3. Transformation

An eagle when it gets older its feathers are so dirty and hard that they close on its chest. Her beak is already weakened and so are her nails, she needs to make a decision, either leave everything as it is and die or start the transformation.

She then starts at the beak, bangs the beak on a rock until it breaks, and waits for a new one to hatch. As soon as the beak is born she starts pulling out her nails one by one, and as soon as the nails are born she removes the feathers that are already too dirty and making life difficult.

Let us be like the eagle, transformation can hurt and sometimes a lot, but it is always necessary.

Have the courage to change! Change everything that is not good in your life and it doesn’t matter what moment in life you are in, whenever there is a need to change. From home, from work, from relationships, from relationships, don’t accept out of cowardice what you don’t like.

Keeping patience is winning the game many times over.
