Book Details

What Choices Would You Make if You Had a Portal to See Your Future?


Look up into the sky—how many eagles do you see? Chances are, you won’t see any…or if you do, they will be soaring so high that you can’t see them or recognize them as eagles. There are eagles among humans, too—they are the people who soar to the pinnacles of achievement. Since we know that attitude determines altitude, if you want to soar, the most important thing is to aspire to higher attitudes! You learn to soar by learning from other eagles, so don’t hang out with those who are afraid of heights and reality…especially the ones whose only “highs” come from drugs and alcohol. They’ll only teach you how to hide like a rodent! Eagles have the best sight in the animal kingdom. It takes vision to know where you want to go and how to get there. You want to aspire to the vision of the eagle. While some people are like rodents, others are like pigeons: they can fly, but not very far, and they feel more comfortable staying with a flock. It’s always crowded among pigeons, and they fight for every scrap. Eagles can get what they need with little or no competition. Pigeons aren’t afraid to fly, but they are afraid of higher altitudes. Eagles have no animosity toward rodents and pigeons—but the rodents and pigeons all agree that eagles are bad. Eagles don’t care what rodents and pigeons think of them, though—they are confident and comfortable with who they are. Human rodents and pigeons forget that they had a choice, and they chose not to be eagles. Do you want to soar with the eagles? Then this motivational book, grounded in the author’s real-life experiences and achievements, is the guide for you.
