I stole the following from a digital creator on Facebook by the name of Greg Street. Where he stole it from or whether it is original with him is a mystery that will remain unsolved.
The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle's back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.
But the eagle... stays calm.
The eagle doesn't flap. Doesn't fight. Doesn't waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
The higher the eagle soars, the thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can't handle the altitude.
Eventually, the crow gasps, loses strength...and falls off; not because the eagle attacked, but because the eagle ascended.
Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don't have to respond. Just keep going higher. They can't follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don't engage. Elevate.

Truth is...It's no fun being pestered by the crows of this world, but if I can use it to motivate me to fly closer to the Lord? Hit me with your best shot.
