THE EAGLE AND THE PARROT

A proud parrot approached an eagle, and said to him.

"I can fly high over the tallest trees in the world. How high can you fly?"

The eagle said.

"Well, I'm not really a good flyer, so I can barely reach the tallest trees"

The parrot burst out laughing.

"Oh, what a shame... I can't believe that I fly higher than most birds in the kingdom. I'm so blessed" he bragged.

"You're really blessed" the eagle uttered.

The following day, the parrot approached the eagle again and said to him.

"How about if I teach you how to fly high, so you can reach the tallest trees just like me?"

"That would be awesome. Please do" the eagle whistled.

Then the eagle went along with the parrot and they both started flying while the parrot demonstrated. But the parrot was completely astonished when the eagle flew and flew with strength, so high until he was invincible. The parrot couldn't believe his eyes.

When the eagle finally landed, the parrot, filled with remorse and shame, asked.

"You're a genius. Why didn't you tell me all along?"

The eagle smiled, then said.

"That's the difference between an eagle and a parrot. I'm an eagle and I don't talk much. I don't brag, I only know my worth and I believe in it. I am known for my power and ability to fly at high altitudes in the sky. Are you surprised? Well, I am the only bird that will fly above the storm clouds... When other birds find shelter during the rain, I avoid the rain by flying above the clouds. I can travel extremely high up to where the air is much thinner, then I move more oxygen through my body by pushing more blood into my bloodstream with every beat of my heart"

Moral of the Story:

Don't be a talkative parrot that brags a lot. Be humble and silent like the eagle. Don't waste your time proving your worth to anyone. The time will prove you, what you are and what you can be.

DO MORE AND TALK LESS👌

GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤️

A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. The deadliest snake that lives around. The sheep's face was swollen and hurt like crazy, but the old rattle did not know the type of blood that runs in the sheep.

The antidote is usually made from sheep's blood. The sheep was swollen for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the serpent's venom. I was worried, but the sheep didn't care. He kept eating, he kept drinking, and he kept walking because he knew he was fine.

Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just be sure that the Lamb's Blood flows through your veins.

Six Leadership Principles that we can learn from an Eagle

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.

2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.

MEANING; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.

3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.

MEANING; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.

4. Eagles Love the Storm.
When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.

MEANING; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.

5. Eagles Prepare for Training;
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies/ when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest./

MEANING; Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.

6. When the Eagle Grows Old,
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.

MEANING; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go of.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD ❤️👍

THOUGHT FOR TODAY IS----The only bird 🦅 that dares to attack an eagle 🦅 is the raven. It sits on its back and pecks its neck. The eagle does not answer and does not fight. It does not waste time and energy on him. It just opens its wings and starts flying as high as possible. And the higher it rises, the harder it is for the raven to breathe… and in the end, it falls due to lack of oxygen. Moral lesson: Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t profit you. Have a Bless Day
