The flight of the eagle or the courage to face the changes
In most cases we are reluctant to change because the unknown creates panic, because it means that we must change our behavior, way of being and even thinking. Let's be honest: we don't like to change. And especially when we believe that we have reached an age in which we cannot afford to alter our personality. At that moment we say: "I'm like this and I've always been like this", or "Old parrot doesn't learn to talk", or the famous saying: "it's better to be a bad person known than a good person to know". Phrases in which we hide and in which hides a deep fear of the unknown or that we have not lived.
This fear is common in human beings and each of us has experienced it at some time. Some have dared to face the changes; others have simply let fear paralyze them and have remained in the same place, with the same people, with the same thoughts, all their lives. It's like when you cross the street and a car comes towards you and you stand in the middle of the road, inert, unable to move. You want to run, remove yourself from danger, but the same threat intimidates you.
One of the reasons fear invades us is because we lose control of the situation. On one occasion, I remember listening to my grandmother, an old woman who is blind, who didn't want to be taken out of her house because she knew where everything was there and not in the other houses. For my grandmother the house was her comfort zone. Just as the house is for my grandmother, it can also be for other people, work, a couple relationship, the country where they live, a comfort zone where they do not dare to leave for fear of the unknown.
This fear of change also arises because we refuse to make mistakes. We have the mistaken idea that as adults we can not make mistakes, so we avoid things that we do not know, in this way there is less chance of failing. We build a personality adapted to what our closest environment expects from us, an area that we do not want or allow ourselves to leave. As we get older we are more resistant to change. If we see young people, for example, they are more daring and change aspects of their lives, as television channels change. Could it be that over time we lose strength, inspiration or rebellion?
There is a famous text that talks about the painful process of transformation that an eagle must go through in order to continue living. Not only must he change space and find one where he is alone, but he must tear off his beak, feathers and claws in order to get a few more years of life. This heartbreaking process has the function of making the eagle stronger, more imposing. I don't know if you've noticed, but there is a process of growth in pain: as it molts its plumage and transforms its beak and claws, the eagle will be different. In our lives, many times we have to take shelter for some time, get out of that comfort zone in which we are and begin a process of renewal to continue a higher and freer flight. In order to do this, we sometimes have to detach ourselves, in a painful way, from customs, feelings, thoughts that do not allow us to grow, to advance and keep us stopped looking at life from below or as I said before: in the middle of the road without being able to react.
As I write about heights, I think of another eagle story. The story says that one day an Indian warrior found an egg in a mountain and took it to his village and laid it among the chicken's eggs. As time passed, the chicks hatched and so did the eagle. With the days, the eagle would cackling, eating worms and corn, and digging up the earth. The eagle grew, lived, and died like a hen, not like an eagle. And sometimes that's where the problem lies. We are raised in a way and we are not able to see our own nature or go beyond the things they impose on us. The fear of change, of seeing upwards, of being different from what we are told we are, paralyses us.
On one occasion I read that "In this life you have to die several times and then be reborn. And crises, although frightening, serve to cancel an era and inaugurate another." We are daily in constant change (physical, mental, labor, loving), which means that we are evolving, in motion. The fact that we face new things must be seen as a challenge, an opportunity to move forward and give our best. Welcome the changes to our lives.
