Today, what you are about to realize, mark my words, after this, it will be etched in your mind. You are going to gain such clarity. As you reach the end of this article, you will be genuinely thanking me from the bottom of your heart. In a profound realization, I found myself astonished when I learned about the life of an eagle. When you witness its sacrifices, you will be like wtf, can even a creature, even a bird, do so much ?
So, the average lifespan of an eagle is 70 years but the turning point in its life comes when it’s 40 years old, for 40 years it touches every height of the sky. When there is rain, bad weather, other birds go back to their nests, but it goes above the clouds and in this way, it lives its life freely until 40 but after that, its body begins to leave it. Its beak starts to bend, to bow completely so it can no longer hunt, its wings become so heavy that they stick to its chest, making it difficult to fly and its claws, which it used to hunt with, become blunt and in such a condition, forget about hunting, it can’t even fly properly.
So, in this condition, it has two options.
(1) either accept its condition and wait for death or
(2) choose the second option, which is very difficult, in which it has to go through a hard process of six months to make itself like it was before.
So it chooses the second option and about this 6-month process. We can’t even imagine, no one can believe that this bird goes through such a hard process. If we human were in place of that eagle, instead of going through this process at that age, we would prefer death, choose death over life.
Now, let’s see what it does during that time. When the body begins to abandon it, it ascends to the highest part of its territory or to a high mountain where no one can reach it. There, it plucks out all its feathers with its beak, repeatedly scrapes its claws on the rocks, breaking them, and then snaps its beak until it breaks as well. This process causes it a lot of pain, but none of this was of any use to it, it was weakening it day by day. Therefore, it does this, and after doing so, it tries hard to avoid the gaze of other animals in such a wounded state. This process is so dangerous that sometimes the eagle cannot find food due to bad weather, sometimes it cannot find water due to lack of rain, but somehow it has to survive for 6 months in this condition.
So, gradually, in these 6 months, its new feathers, beak, and claws grow back, and when nature gives it all this again, it sets off once more to reign in the sky for 30 years. In India, there is a saying in Hindi, you might have heard it, “Baz ke bachche munderon par nahi udate,” which means “The offspring of a hawk do not fly on donkeys”, means what is easy or normal, what is obvious, where other birds are flying, the hawk’s babies does not fly there.
In the past, a warrior was considered someone who fought battles on the battlefield, whose tales we still read and hear today. But in today’s world, a true warrior is someone who has conquered their mind, their senses, who is doing something meaningful, something uncomfortable in life.
you don’t have to live a boring life like normal people, you should live a life like a warrior, like a champion. According to me, the most cowardly person in today’s world is the one who cannot leave small comforts and pleasures, who always looks for cheap pleasures, in the hope of finding something from somewhere.
Most people who are living a boring life want their life to be exciting, fun, but they don’t do anything about it. Do you know why? They get stuck because of their comfort zone. Their life is very boring, devoid of any excitement. Yet, they spend each day in the same way they have been for years because they fear change. They fear that if they change, they might lose a little fun, a little comfort that already have. But they don’t know that life outside the comfort zone is as exciting as it gets, nowhere else will you find as much joy and satisfaction. If that weren’t the case, Successful people don’t make as many sacrifices even after achieving success. They just live a comfortable life. Why do actors who are 50-60 years old still work so hard? Some people might say it’s for money. What would they do with so much money? They will take it with them to the grave ? It’s not for the money, it’s for the that real highest form of joy. After doing something meaningful, something uncomfortable, adding value to people’s lives and their own, the contentment, the actual joy they receive feels so good from within.
Someone once asked Shah Rukh Khan if there’s any desire of his that remains unfulfilled, something he asks God for. Shah Rukh Khan said, ‘I don’t have the courage to ask for more. I feel like I’ve gotten more in life than anyone else. So, I can’t ask for more. I just work so that I can entertain people as long as I’m alive, in return for the immense love I receive from people.’ So successful people work hard even though it’s uncomfortable because they do it for this satisfaction. Even at the age of 92, Warren Buffet reads for 4-5 hours a day. Now don’t say that he does it for money. So, the little comfort we get is nothing compared to this feeling. When you do something worthwhile, the feeling you get from it, when you leave your comfort and do something meaningful, even though it feels uncomfortable at first, you might not feel like it, but that’s just a short-term impact, in the long run, the satisfaction you receive will be much much greater than anything else, greater than the pleasures, the small comforts and conveniences we’ve been chasing after all the time.”
Comfort makes you hollow, empties you from within. Waste 2-3 days, Indulge badly in bad habits, do this and see how much anxiety it brings and then work on your body and mind for 2-3 days and see how good it feels. Therefore, the real joy, the real satisfaction lies in facing challenges. If there are no challenges in life, create them. You’ll enjoy it immensely. If you want to be successful, if you want to stand out from the crowd, then you have to be like a hawk, my friend. Whether you get something or not, whether you get what you want or not, without trying, without knowing your true limitations, you shouldn’t just sit and listen to your mind. Experience everything.
Many foolish individuals consider themselves overly intelligent. They misinterpret this philosophy, thinking that life is too short, so they should indulge in pleasure. But in reality this is excuse to escape reality. The truth is, they never find true happiness in their lives. They merely attempt to evade life, to run away from reality. Getting lost in video games, smoking and drinking, or partying in a haze—all of this is not the essence of a fulfilling life; it’s just a way to escape reality.
The real truth is, by indulging in these activities, you will never reach your full potential, and you will never experience the genuine joy that comes from actual happiness, a happiness that is a hundred or a thousand times greater. So, stop making excuses for fake or artificial enjoyments.
The lives of today’s people are a thousand times better than the lives of the past kings. Feeling bored? Grab something to eat, go somewhere, check your phone, food is served on the table, everything is perfect in an instant. We’re living an easier life than our ancestors, yet we’re still unhappy and depressed. Why? The reason is the lack of purpose, the lack of meaningful things & discipline.
“Dicipline is not punishment, it’s freedom. This is the happiness, the freedom that people seek throughout their lives. Right now, this might seem like unnecessary advice to you, but the day you realize this, you will understand its value. Look at those who are living a disciplined life versus those who are just dragging through life.
We think that discipline takes away our freedom, whereas the reality is that you are currently living a trapped and miserable life. You’re living a life where you think you can do what you want, but when you look closely, you realize that you’re not able to do what you truly desire, what your inner self wants to do. Just like pleasures eventually lead to suffering, the pain you choose arbitrarily ultimately defines your life. This pain is what gives real life. It gives you the greatest joy. Stop choosing the inferior suffering by avoiding the good suffering.”
” The more you practice Discipline, the more you will be Free, Happy and able to live a Satisfied life.”
