Being Who You Are Meant to Be - The Story of an Eagle and the Chickens

There’s an old, well known story of a chicken farmer who found an eagle’s egg.He put it with his chickens and soon the egg hatched.

The young eagle grew up with all the other chickens and whatever they did, the eagle did too.  He thought he was a chicken, just like them. Since the chickens could only fly for a short distance, the eagle also learnt to fly a short distance.

He thought that was what he was supposed to do. So that was all that he thought he could do.  As a consequence, that was all he was able to do. One day the eagle saw a bird flying high above him. He was very impressed. “Who is that?” he asked the hens around him.

“That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” the hens told him. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth, we are just chickens.”

So the eagle lived and died as a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.

I want to encourage you today that you are an eagle.

You may have been brought up in a situation that limited your understanding of your potential, but it’s time now for the past to lose its hold on you.

Don’t die thinking you’re a chicken.

Soar high, just as you were meant to.

Be all that you are meant to be!

The Eagle Leadership Philosophy

7 Principles Of An Eagle – Author: Dr. Myles Monroe


PRINCIPLE 1
Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can got to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens.

Eagles fly with Eagles

PRINCIPLE 2
Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.

Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.

PRINCIPLE 3
Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.

Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in movies and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well.

PRINCIPLE 4
Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift him above the
clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees.

We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.

PRINCIPLE 5
The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her.
Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it
falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle.

The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.

Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership.

PRINCIPLE 6
When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering is complete the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back to get grass it on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest again.

Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare When the scared eaglets again jump into the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly.

The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes; The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success; The being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and live on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns.

The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.

PRINCIPLE 7
When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out.

We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives.

Excerpts From an Interview with a Jewish Leader About Blacks.

INTERVIEWER: Why are blacks so behind Economically?

JEWISH LEADER:The only aspect blacks understand is Consumption. Blacks don't understand the importance of building wealth.

The fundamental rule is to keep your money within your racial group. We build Jewish business, hire Jewish, buy Jewish and spend Jewish.

There is nothing wrong with that but it is a basic rule blacks cannot comprehend and follow;

"He kills his fellow blacks daily instead of wanting to see his fellow black do well" 93% of blacks killed in America are by other blacks.

Their leaders steal from their people and send the money back to their colonial master from whom they borrow the same money from.

Every successful black want to spend his money in the country of his colonial masters.

They go on holiday abroad, buy houses abroad, school abroad etc instead of spending this money in their own country to benefit their people.

Statistics show that the Jew's money exchanges hands 18 times before leaving his community while for blacks it is probably a maximum of once or even zero.

Only 6% of black money goes back into their community. This is why Jews are at the top and blacks are at the bottom of every ladder of society.

Instead of buying Louis Vuitton, Hermes, expensive cars, shoes, houses, dresses etc, blacks could industralize Africa, build banks and get rid of colonial institutions by putting them out of business.

INTERVIEWER:Your thoughts on failure of blacks after 150yrs?

JEWISH LEADER:Well, nothing is ever the blackmans fault. His compulsive habit of killing his own, compulsive material consumption.

His inability to build businesses or preserve wealth are usually somebody else's fault.

INTERVIEWER: So what can blacks do to liberate themselves

JEWISH LEADER: Blacks must take responsibility. Blacks must unite.

And vehemently fight corrupt leaders who run down their country and run to IMF as though IMF is Father Christmas

WHAT A HUSBAND NEEDS FROM A WIFE IS NOT SEX.




Sex is an important element in marriage and until there is sexual intercourse between a husband and a wife, the marriage is not yet spiritually recognised. This shows how important sex is in marriage.When you look at how agressive men are towards sex you may think that what a man needs from a woman is sex.

Of course, if he has not married you yet or he does not really intend to marry you what he will need from you is nothing above your body. But if he really intends to marry you or if
you guys are already married sex is never what he needs from you.

Many young girls think because they are sexually active and experience they will easily be married and have their husbands loving them. And when a man approaches for marriage they think the greatest asset they have to show the man is sex.

