An eagle’s egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken. The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken.

  

The eagle did what the prairie chickens did. 

 

It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and cackled. It never flew more than a few feet because that is what the prairie chickens did. 

  

One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and majestically in the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens: 

  

“What is that beautiful bird?” The chickens replied, “That is an eagle.He is an outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him because you are just a prairie chicken.” 

 

So the eagle never gave it a second thought, believing that to be the truth. He lived the life of and died a prairie chicken, depriving himself of his heritage because of his lack of vision. 

  

What a waste! He was born to win, but was conditioned to lose. 

  

Do not let people or situations or even yourself, condition you to lose in life.
