If you don"t go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you don"t ask, the answer is always no.
If you don"t step forward, you"re always in the same place...

The Power of Encouragement
The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest.
Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging.
Why does the "thrill of soaring" have to begin with the "fear of falling?" she thought.
This ageless question was still unanswered for her.
As in the tradition of the species, her nest was located high upon the shelf of a sheer rock face.
Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child.
"Is it possible that this time it will not work?" she thought.
Despite her fears, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental mission was all but complete.
There remained one final task...
THE PUSH.
The eagle drew courage from
an innate wisdom.Until her children discovered their wings,there was no purpose for their lives.
Until they learned how to soar,they would fail
to understand the privilege it was to have
been born an eagle.
THE PUSH
was the greatest gift
she had to offer.It was her supreme act of love.
And so, one by one she PUSHED them ...
AND THEY FLEW
THE PUSH
SOMETIMES WE NEED IT
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO GIVE IT
It can be the greatest gift you ever give
it will change a life forever.
