This is the most impactful decision you will ever make in your life.
On average, eagles live to age 30, but can live double that amount of time.
Claims suggest by age 30, the eagle's survival is hampered because its claws/talons lose flexibility and can't properly grip prey. Their beak becomes dull & bent, its wing feathers start sticking to its chest, which impedes flying.
To live longer, they must make a decision.
The decision to rebirth themselves.
No matter how uncomfortable it may be, the eagle must decide, in order to live into the later years of its life, it must evolve.
The eagle has a choice —
Do you want to live?
Or, do you want to die?
The Rebirth
The rebirthing process of undergoing change is believed to take upwards of 150 days.
If the eagle makes the decision to survive & thrive, it flies to a mountaintop nest, away from everything it has ever known — complete isolation.
Where it supposedly knocks off its beak by banging it against a rock, rips out its talons, & then plucks out its feathers.
After this grueling & what would likely be a very painful process for the eagle —
Now, the eagle is “re-birthed” & can live for another 30-40+ years
The Power of Pain
The decision to evolve can be painful — not so much physically, but more so mentally.
The pain does not derive from the eagle smashing its beak, tearing off their own claws or painfully plucking out their own feathers, in order to soar & hunt.
The decision to isolate oneself.
Away from everything you’ve ever known.
It is comfortable to stay where you are.
It is comfortable to surround yourself with those whom do not challenge you.
It is comfortable to keep making the same decisions you’ve always made.
It is uncomfortable to face yourself.
It is uncomfortable to break your negative thoughts.
It is uncomfortable to rip out what no longer serves you.
It is uncomfortable to shed the dead weight feathers of burdens.
No matter your age or circumstances, you have the decision to rebirth.
Are you willing to endure the pain?
Not just to survive, but thrive.
Or, be like most, and do it All For Nothing.
Solitary Confinement
This is a painful process for those incarcerated. Psychiatrist, have observed the devastating mental health consequences of the practice.
People don’t lose their physical body — they lose their mind.
Although these psychiatrist may be correct in their observations of those battling negative mental health side effects in the penitentiary.
These psychiatrist are professional theorists, not practitioners.
I do not believe this to be true in real life.
This mental pain provides power.
Evolving to have the power of your decisions, will lead you to your freedom.
What are you willing to do in the dark?
Because what you do in the dark will always come to light.
In the final judgment, we each will answer for our own lives. “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow,” Paul says (6:7)
Our way of life will have its natural consequences.
If we “sow to the flesh,” led by self-seeking desires, we will reap the only thing the flesh can produce—corruption.
