An Eagle
Eagles enjoy the longest life expectancy among bird species. They can live up to 70 years.
But in order to survive, they have to make a critical decision at the age of 40. Because at age 40, their wings are heavier due to thick & long feathers, their beaks are growing long & curved almost touching their chest. Their claws weaken and are hard for them to catch preys.
They have 2 Choices: Dying or undergo a painful transformation of 150 days. They have to fly to the top of a rocky mountain. Build their home there and rest.
They have to hit their beaks against the rock till they fall off and wait patiently for the new beaks to grow. They will use their new beaks to pull out their nails. With their newly grown nails, they will then clean off their old feathers. 5 months later, the eagles will fly again with their new feathers.
They renew their strength for another 30 years!
LESSON
Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions in life in order to embark on a new journey. If we put down our old self, "eagerly" pick up new skills, we are
able to explore the undiscovered talents in us
Remember "you cannot be loaded and not be needed""
