Have you ever looked back on a decision and felt the sting of regret, knowing it wasn’t your best choice? Maybe, in the moment, ego was driving—telling you to hold on tighter, prove a point, or avoid vulnerability. It’s a familiar story for many of us, but it’s also one that can keep us from being the eagle we’re meant to be.
Ego loves to keep us grounded, tethered to what’s safe or familiar, even when it doesn’t serve us. It whispers, You can’t let go. You can’t risk failure. You have to prove yourself. But here’s the truth: ego clips your wings, while the eagle in you is meant to soar.
The eagle doesn’t settle for the safety of the ground. It rises above, seeing the bigger picture and trusting the winds to carry it. Stepping into that eagle mindset means releasing the grip of ego and choosing faith, purpose, and growth instead.
Here’s the challenge for all of us: The next time you face a decision, pause and ask yourself, Am I letting ego drive this, or am I stepping into the freedom of the eagle I’m meant to be?
Life is too short to stay stuck. Let go of what’s holding you down, spread your wings, and rise. You were made for more.
