One day a man found an egg on the road and decided to put it together with the chickens and their eggs. The egg hatched and a strange chicken was born. He was rejected by the chickens because he was different. With time he started to grow big and his wings grew bigger too. The man discovered that the unusual bird was an eagle, but decided to change his destiny and teach the eagle to live like a chicken.

So the eagle was living with chickens, feeling like he didn’t quite fit in with them. But when he tried to fly, his wings weren’t working. His wings had been clipped, because the man caring for him didn’t want him to fly away.

The eagle continued trying to learn how to fly. He decided not to live with the feeling of rejection. He embraced his uniqueness that was about flying and being aware of his surroundings. When he had an opportunity he decided to practice trying to fly. But he didn’t have the support of anyone, especially the person who cared for him. The chickens were jealous because of the eagle’s behaviour. But he never gave up. One day, the man saw how hard the eagle was working, and assured the eagle that he would leave him outside of the chicken house and let his wings grow again.

Finally, one day the eagle was able to fly, and everyone was surprised at how persistent he was. When he flew and felt his chest full of air, his wings started to be stronger and he flew higher. His eyes changed color because of the sun. He felt free and happy. Never again would he come back to live like a chicken. Now he would always be in the skies and the chickens forever would desire to be like an eagle.

Sometimes in life people live like chickens, holding back, and never moving toward a better life. We need to know our strengths and weaknesses, and create boundaries to protect ourselves. Surround yourself with people who will help you to grow and show you the truth. Always be ready to change. Being true to yourself keeps you going and you will be able to achieve your dreams and be free like an eagle.

Don’t stay close to negative people, and those who don’t have dreams. It will not help you to grow in life. You will find people in your life who are like chickens, pigs. snakes, and lions. You are the one who can change your history. Be yourself, accept your limitations, and never stop working on your dreams. Everyone has the right to be happy and be who they want to be.
