2. Have you ever obs erved the behaviour of
birds in the face of advers ity?
3. For days and days they make their nes ts , s ometimes
gathering materials brought from far away
4. A nd when they have completed the nes t and are ready to
lay eggs , the weather, or the work of humans , or s ome
animal, des troys it, and it falls to the ground, all that they
have done with s o much effort
5. Do they s top ?
B ewildered,
and leave the
work ?
6. No way. They s tart over building the nes t again and again
until they have eggs in the nes t again.
7. S ometimes ,and very often before the chicks are are hatched,
an animal, a child, or a s torm des troys the nes t once again,
but this time with its valuable contents .
8. It hurts to go back to begin again… E ven s o, the birds do not
ever s top, they continue to s ing and build, and keep s inging
and building…..
9. Do you s ometimes get the feeling that your life, your
work, your family is not what you had dreamed. Do you
s ometimes want to s ay “ enough” , the effort is not
worthwhile. It is all too much for me!
10. A re you tired of it all? Do you feel that the daily s truggle is a
was te of time, your trus t has been betrayed, your goals not
reac hed jus t as you were about to get them?
11. Life s trikes you down s ometimes , but do you go on, s ay a
prayer, put your faith in hope, not darknes s ? Do not worry
if you get injured in the battle, that is to be expected. Gather
yours elf together and rebuild your life,
s o that it runs well again.
12. No matter what happens … Do not s hrink back, but move
forward. Life is a c ons tant challenge, but it is worthwhile
to mos tly accept it. A nd never s top s inging.
13. Do not keep this to yourself….
