NEW YEAR, NEW M...STOP

one of my favorite stories is about a man now this man is walking down a path and finds an egg an eagle's egg he takes this egg and puts it into the nest of a backyard him pretty soon the Eagle hatches with the chicks and grows up with them now all his life that Eagle did what the chickens then he would poke around in the dirt looking for worms and insects to eat he would fly a few feet into the air like chickens do he cluck around this time pass that ego he grew very old and one day saw something above him this staying it it glided gracefully and majestically through the clouds what's that the Eagle says oh that that's an eagle one chicken response he is the king of all birds the master of the skies but we belong to the ground because we are just chickens don't worry about him you will never be then and that Eagle lived and died a chicken because that is what he thought he was this new year it's time to take flight you and me both know that you don't belong where you are right now you don't belong with some of the people you're around right now you got no business doing what you're doing right now you're being a chicken when you were born an eagle so now the question is how long is it gonna take to make the decision to make the shift and show some courage show some character let me tell where characters funny you know character is the ability to carry out a resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed I'm gonna say that again because some of y'all might have missed it character is the ability to carry out a resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed are you gonna say you want to wanna do something do it for two weeks and then quit like you did last year like you did the year before last you say you want to lose weight get in shape get your business off the ground get closer to God and then turn around and party get lit drink alcohol eat like crap and continue to live below who you were created to be thereby committing the greatest sin known to man no no no no no no I'm not I'm not religious but I'm gonna take you to church watch this see the word sin once they see the word sin comes from the Greek word sin used in archery it means to miss your mark the greatest sin in life is to miss your mark to not be who you were created to be to be a chicken instead of an eagle I don't know if you guys remember growing up the story of Icarus you know a lot of people remember the Icarus being this guy who he had to the wings made out of wax his father cautioned him not to fly too high or the Sun will melt your wings and what happened it was Icarus his arrogance that caused him to fly too high Sun melted his wings and boom fell to the earth dead but that's not the full story no no no you you didn't know there was more to it see Icarus his father also cautioned him against flying too low he said don't fly too close to the sea or your weight will cause you to plummet into the water see we all know not to be too arrogant throughout most of us but how many of us know not to be too humble to meet too timid too shy too safe it is said that the greatest tragedy in life is not that people aim too high and miss it is that people aim too low and hit I see a lot of people on Facebook now everywhere Instagram I'm talking about the friendzone ha laughs hee hee he's in the friendzone look at the hover hand but I don't see too many people making jokes about the other zone the comfort zone ain't no memes about that ain't no jokes you know why because a lot of y'all in there well in this new year let's step out of our comfort zone fortune favors the bold and it is the cave that you fear the cave that you fear that will hold the treasure that you desire forget a new year's resolution forget it let's make a new life resolution to be fully and authentically you I don't know what dream you have but I can guarantee you there's somebody in the hospital right now playing begging God to have the opportunity that you have right now don't blow it it is time it is time to go from mediocre to meteoric it is time to go from being counted out to being counted on it is time to fly the evil you are oh do you want to continue to cluck with the chickens [Music]
