On the edge of a quiet harbor lived a young seagull named Liora. While the other seagulls were content to swoop for scraps and circle fishing boats, Liora had a dream: she wanted to soar higher than any seagull had ever flown—beyond the clouds, into the open heavens where the sun danced freely.
But every time she tried, her wings wobbled. The wind pushed her back. She tumbled into the waves, salt stinging her eyes. The other gulls laughed.
“Why keep trying?” they jeered. “The sky belongs to hawks and eagles, not to us.”
Each failure bruised her body and her heart. Some nights, she perched alone, wings heavy, whispering to the waves, “Maybe they’re right. Maybe this dream was never meant for me.”
But deep within, something wouldn’t let go. A quiet voice—soft as the tide at dawn—reminded her, “The One who gave you wings also gave you the dream. Trust that they belong together.”
So Liora rose again.
She failed again.
And again.
But each fall taught her a secret: how to angle her wings, how to lean with the wind instead of against it, how to rest when storms grew too fierce.
One morning, after countless attempts, the wind shifted in her favor. She lifted from the harbor, higher and higher, past the mocking cries, past the weary limits of yesterday. And when her strength wavered, faith carried her where her wings could not.
For the first time, she touched the sunlit sky she had always believed in.
From above the clouds, Liora looked down and understood: every failure had been part of her flight. Her faith was never wasted. Dreams, no matter how impossible they seem, are only waiting for the courage to keep rising.
And so she called out to the world below, her voice clear as the wind:
“Do not give up. Believe. The sky is wide enough for all who dare to dream.”
