1. The Last Moments of an Eagle’s Age

The Red Skin tribes tell an amazing story of an eagle. When an eagle enters its final stage of life, its talons become so long and hard that it is no longer possible to catch prey.

2. Weak beak , Heavy Feathers

Its beak becomes long, curved, and blunt. The feathers are so thick and old that it becomes difficult to fly. Thus, the eagle stands at a decisive juncture.

3. Life or Death – A Decision

It has two paths before it: either it dies… or it undergoes great suffering and reinvents itself.

4. The Process of Change

The eagle goes to the top of a high mountain. There, it breaks its beak by hitting it with rocks so that a new beak emerges. When the new beak emerges, it removes its old talons from it so that new talons can grow.

5. The stages of patience

Then it plucks out it's old, heavy feathers one by one. This entire stage lasts about 150 days, or 5 months. But after that, the same eagle is able to fly with a new strength.

6. New life – another 30 years

After completing this hard and painful stage, the eagle comes back to life. It lives for another 30 years with a new life.

7. Conclusion – Either change, or die

To survive, to move forward, we too have to make changes in our lives. We have to give up some old, beloved but harmful habits. We have to suffer. We have to leave the past, bad memories, habits behind. We have to be reborn with a new mindset.

The final message:-
In life, you either have to change… or die. The decision is in your hands!
