Eagle or Chicken

We were told the following story today that challenges me as I look at my life.

An eagles egg was planted among chicken eggs. The eagle egg hatched and the eagle chick believed that it was a chicken. It scratched and pecked the ground like a chicken and walked around the farmyard. It lived its life like that and grew old

One day the old eagle looked up and saw a large gracefull bird flying overhead. What is that? he asked the chickens. "That is an eagle" they said, the "King of the air, We are birds of the ground". the eagle continued to live as he did, because he believed he was a chicken

What am I, a chicken or an eagle?
