Light as an Eagle

The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot (5:20) states, "Be light as an eagle," yet an eagle is one of the heaviest birds, so why was it chosen? The commentators explain that despite its weight, Hashem gave it powerful wings to soar, underscoring that although life presents constant challenges, Hashem grants us the strength to rise above them. Just as the eagle’s wings lift it beyond its natural limitations, Torah and emunah empower us to overcome our struggles and ascend to greater heights.
