A Life Lesson from the Eagle Some years ago I learned a life lesson that I have never forgetten. I will try to summarize this story for you. Eagles are birds that can live until their 70. When they are in their 40 they will have long and flexible talons consequently they won't be able to catch a prey, the spout will be curved and the wings will be pointing to the chest. at the time eagles have make a choice: They can choose the death or they will go through a painful process of renewal. if they choose death, they go to the top of a mountain and pierce their hearts with their own beaks. However if the choose the process of renewal they will go to the top of a mountain and they will rip their beaks out. With the new beak they will rip the talon out and after the new talon grow they will rip the feathers out of the wings. After this long and hurtful process then can live more 30 years . We are like eagles. we need to go through a process of renewal by changing our habits and they way we think thus better things will replace the old things.
