Once upon a time a man found an eagle’s egg and placed it under a brooding hen.

The eaglet hatched with the chickens and grew to be like them.

She clucked and cackled; scratched the earth for worms; flapped her wings and managed to a few feet in the air.

Years passed.

One day, the eagle, now grown old, saw a magnificent bird above her in the sky. It glided in graceful majesty against the powerful wind, with scarcely a movement of its golden wings.

Spellbound, the eagle asked, “Who is that?“

“That’s the king of the birds, the eagle, “said her friend, a chicken. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to earth—we are chickens.”

So the eagle who thought that she was a chicken lived as a chicken for the rest of her life, because that’s what she thought she was.

She never found her true worth, she never reached her full potential or lived the life that she was designed for.’

We can't change the past but we can write our own future. If we find out that the past led us wrong, we can change what life that we have left, and we can live the life that we were intended to live.

We can break away from the negatives and be the wonder that we were created to be. To do this we need imagination, hope, belief and a good sprinkling of courage.
