A penguin was standing on the water’s edge when he looked up at an eagle soaring high above his head. 

He watched him with great admiration for a few moments and then looked down at his own flippers with frustration. “That looks so cool, I wish I could fly in the air like an eagle,” he thought to himself before accepting reality; sliding into the sea and swimming away. 

The eagle looked down and saw the penguin swimming gracefully in the water.

He watched him with similar admiration for a few moments and looked across at his own wings, wondering if they would work under water.

“That looks so cool, I wish I could fly in the water like a penguin,” he thought to himself, before accepting reality; catching another updraft and effortlessly soaring away into the distance.

A penguin is a penguin for a reason and it is remarkably good at what it was created for. An eagle is an eagle for a reason and it is remarkably good at what it was created for. And you are you for a reason and have the capacity to become remarkably good at what you were created for. The sooner we accept this, the happier and more successful we will be!
