Two Stories....
The Chicken
Once
upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle's nest
rested. The eagle's nest contained four large eagle eggs. One day an
earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the
mountain, to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The chickens
knew that they must protect and care for the eagle's egg, so an old hen
volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg. One
day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however,
the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was
nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, but
his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one
day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty
eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could
soar like those birds." The chickens roared with laughter, "You cannot
soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar." The
eagle continued staring, at his real family up above, dreaming that he
could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams be known,
he was told it couldn't be done. That is what the eagle learned to
believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live
his life like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the
eagle passed away.
The
moral of the story: You become what you believe you are; so if you ever
dream to become an eagle follow your dreams, not the words of a chicken.
The Mental Chain,
Most
people are like the circus elephant. Have you ever seen a giant
elephant in an indoor arena tied to a little wooden stake. That huge
creature can pick up two thousand pounds with its trunk, yet it calmly
stays tied. Why? When
that elephant was just a baby, and not very strong, it was tied by a
huge chain to an iron stake that could not be moved. Regardless of how
hard it tried, it could not break the chain and run free. After it a
while it just gave up. Later, when it is strong, it never attempts to
break free. The "imprint" is permanent. "I can't! I can't!' it says. There
are millions of people who behave like this creature of the circus.
They have been bound, tied and told "You'll never make it," so many
times they finally call it quits. The may have dreams, but the
"imprinting" keeps pulling them back.
Today, eliminate the source of your limitations. When you mentally break free, the boundaries will be removed from your future.
