Open your wings and catch the wind

One of the areas of focus last night in the evening service at our District Council was the lesson from eagles. It is not a time to fold our wings and lie in the nest but rather a time to go to the edge of the nest, open our wings and catch the wind. It is better to fail trying to fly than to stay in the nest and die. The nest is a good place to be born and a good place to develop but it is also a good place to leave. It is risky and dangerous to go to the edge, but the rewards are bountiful and fulfilling.

There are many areas of life that this lesson applies to. If we are stuck in a rut today, it may be because we have gotten too comfortable with the way things are and we simply need to try new packaging of our product. There may be nothing wrong with the product, it just needs a new box around it. That new box will generate interest from new people. New relationships bring in whole new vantage points, one of which may change your life.
