What if I told you that even birds have more patience and faith than most people have in their own dreams? It might sound strange, but stay with me—there’s a lesson here that could change how you see your goals forever.
You cannot name a single bird in the world that abandons its eggs right after laying them. Not one. Birds incubate their eggs until they hatch, no matter how long it takes. They protect them from predators, shield them from the weather, and give them warmth every single day. Some birds even go without food or sleep, simply because their only focus is to see new life break out of that shell.
Now here’s the truth: your ideas, dreams, and goals are like eggs.
You already have ideas in your mind that could change your life forever and lift you to new heights. Deep down, you know they have the power to make you fly high. So, you start working hard—days, weeks, months. At first, the excitement drives you forward. But then… nothing. No visible results. No obvious progress.
And this is where many people lose patience. They start to think, “Maybe this isn’t working. Maybe it’s time to give up.” That’s the exact moment they throw away their chance to soar—just because they couldn’t see what was happening inside the shell.
The bird doesn’t know for certain if every egg will hatch. But it still sits, warming and protecting, with faith and patience until the moment comes. And when it does, that tiny crack in the shell changes everything.
There are three powerful qualities birds have that most people lack—qualities you must develop to achieve your dream life:
1. Patience
Great things take time. Birds instinctively understand this. They don’t rush the process; they let life develop at its own pace. Your dream is no different. You may not see instant results, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. Just because you can’t see the progress doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
2. Faith
Birds can’t see inside the egg, but they believe in what’s growing there. You must have that same faith in your vision. Even when nothing seems to be happening, trust that your efforts are building something meaningful—something that will one day break through into the world.
3. Trust in the Process
Different dreams have different timelines. A hummingbird egg hatches in 12 days. An ostrich egg takes 42 days. The bigger the life inside, the longer the wait. Likewise, the bigger your dream, the more time it might need. It’s not just about working hard—it’s about allowing your vision to mature until it’s ready.
It’s tempting to abandon your “eggs” halfway through, especially when the results aren’t instant. But you never know—your idea might be halfway to hatching. If you give up now, you could be throwing away something that’s already close to coming alive.
Never let your ideas rot in the bin of forgotten dreams. Have faith that they will work. Trust that they will come alive. Believe that they will give you a new life, one you’ve been longing for.
Be like the bird. Protect your vision. Guard your dream. Keep it warm with your commitment.
And remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day—and neither are the most beautiful, life-changing dreams.
