Accept who you are
A penguin was standing on the water’s edge when he
looked up at an eagle soaring high above his head.
He watched him with great admiration for a few moments
and then looked down at his own flippers with frustration.
“That looks so cool, I wish I could fly in the air
like an eagle,” he thought to himself before accepting reality; sliding into
the sea and swimming away.
The eagle looked down and saw the penguin swimming gracefully in the water. He watched him with similar admiration for a few moments and looked across at his own wings, wondering if they would work under water.
“That’s so cool, I wish I could fly in the water like
a penguin,” he thought to himself, before accepting reality; catching another
up draft and effortlessly soaring away into the distance.
A penguin is a penguin for a reason and it is
remarkably good at what it was created for. An eagle is an eagle for a reason
and it is remarkably good at what it was created for. And you are you for a
reason and have the capacity to become remarkably good at what you were created
for. The sooner you accept this, the happier and more successful you will be!
