EAGLE Can Live Up To 70 Years, But To Reach This Age, The Eagle Must Make A Hard Decision In Its' 40'S
Its' Long & Flexible Talons Can No Longer Grab Prey Which Serves As Food, Its' Long & Sharp Beak Becomes Bent
Its' Old-Aged & Heavy Wings, Due To Their Thick Feathers, Become Stuck To Its' Chest & Make It Difficult To Fly
Then Eagle Is Left With Only 2 Options: Die Or Go Through A Painful Process Of Change Which Lasts 150 Days.
The Process Requires That Eagle Fly To A Mountain & The Eagle Knocks Its' Beak Against A Rock Until It Plucks It Out
After This, Eagle Will Wait For A New Beak To Grow Back. When Its' New Talons Grow Back, The Eagle Starts Plucking Its' Old-Aged Feathers & After 5 Months, Eagle Can Take Its' Flight Of Rebirth & Lives For 30 More Years
Moral of the Story

At times we feel like we are redundant , doing the same thing over and over again be it at work and in life generally. Think of what you can do differently to give you an edge in you professional career - take a course, attend a productive workshop, learn a new skill or learn a new thing about the skill you already have - do something different today that will positively change your future.... The only constant in life is change, we must be careful not to be left behind by the speed of change going on around us...Break that beak of procrastination, shed the feather of laziness and TAKE THE FLIGHT OF REBIRTH! Have a pleasant day.
