Chicken VS. Eagle
Have you ever come across a person with enormous potential to produce greatness but just won’t take a chance and step out of their comfort zone? These people have eagle potential, but the mind of a chicken. They are well equipped to reach maximum levels of success, but have determined within themselves to stay in a safe place of comfort. It’s like they are playing a game of hide and seek. Greatness keeps looking for them, but they hide in their chicken coop. Their mentality keeps them in this coop; it’s a mentality of excuses to remain scratching in the dirt; to remain in mediocrity.
But the almighty eagle’s mentality soars high, going beyond the call of duty. It does not believe in impossibilities. It defies all reason and logic; taking bold risks without the fear of failure. The eagle realizes if it begins to dive all it has to do is open its wings and it will fly; eliminating all blocks to success and willing to go through any test. Each and every day the eagle intentionally says, “I will be among the clouds!”
Let today be the day that you make your confession of faith. Trust in God and allow Him to lead you. Or are you CHICKEN?
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
