reflection of the real you

           “The only real failure in life is the failure to try” (anonymous)

            It’s time to look into the mirror and see the reflection of the real you. See beyond your skin color, gender, height, and facial construction.

            Every great vision in life starts with a vision, a vision that grows into reality. It’s all a state of mind; it all begins from the mind.

            It’s time to break loose, stop being what society says you are and start being what you want to be, who you were born to be, your purpose for existence. Nothing can stop you, only you. You have to chose, remain a sheep, or break loose from the crowd and become a lion.

            It’s time to have a change of mentality, time to let go of public opinion, a time of self realization. You are wonderfully made, take the mask off your face and prove your worth. Don’t be afraid to move, don’t be afraid to flap your wings, even if you fail, don’t be afraid to try again. Try, until you can soar high across the sky. You are an eagle, not a chicken.

“If you don’t know where you are going in this life, people will lead you to where they are going”. (A.C Gab)

I heard of a story talking about a farmer who went to the woods and picked up an eagles egg, he came home to his poultry and kept the egg to be hatched among other eggs of his chickens. The young eagle lived and grew with all the other chickens and always he would come around and check on it. He noticed apparently the difference between this young eagle and all the other chickens, the way they grew, ate, played, and did everything; the eagle was much more powerful.

            One day, while he was there, he heard a loud noise from above, in the sky, it was the mother eagle, and she had spotted her young one.

And the mother eagle began to fly round and round crying out to her son and he heard the voice, looked up above the sky and saw where he belonged, ought to be, and so he began to scream, he was restless and began to run round too. He began to flap his wings and all the chickens ran to hide themselves, they were so frightened that none dared to come out. As the mother eagle continued to go round, calling out, her young son grew angry and impatient; he began flapping his wings even harder, and all of a sudden, he found himself above ground level. All of a sudden, strength, great strength came to his wings, he tried for the first time and failed, he tried again, and again, and again, and again, and all of a sudden, he went to the sky and never came back again.
