All the lessons of life are reflected in Nature. We see but don’t observe, we see, but don’t relate. Take for example, Eagles. Here is one great lesson we can learn from Eagles about change.

The eagle has the longest life-span of its species. It can live up to 70 years.

However, in its forties, its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food. Its long and sharp beak becomes bent. Its aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly.

The eagle is then left with two options: die, or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.

The process requires that the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it drops off. After that, it will wait for a new beak to grow back. With the new beak, it will pluck out its talons. When the new talons grow back, the eagle will start plucking its aged feathers.

And after five months, the eagle will take its famous flight of re-birth and live for thirty more years.

Moral of the story:
This parable illustrates the importance of change. Many times, in order to survive we have to undergo a process of change. We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and other past traditions. Only when we are free from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.

We must not be afraid of change. In fact, we have to bravely embrace change, or we will remain stagnant and make no progress. Without change, there would be no growth, no progress, no improvement in our lives.

Change is a law of life. In the case of the eagle, change is a matter of life and death.
