Once a farmer found an abandoned eagle's nest and in it was an egg, still warm. He took the egg back to his farm and laid it in the nest of one of his hens. The egg hatched and the baby eagle grew up along with the other chickens. It pecked about the farmyard, scrabbling for grain. It spent its life within the yard and rarely looked up. When it was very old, one day it lifted up its head and saw above it a wonderful sight - an eagle soaring high above in the sky. Looking at it, the old creature sighed and said to itself, "If only I'd been born an eagle". (An adaptation from an Anthony de Mello story)

We are what we think we are ?

Yes...and just because some other people have placed limits on us by telling us that people like us can't or shouldn't or mustn't do more than those around us doesn't mean we have to accept their opinion. For exampe, Einstein's parents thought he might be mentally retarded because he didn't begin to speak well until the age of nine, and teachers told Thomas Edison's mother that he was 'unteachable'. What if Helen Keller had simply been institutionalized like so many of her peers with similar handicaps? We might have never known all her great quotes and books she wrote (with assistance from her tutors).

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

It's sort of like that expression, "You can't soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys," or in the above case, chickens.

A person is only limted by their negative or irrational thoughts. A person has to be self aware of oneself and their needs to truely know and love themselves. A person needs to know who they are and what they can do. Set the goals for the moutains even if you do not make it to the top at least you got out of the valley. Forward motion is progress. Thank you for sharing your insight.

The eagel only accepted what was given to him. Like society only accepting what was told to you and not listening to ones inner strenghth and taking a chance on life.
