Do you know that some eagles do not fly? The story is told of a man who found and eagle’s egg and put it into the nest of a prairie chicken. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle, thinking he was a prairie chicken, did whatever the other chickens did. He scratched the dirt for seeds and insects to eat. He clucked and cackled, and flew in a brief thrashing of wings and flurry of feathers no more than a few feet off the ground. After all, this is how prairie chickens are supposed to fly. Years passed ant the eagle grew old. One day, he saw a magnificent bird far above him in the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind currents, it soared with scarcely a beat of its string golden wings. “What a beautiful bird!” said the eagle to his neighbor. “What is it?”
“That’s an eagle…the chief of birds”, the neighbor clucked. “But don’t give it a second thought. You could never be like him”. Therefore, the eagle never gave it another thought. And it died thinking it was a prairie chicken.
AS A MAN THINKETH SO HE IS.
Basically, all that we need to get to the point where God has destined for us is really in our hands. According to 3 John 1:2 He desires that we may prosper, so really and truly we hold the power. We can choose to be mere survivors on earth or we can thrive for a greater glory. Arise and soar like the eagle.

The Power of Thought
Before you start something you must create the right thought about whatever it is that you want to do. You must align your thoughts with the project ahead of you. It is a law that you must not get involved in anything, whilst harbouring bad feelings within you about the thing, or the person that made the demand on you. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Find joy in the task ahead no matter how daunting it may seem, it is an opportunity for you to expand. If your heart is grieved or it has a bad feeling towards your action it nullifies the effect of what you’re doing and thus amounts to nothing (i.e. work done equals zero).Most human beings are unaware of the power of their thoughts they don’t take into cognisance the effect that the state of their hearts has upon the circumstances that surround them. As a result of this they look to their actions to make everything happen. We agree that action is an important component in the physical world, but it is not through action that you create your physical experience.When you need to perform a task you ought to know that your actions ought to be used to enjoy the experience you want to derive from it and not vice-versa. For starters you must create the thought and the feeling of the joy derived within that experience. Once these two ingredients are fulfilled you have launched the creation of that particular task. Thus, working towards its manifestation in the future ensures that from its joyful creation in your heart that you will be inspired to take the right actions and these actions will be in joy. Actions taken in the present that have not been taken in joy are true to the letter, but such a series of actions will never have a happy ending. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that has a merry heart hath a continual feast. (Proverbs 15:15). For any fixed goal/target that you want to hit you must find joy in its achievement.Pressure and demand are the price paid by performers and as a result those that achieve results have them as constant companions initially this is not a pleasant experience but one that people must learn to handle rightly. In order to discover joy in our hearts over various tasks we must first of all pray. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. (James 5:13)The key to joy in the midst of the situation is ‘the light of the eyes’ (the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart) (Prov 15:30) this light is what God commanded at the beginning of His task of creation when there was only darkness and the earth was without form and void. The entrance of thy words giveth light it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps 119:130) with this understanding the individual now knows the steps he should take. The end product is expansion and increase on every side i.e. when you walk, your steps shall not be hampered (your path will be clear and open) and when you run, you will not stumble. (Prov 4:12).
