The
eagle
Flying over the
storm – Alone !
Unlike humans and other animal species, the Eagle
rises up to face the storm and flies high above it, at altitudes no other birds
can fly. It does not choose to remain or take shelter with other flocks. Unlike
other animal and bird species, storms actually excite an Eagle. Its life
performance thrives and it’s best abilities surface.
Like the Eagle if we choose to do something great in
life, we must learn to rise up over our challenges to overcome! Use life's storm to be
better, wiser, greater, wealthier and healthier.
The Eagle has Vision
Flying
high above, the Eagle can capture objects 2-3 miles down. No matter how many
issues it faces the Eagle stays focused and does not lose sight of it’s prey.
We will always face dissent and arguments, but in spite of it all, we should not lose focus of our goals.
The Eagle rejuvenates itself.
When
the Eagle feels weak, exhausted and dying it retires to a high mountain top
cave or shelter. No to die, but to shed off their older feathers, break their
older beaks and also remove their old talons.
They
then grow a new beak, new feathers and
new talons. New life tools for them. Thus in six months, they are “re-born”.
Renewed. Strengthened to overcome great challenges again. Like the Eagle we too
must rejuvenate. Stale information must be discarded and new things learned.
Old habits must be changed to cater to the changing world. We need to adapt to
our changing environment, imbibe the knowledge of new life tools and respond to
the new life challenges.
The
Eagle Tests Before it Trust
The
female eagle subjects the male eagle to vigorous testing before allowing the
male to mate with her. When we want to partner or enter some kind of agreement with others, we should test
the commitment of people before we trust them with our time and resources.
The
Eagles prepare with Training
Young
eagles have been known to learn how to fly by observing how their parents fly.
At first, parent eagle prompts them to fly by holding food in their beaks while
flying around the nest. This usually makes the young ones to fly out of the
nest and this is repeated till they become perfect. Second, to train it to fly
high, parent eagles take the baby eagle to a mountain top at high altitude to
prepare it for the challenge of flying at great heights. When the baby eagle is
released, the free fall at first is frightening but the mother eagle soon comes
to the rescue and the process is repeated again until the baby eagle can fly
alone at high altitude in the manner of the parents.
Challenges
of life are a constant. These challenges are our training period for higher
responsibilities. The better we are at managing our battles in life, the wiser
and more responsible we become. Preparation is vital for future success.
