Guard Against Subtle Excuses That Laziness Usually Covers Itself Up With

As humans, we have inborn tendencies to do things the ways it should be done and at the right time for them too.  However, there are other feelings that are usually bottled up within us individually making us to do them at our own leisure and not necessarily at the right time for that particular task per say.

What We Are To Learn From The Famous Chiken Tale

Once upon a time, there was a large mountain side, where an eagle’s nest rested. The eagle’s nest contained four large 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

  One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born, however the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed that 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 cried “oh, I wish to soar like those birds up there!” 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, wishing and dreaming that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams be known, he was told that it can’t be done. Sadly, the eagle after some time stopped dreaming and continued to live the life of a chicken and finally, after a long time as a chicken, the eagle passed away. This of course may not be the first time you are hearing the story but is there lessons to be learned from it? Yes! The whole emphasis lies on the need for one not to trade his dreams/aspirations for mediocre. 

You may be passing through some challenging time due to life uncertainties, or it might be that it has all been zig-zag ever since, “I know what I mean.” whichever be the case, do not let that lure you into the life of tag along. If you has been living your life’s well defined dreams but later meet with obstacles or your chosen part seems different from those of others, Remember, (“Ihe onye kporo Nkita ya k’onaza.”) although, it may be pretty difficult for one to keep/maintain his self dignity in trying times, but it certainly worth the efforts. Especially to be wary of in such times, are some well meaning friends, some of whom may pressure you into alternatives that only addresses your short term needs. But to be on safer side as it were, one may tempted to go all the way and with time forgets his desired goal just like the unfortunate eagle chicken.

 Another danger of relying on the so-called sympathizers,  “is that the days of outright help is somehow over, what is common these days are people who want to convert others to their personal use at most.” So don’t consent to creep when you feel an impulse to soar. Be bold enough to create a vivid image in your mind of who you want to be and work against all odds to bring it to reality by acting accordingly.
