Are you still cackling?! - Chicken clucking

How often do we hear a "I can't!" - which actually means "I don't dare - because I'm afraid of making mistakes! - and what if I try and fail - and the classic - what will my neighbors think!?" We all know this hen clucking. WHO CARES?! Who are we actually living for? Always nodding along and never standing out - because then we can't fall? What if we fall - FAILURE! Oh, NO! FEAR OF FAILURE?! Cowardly?! Why have we become so "grown-up" that we don't even dare to play like children anymore? A toddler has never fallen down and decided: "Well, that hurt - walking is not for me - Mom, Dad, please carry me for the rest of my life?!" Why do we then do it in our adult lives!? Ah, security?! Frantically searching for and pecking at the grains! Maybe during our daily scratching, we might even find a worm - a promotion! If the first raindrops fall, we run seeking shelter and panicky clucking with everyone else into the coop! What lies beyond the storm? But there are some who suddenly stop in the rain, look up at the sky, and wonder what might lie beyond the storm!? Something within us screams louder than the daily hen clucking around us! - Is money, a house, a Mercedes or BMW really everything? - Then why is it so lonely up there at the top of the pecking order? - We now have everything we were told we should have to be happy?! Survival of the fittest?! Really? But if we are all unique and our purpose is incomparable...is it really important who has the highest "crap position" in the henhouse? What am I doing here? Do we actually understand who we really are and what lies within us? - What is vision actually? - How is my purpose linked to my potential and what is my purpose actually? - What does potential have to do with discipline? We make a living, but we never live life! Are we living our lives or is our life being lived? What dreams and visions have we actually adopted from others and pour all our talents, strength, and time into fulfilling these foreign visions -- only to later completely exhausted, recharge during the annual vacation!? Burn Out or Burn Loud? There has never been a child who suffered a "Burn Out" while playing and had to go on a weeks-long cure to the North Sea. Children may sometimes faint in the middle of playing and then sleep peacefully, but as soon as they wake up, they are immediately back with full joy and strength! Like young eagles, they soar over all the impossible and dream with joy and fun of solutions in their world! Wake up and smell the coffee! - Wake up and live! No one will ever wake us up so we can live our dreams! When will we finally start using our eagle beak and break out of the henhouse of fear, self-doubt, and supposed security? Only when we leave the hen clucking behind will we finally recognize the true span of our eagle wingspan!
