The other seagulls just flew to look for food every day.But Jonathan wanted to reach higher. He wanted to know how far he could get.He always went to practice far from the shore.Because of that, Jonathan was always alone. He was alone with his thoughts and his dreams to fly.One day, his mother asked him, \u201cWhy is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why don&amp;#39;t you eat? You\u2019re feathers and bone!\u201dJonathan answered, \u201cI don&amp;#39;t mind being feathers and bone, mom.I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can&amp;#39;t, that&amp;#39;s all.\u201dHis father told him, \u201cWinter isn&amp;#39;t far away.Boats will be few and the surface fish will be swimming deep.Don&amp;#39;t you forget that the reason you fly is to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan obeyed his parents.For a few days, he did what all the other seagulls did. Jonathan searched the pier and fishing boats for scraps.He screeched and fought for food like everybody else.But Jonathan realized that this was not really what he wanted.He felt like he was wasting his time.Jonathan flew far off to the sea.He was not fat like the other seagulls.But he was happy and excited.He learned about his speed.Jonathan flew 1000 feet in the air and took a deep dive.He was plunging at 70 miles per hour.Jonathan Livingston could have been the fastest seagull alive.But then at some point, he would lose control over his wings.He tried and tried again.He flew to a thousand feet and took a dive.But, just a small change in the angle of his wings and the wind would send him crashing down to the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan hit the surface hard.When he woke up, he was floating under the big bright moon.He was very tired. His wings were very heavy.\u00a0He heard a voice inside him saying, \u201cThere&amp;#39;s no way around it. I am a seagull.If I were meant to fly at speed, I&amp;#39;d have a falcon&amp;#39;s short wings.My father was right.I must forget this foolishness.\u201dJonathan flew back to the shore. Everywhere, all he could see was darkness.\u201cGet down!\u201d The voice inside him spoke again.\u201cSeagulls never fly in the dark! If you were meant to fly in the dark, you&amp;#39;d have the eyes of an owl! You\u2019d have a falcon&amp;#39;s short wings! \u201dAt that moment, Jonathan Livingston Seagull had a eureka moment.The pain and sadness that he felt went away.\u201cShort wings! The short wings of a falcon!\u201d he thought to himself.\u201cI can fold half of my wings and fly with the tips of my feathers.That way, I can fly faster!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan flapped his wings once again.He didn\u2019t stop until he was 2000 feet in the air. He knew it was dangerous, but he was determined.Jonathan kept his forewings close to his body and let the tips of his wings feel the air.The brave seagull took the vertical dive.He was falling fast at 70 miles to 90 miles and then 120 miles per hour.Jonathan even went to 140. When he was above the sea, he moved his wings carefully and everything was under control.As Jonathan flew smoothly over the water, he thought \u201c140! If I fly up to 5000 feet, how much faster can I dive?\u201d He had been about to quit, but now Jonathan knows that he can never accept the ordinary. He was meant for something else.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/gigl.page.link\/pXW8\">TO READ OR LISTEN COMPLETE BOOK CLICK HERE<\/a> <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gigl.page.link\/pXW8\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117.png 455w, https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117-24x11.png 24w, https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117-36x16.png 36w, https:\/\/www.greatideasgreatlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/16067581648352-117-48x21.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Jonathan kept on practicing.He felt so alive.For the first time in his life, he felt in control.From 5000 feet above, his home looked like a tiny speck.

Impossible! What about the breakthrough?
