At 40, the eagle faces a brutal truth: evolve or die.
Its talons curve too much to catch prey.
Its beak bends, useless for tearing.
Its feathers grow heavy, grounding its flight.

Only two choices remain:
Give up… or endure a painful rebirth.

It retreats to a mountaintop. Alone.
There, it breaks off its own beak.
Waits as a new one grows.
Then it tears out its old talons.
Next, it rips away the weighty feathers.

150 days of agony, silence, and isolation.
But then — it soars again.
Reborn. Stronger. Lighter.
Ready for 30 more years of life.

Sometimes, we must do the same.
Let go of what holds us back —
Old habits. Limiting beliefs. Comfort zones.

Transformation hurts.
But the freedom that follows?
Unstoppable.

I'm sorry if I get too  /emotional
🧞‍♀️

I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling like this!

what can I say regardless of how it may sound is that we have a choice two make. We can either be in the same state of sorrow, or choose to embrace the suffering, to learn to live with and from it,  and move on to our next chapter

It is the hardest thing to do, yet I find it more rewarding!

And also, I don’t think there is anything else than living a life I don’t want mostly because this will make me live with the question of “what if?” constantly kn the back of my mind 🌹

Thanks for that, @eduardmsmr  You’re right  choosing to embrace the struggle isn’t easy, but it’s often where real growth begins. It’s comforting to know others are walking that path too. I’ll join the convo in /emotional appreciate the nudge.
