1. Eagles fly Alone and at High
Altitudes.
They don't fly with sparrows,
ravens, and other small birds.
MEANING; Stay away from
narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep
good company.
2. Eagles have an Accurate
Vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No
matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he
grabs it.
MEANING; Have a vision and
remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. Eagles do not Eat Dead
things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.
MEANING; Do not rely on your past
success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it
belongs, in the past.
4. Eagles Love the Storm.
When clouds gather, the eagle
gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it
finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself
above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its
wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of
the tree.
MEANING; Face your challenges
head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you
were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are
not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges,
rather they relish them and use them profitably.
5. When a Female Eagle Meets a
Male Eagle and they want to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and
flies back into the air with the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has
reached a height high enough for her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the
ground while she watches. The male eagle chases after the twig and catches it
before it reached the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The
female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher altitude and drops the
twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height
increasing each time until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has
mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then
will she allow him to mate with her.
MEANING; Whether in private
life or business, one should test the commitment of the people intended for
partnership.
6. Eagles Prepare for Training;
They remove the feathers and
soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation
for flying and eventually flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.
MEANING; Leave your Comfort
Zone, there is No Growth there.
7. When the Eagle Grows Old,
His feathers becomes weak and
cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could
make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there,
he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws
against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful
process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers,
new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.
MEANING; We occasionally need
to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no
value to our lives should be let go of.
YES, NEVER GIVE UP,
BE AN EAGLE, NEVER EVER GIVE UP
