Have an Eagle Mentality

I read a story about an eagle that was born in a chicken coop and raised with a brood of chickens. For years he packed like a chicken, bawked like a chicken, and eat like a chicken. That’s all he had ever seen. But one day he looked up and saw an eagle soaring in the sky. Something deep inside said, “That’s what you were created to do.” His DNA was calling out to him. But when he looked around, all of his circumstances said, “You’re just a chicken.”
He got his courage up. He told his chicken buddies that he was going to soar like that eagle. They laughed at him and said, “Are you kidding? You can’t soar. You’re just a chicken.”
All he had ever heard was chicken. Chicken had become ingrained in his thinking, but deep down something said, “This is not who I am. I wasn't made to be average, to live in this limited environment. I may be a chicken coop, but I don’t feel like a chicken. I don’t think like a chicken. I don’t look like a chicken. This is not my destiny. I have the DNA of an eagle.”
He started noticing that this wings were not like the chickens’. His were bigger, stronger, and wider. He decided to try to fly. Flapping his wings back and forth as fast as he could, the eagle barely lifted off the ground and crashed into the side of the chicken coop. his chicken friends laughed and said, “We told you. You’re not different from us. You’re wasting your time. You’re a chicken.” He didn't let that failure, not what the others said, not the disappointment talk him out of it. Every day he kept trying, being his best. One day he lifted up out of that chicken coop and began to soar up and up in the sky. With every breath he declared, “This is who I really am. I knew I was an eagle!”

Perhaps you’ve been in a chicken coop way too long. Let me tell you what you already know. You’re not a chicken. You’re an eagle. Don’t let that limited environment rub off on you. Don’t let how you were raised or what somebody said about you keep you from knowing who you really are. Check your spiritual birth certificate. You’ll find you’ve been made in the image of Almighty God. He has crowned you with favour. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. You were never created to be average or mediocre. You were created to soar. Abundance, opportunity, and good breaks are in your DNA. Now, get rid of a chicken mentality and start having an eagle mentality.

LOOK IMPORTANT-IT HELPS YOU THINK IMPORTANT

Remember, your appearance “talks.” Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like a kind of person you want to be. You can usually spot a wrong kids just by the way he looks. Sure it’s unfair, but it’s a fact: people today judge a young star by appearance. And once they’ve tabbled a boy, it’s tough to change their minds about him, their attitude toward him. Look at your boy. Look at him through his teacher’s eyes, your neighbor eyes, could the way he looks, the clothes he wears, give them the wrong impression? Are you making sure he looks right. Dresses right, everywhere he goes. It cost little to be neat. Dress right, it always pays. Remember: look important because it helps you think important and also it’s help you to think big. Use clothing as tool to lift your spirits, build confidence. An old psychology professor of mine used to give this advice to students on last-minute preparations for final examination: “Dress up fo...

God is about to visit you

Maybe you are tempted to give up on a dream. Things haven’t turned out the way you planned. It was going fine at first, but then you had some obstacles and you think, it just wasn’t meant to be. Here is what I have learned. The enemy doesn’t try to stop you from starting. He has seen a lot of people start. That doesn’t bother him. But when you have a made-up mind and keep pushing forward, doing the right thing, taking new ground, when he sees you getting closer, he will work overtime even he will employ a lot of people to join him try to keep you from finishing. Don’t get discouraged when you have setbacks, people come against you, or you get a negative medical report. That’s a sign that you are moving toward your finish line. When you have a setback always believe in yourself and keep focusing because the best is ahead of you. The enemy was fine when you got started. He was fine when you were far from finishing. No big deal to him. But when you began to make progress that got h...

Your blessing will come to you at the right time

  What God has planned for you is much bigger than anything you’ve ever dreamed. Of God were to show you right now where He’s taking you the favor, the promotion, the influence it would boggle your mind. You may think, as I did, that you’re not the most qualified. You don’t have the personality or the talent. That’s okay. it’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, or your hard work. It’s going to happen because of the commanded blessing on your life. God’s anointing on you is more important than your talent, your education, or what family you come from. You could have less talent, but with the favor of God, you will go further than people who have much more talent. You may not see how this can happen. It doesn’t seem possible. But you don’t have to figure it out. If you’ll just keep being your best right where you are, getting to work on time, doing more than you have to, being a person of excellence and integrity, the right people will find you and the...
