Stop making new year resolutions; make a new life resolution
One of my favourite story is about a man. This man is walking down a path then finds an egg (An Eagles egg). He takes this egg and put it into the nest of a backyard hen. Soon, the eagle hatches with the chicks and grows up with them.
All it's life, that Eagle did what the Chickens did. It would poke around in the dirt looking for what to eat. It would fly into the air like the Chicken would do, it'd would cluck around.
As time passed, the eagle grew very old. One day, it saw birds flying above it; the birds glided gracefully and majestically through the clouds.
The Eagle wondered what the flying bird was...Oh! That looks like me it thought.
One Chicken responds...Oh! He is the king of all birds, the master of the skies. But we belong to the ground because we just are Chickens.
Don't worry about him, you would never be that.
That Eagle lived and died a Chicken.
EAGLES DON'T TAKE FLIGHT LESSONS FROM CHICKENS
This new year is a time to take a flight.
How long do you want to continue being a Chicken when you are meant to be an Eagle?.
How long do you want to continue portraying that character?
Character is the ability to carry out a resolution long after the excitement of the moment it has passed.
The greatest tragedy is not that people aim too high and miss; rather, people aim too low and hit
It is the cave that you fear that would holds the treasure that you desire.
Forget a new year resolution, make a new life resolution
It is time to go from Mediocre to Meteoric
It is time to go from being counted out to been counted on.
It is time to fly like the Eagle you are and not Cluck like a Chicken you aren't.
ICARUS's STORY
Icarus is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris, asking that he fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned.
There is more to the story as Icarius's Father also cautioned him against flying too low.
He said 'Don't fly too low' or your weight will cause you to plummet on water.
All successful people;men and women alike are dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
The much anticipated '2018' is here already. New and fresh with 12 chapters and 365 opportunities to get it right. It's another great opportunity for a fresh start.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Nobody is successful alone
It is important to build healthy, supportive and inspiring relationships.
The most significant factor in any person's life is the people
Do you know that if you rightly choose the kind of people in your life, you would have increased your chances of success by 10%.
Be open for once, change your thinking, learn about what seems to be difficult and dare it! You'd be surprise how much you can achieve.
When something bad happens to you, you have three choices; Let it define you, Let it destroy you. Let it strengthen you
Past is a waste paper, present is a newspaper. Past is a question paper.
Come put off your past, control the present and secure the future
It is easier to trade opinion for poverty than to risk $1 for wealth
Today I will do what others won't ,
So that tomorrow I can Accomplish what others can't.
