Matshona DhliwayoDon’t miss the opportunity to fly with eagles tomorrow because chickens invited you to run with them today.
About This Quote
I have always been a passionate fan of Nelson Mandela, but this quote is one of my favorites. It really sums up his message on the importance of persistence and finding meaning in the small things in life. In this quote, he is talking about how we should not spend our time being afraid that we will run into danger if we do not run with the eagles. He tells us that if we hold back, we are missing an opportunity to fly with eagles.
When he says “chickens” he is referring to people or situations that hold us back or are not willing to help us fly with eagles. The fact that people are not willing to help us fly with eagles can be frustrating at times, but you must keep moving forward because there will be other opportunities to fly with eagles later.
