Leaders are Eagles
Eagles symbolize strength and courage ๐ช๐ฝ
A man found an eagleโs egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them.
All his life, the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken.
He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air. Years passed, and the eagle grew very old.
One day, he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat on his strong golden wings.
The old eagle looked up in awe. โWhoโs that?โ he asked.
โThatโs the eagle, the king of the birds,โ said his neighbor. โHe belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth โ weโre chickens.โ
So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for thatโs what he thought he was.

Moral of the Story: Stop wasting time around people who do not support and/or nurture your dreams.
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on an amazing season and winning the Super Bowl ๐ Because, the Philadelphia Eagles are not chickens.
