Are you a chicken, pigeon, or eagle?
Look around you and look at yourself. Are you a chicken, pigeon, or eagle? All
three are birds, but are dramatically different. All three have wings, but with different
capabilities.
A chicken has wings,
but does not fly. Honestly, chickens
primary roles in the world are to produce eggs and to be eaten. Generally, you
find them locked in a pen and they must be fed. And when they walk, they are
constantly moving their head back and forth, cackling. I have known humans with
these traits. It may be someone in your office! They are always going around
gossiping or complaining. You must keep them busy or they will make their way
into everyone else’s business.
Generally, they need a farmer (leader) to keep their job, protected, or
used. Otherwise, they will not work or a wolf (competitor) will eat them alive.
They have no desire to be promoted or be in charge of anything. If you give them their check (chicken feed)
and keep them busy; they will produce and be happy. Just don’t ask them to fly!!
A pigeon has wings and can fly. Pigeons have been used to
carry messages in history. You rarely
find one pigeon alone. Pigeons can easily be persuaded to leave one area for
another if there is someone throwing out some seeds, but their waste is very
toxic. Generally, you see pigeons in
very public places. Are you a pigeon or know one? They must be part of a
special group or “click”. They must be part of the center of attention. The pigeon people are always changing jobs,
companies, or careers because of the offer of more money. Also, they leave
behind very toxic waste. After they leave,
the office has to be reorganized. The
division has to be shut down. The choir is no longer on one accord. Quality people are forced to leave. As
long as they were getting the attention and being constantly rewarded; it’s all
good! Don’t be around them when they stop getting attention and it’s time for
them express their unhappiness (dispose of their waste)!
An eagle is a very special bird and in fact very rare in
places. Eagles have wings, but they don’t fly; they soar!! Eagles are a display
of leadership and strength. No matter
where you take an eagle, they are always looking to make their nest at the
highest of heights. Storms (problems)
only serve to lift the eagle higher. Eagles do not travel in groups. Eagles do
not eat dead stuff. You probably see where I am going. Are you an eagle or know
an eagle? They do not belief in being
involved with negative people or participating in unproductive activities. They
are constantly setting their sights on something greater or higher. They
embrace the challenges of life with a confidence that constantly allows them to
rise about it.
