See parts 1 and 2 below. I have yet to soar with the Eagles, but I keep trying. One. day. at. a. time.
Sometimes Eagles get grounded by the crows, when those crows are so common and pervasive, and if the Eagle is weakened. Even if the Eagle turns to what makes him strong, to Rise Above the crows simply by flying to an altitude at which they can't fly, sometimes the odds are stacked against him, and he is left fatigued and without flight.
But what lays before him is the same instinct, to Rise Above, and so he waits, gains his strength, and plans his escape. That is to Rise Above once again.
So when they wear you down, exhaust you, oppress you, just give it time, because you are an Eagle, and they are a crow, so in good time you will soar above them once again. To learn the lesson, to avoid letting them entangle you ever again, if you can help it.
Rise above. The crows come in packs. They surround like pests. But in the end they are weak, whereas you are strong. In the short term the sheer fact of their numbers and perpetual annoyances might keep you on the ground, but in due time they will tire and give up, and you will fly above and beyond them, back to peace and freedom.
In the mean time, try as much as you can to ignore the crows, to be strong in response to them, to put them back in their place without letting them drag you into a fight, which by their design makes you the loser for getting dragged into it. Use intelligence, careful use of limited words, and your feet to move away from their flock. And rest.
And then, when you have rested, and stored back up your energy tanks, rise above. And when you do it will be like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption emerging from that sewage pipe into freedom, at the end of the film.
Right now you may be down there stuck in their excrement, in a dark, tight, claustrophobic place. But stay calm and focused just on what is right in front of you, keep on breathing, praying, planning, and doing your daily work, and then one day soon enough you will Rise Above, and Soar!
