span among Birds
It can live up to 70 years
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
In it's 40:
Its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food
Its long and sharp beak becomes bent
Its old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers,
become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly
Then, the eagle is left with only two options:
die or go through painful process of change which lasts 150 days
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest
There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks it out
After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and
then it pluck out its talons
When its new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old-aged feathers
And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for …
30 more years 

Why is challenge needed? Many times, in order to survive we have to start a change process. We sometimes get rid of old memories, habits and other past traditions. Only freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.
