In this episode of It's My Turn, Don Wildmon takes us on a journey through a thought-provoking fable about an eagle and a chicken. This seemingly simple story carries profound lessons about the choices we make in life, particularly when it comes to balancing freedom and security.
The fable begins with an eagle and a chicken who are the best of friends. They do everything together, including flying through the skies. One day, they decide to land and get a bite to eat. They meet a cow who generously offers them corn, explaining that Farmer M provides all the food they need without any effort on their part.
This revelation shocks the eagle and the chicken, who are used to fending for themselves. The chicken is enticed by the idea of free food and shelter and decides to stay with the cow. The eagle, however, values his freedom and the challenges of finding his own food and shelter. He decides to continue his life of independence, soaring high and free.
You might guess how it ends up.
Bro. Don's story serves as a powerful reminder that the easy path is not always the best one, and that true freedom often requires effort and resilience.
Whether you're facing a major life decision or simply seeking inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights.
