FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
Imagine an eagle trying to fly while its legs are tied to a five hundred pound weight. No matter how hard it flaps its wings, it can not leave the ground.
Eagles are not meant to carry burdens, and neither are you.
I once read an account of how someone captured a seabird using pebbles and bread dough. The person put heavy pebbles inside wads of bread dough, and then tossed them to a bird which swallowed them whole. The bird’s weight progressively increased until it was too heavy to fly. It would never soar again until it eliminated the pebbles. It lost its ability to fly one mouthful at a time.
That is exactly the way negative thoughts keep me from soaring.
I ingest them one at a time until the burden grows so heavy that I can no longer get off the ground. Negative thoughts keep me grounded until I eliminate them.
Each negative thought weighs a psychological ton and carrying around a load of negativity is an unbearable burden.
God gave me the heart and wings of an eagle. When I see an eagle in flight, I see my life as it was meant to be. I will not allow myself to be grounded by the dead weight of negativity and limitations. I will fly like an eagle.