Others also think once they are giving out their bodies it means they are giving out the best for which reason they will be chosen above all.

But submission is what men need, not sex. It is time for our young ladies to know that when a man is ready to marry he will not look out for a woman who will satisfy his sex drive but a woman who
will submit herself to him.

Excuse my language,
"every woman has female organs but not every woman has humility." So when you are a humble woman, you are an expensive jewelry. And a man of integrity will fear to lose you.

What does the Bible say, "wife, submit to your husband." The reason is that a man's true love
goes out only for a woman who is submissive.

Sadly, many youngs ladies in our days call submission as "control." And you will hear them
saying in tiny romantic voices, "As for me I don't want any man to control me oh." If you don't want to submit don't think of marriage because no man in his right sense will offer his love to a woman whose heart is higher than his height, no matter how short he may be. When a woman bows her knee before a man, the man will automatically bow his heart before her love. And love her sincerely. It is submission that truly makes you a romantic wife.

So be the African queen you want to be but when it comes to dealing with your husband, play the role of a humble maid. Don't forget that it is the spirit of humility that has caused many maids to hijack their mistresses' husbands. Be your man's queen and be his maid also.I wish you all the best.

Evolution of Marriage – A Tanzania Perspective

Salam wakuu,

Leo nimemkumbuka mwalimu wangu wa somo la siasa enzi hizo kabla ya kubadilishwa na kuitwa uraia. Alikuwa ananiambia katika 'Ndoa' tamaduni mbili zikikutanishwa moja yenye nguvu huimeza iliyodhaifu.

Ili imezwe lazima mmoja aidharau yakwake na kuitukuza ya mwenzie akaniambia wazazi wako na babu zako walishikilia sana tamaduni zao, kuanzia lugha, mila na desturi lakini ninyi mmeanza kuruhusu kumezwa.

Hoja yangu ni ipi haswa.Kwa sasa ndoa zetu zipo mashakani kufikia umri wa ndoa za waliotutangulia hasa wazazi (wenye ndoa) waliishi kwa kuelewa ndoa ililindwa na utamaduni wao wakauenzi

Kwa sasa wanandoa wanaishi nyumba moja kama wako hostel tu na sio familia. Kisa wameruhusu umagharibi kuumeza utamaduni wao.

Mama anadai haki zote za ubaba, na kinyume chake. Hakuna kiwiliwli wote wamekuwa vichwa. Sheria zetu hasa ile ya ndoa ya 1977 nayo bado iliendelea kuegemea kwenye traditional culture. tuna vitu ambavyo hata kama tutaiga umagharibi hatuwezi vipindisha it's norms... mfano: mwanaume haolewi anaoa na ndio mtoa talaka. Hii ina maana gani? Yeye ndio kichwa cha ndoa. Ikitokea akawa Mario ni kosa la kimfumo kichwani mwake.

Siku hizi tuanishi., Ulimwengu wa Kambare kila mtu ana masharubu,mi sishangai sana nnavyoona wanaume tunaoa sio kwa kupenda bali kwa kuridhishwa kwa muda mfupi na vijitabia vya mchumba ili umuoe,na wengi tunaona ufahari sana kutangaza ndoa maana sio mchezo hiyo attention yake ukweni we ndio unakuwa topic+na mchumba ndio kama mlenda na tonge kwa ufupi ndoa siku hizi ni kama hobi tu.Hazina muelekeo wa kimaisha.

Wakati wazee huwa wansaherehekea miaka 50 ya ndoa, siku hizi Utakuta vijana wanasheherekea mwaka mmoja wa ndoa....!

Ndoa za ki Afrika....zimeharibiwa na tamaduni za kigeni na tamthilia.

