Why We Need To Change!!!

It has been really long since I posted something here.I read this lovely forward which I am sure any one who reads will appreciate too.We spend major part of our lives trying to change people.....Read on....
The eagle has the longest life span among birds
It can live upto 70 years
But to reach this age the eagle has to take a hard descision

In its 40's
It's long and flexible talons can no longer grab a prey which serves as food
It's long beak becomes bent
It's wings becomes heavy due to its thick feathers and makes it difficult to fly.
Then the eagle is left with 2 options
1. Die
2. Go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days

The change process requires that the eagle to fly to a mountain and knock it's beak against the rock until it plucks out

After the beak is plucked it will wait for a new beak. Then it will pluck out its talons. When the new talons grow, the eagle will start plucking its old feathers

Very soon the new feathers also grow. With this change the eagle can stay for more 30 years.

WHY IS CHANGE NEEDED?
Many times in order to survive we have to start a change process.
We sometimes have to get rid of old memories, habits and past traditions
Only when freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.
It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.
Let’s change to make a change!!!

When it rains, most birds head for shelter;
the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the cloud. ...

Jai Guru Dev!!!