Kubadilishwa kwa Jando na kuwa Send off(ambazo hazifai).
Upande wa wanaume na wazazi

Yote hayo ni kwa sababu ya kuupoteza utamaduni sasa kama kijana katahiriwa na mama yake kwa nini asiwe marioo? Huwezi kukuta mwanaume alie enda jando na kula kisu bila ganzi akawa marioo

Wanaume wengi nao wamepoteza Sifa za kuwa kichwa cha nyumba. unaishi kwenye nyumba hujui pango ni bei gani, unafungua fridge unatoa beer hujui mke wako ametoa wapi pesa. Hata wife akikwambia anakwenda seminar huna hata nguvu ya kuuliza utakaa muda gani.


Inasikitisha. Tubadilike watanzania. Mmoja mmoja na kama jamii kwa ujumla.

KILIAN'S CALL TO TANZANIAN YOUTH

The Kilian Kamota’s Call to All Tanzanian Youth: Our Turn to Lead the Nation is Now

By Kilian Kamota

The task is ours, the Tanzanian youth, to decide the future and the fate of our Nation. Our fathers, the first generation of leaders, have done their part; they fought political colonialism and afforded us the political independence. The time has come for them to pass on the torch to us, so we can fight for socio-economic independence. We must show up, accept the torch and lead our Nation into new horizons. The future of Tanzania is in our hands – the Tanzanian youth. This is the task we can not ignore; this is the task we can not pass to someone else. It is our task, it is our duty. The question is what are we going to do about it? Are we going to show up for this noble task? Are we going to report for duty? Or are we going to let our Nation stray into wilderness and chaos without leadership? Are we going to decide the fate of our own future or are we going to let few politicians decide our fate and our future?

Our fathers – the first generation of leaders – have grown old. Their actions and leadership can attest to that. The time has come for them to pass on the torch and for us to take the realm. Let us help them retire in peace as we take over the noble task of leading our nation.

Letter to the First Generation of Leaders – Good Bye and Good Luck

On behalf of all Tanzanian youths’, i wish to express sincere gratitude to our fathers – the first generation of leaders – for all the hard work and dedication to our Nation. Your hard work and efforts is truly appreciated, it will not be forgotten and will not perish in vain. We will always cherish all that you were able [and not able] to achieve. And to that end, we want to wish you good health and good luck as you retire in peace. Please take on your new task of advising the new generation and raising grand children at home. Please retire in peace and watch us – your children – take on our new task of leading the Nation. You have educated us enough, you have prepared us enough and now we are telling you that we are ready to lead our Nation and take it into new horizons.

We salute you and bid you farewell – all Tanzanian workers and farmers of the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Kwaherini, enyi viongozi, wakulima na wafanyakazi wote wazee Tanzania, tunawatakia kila la heri na mapumziko mema ya uzeeni!

Letter to the Tanzanian Youth – Please Report for Duty.

Kwenu vijana wote Tanzania – karibuni katika safu mpya ya uongozi wa Tanzania mpya.  Karibuni katika safu mpya ya wakulima na wafanyakazi wa Tanzania mpya.

On behalf of the new Tanzanian generation, I call upon all Tanzanian youths to report to work. Welcome to your new position, welcome to the future. This is not a political movement; it has nothing to do with politics, religion or tribes; it has nothing to do with party or political affiliation.  This is a National movement and  has everything to do with the future of our Nation. Regardless of party or political affiliation, all Tanzanian youth must assume leadership responsibility anywhere they are and start working today to lead our Nation towards new horizon. True leadership has nothing to do with ones level or title in the society. There are many individuals in the world who don’t hold leadership position, yet they are providing leadership all the time, just as there are many others who hold leadership position, and yet they are not providing much leadership at all. let us provide the new leadership that is in dire need to transform our Nation.

Serious time’s calls for serious measures. We must have a sense of urgency and seriousness on the matters dear to our hearts. We must united together and forgo our religion and political affiliation and work together to provide the leadership needed to resuscitate our nation.

How Do We Start the New Task of Leading Our Nation?

By revolutionizing our minds- The time has come for us to acquire a revolution in our mindset. A revolution that will enable us to see things
