Lessons from the Eagles


I had recently came across an article describing how an eagle makes a nest for its babies and found it very fascinating.  When a mother eagle builds her nest she starts with thorns, broken branches, sharp rocks, and a number of other items that seem entirely unsuitable for the project. But then she lines the nest with a thick padding of wool, feathers, and fur from animals , making it soft and comfortable for the eggs.
As the chicks grow, they move around in the nest and gradually displace the softer bedding. At some point the softer material is scattered away, and only the thorny foundation remains, making it quite uncomfortable for the chicks to stay in the nest. Thus they are motivated to flap their wings and take independent flight, as they are meant to do.
Sometimes when we are faced with uncomfortable circumstances, this might be a sign for us to flap our wings and soar . Just as potted plants need a big enough container to grow.  Now this doesn’t mean to fly away from every uncomfortable situation, however use it as an opportunity to expand. However, it's best to get smart and choose to move "out of our comfort zone nest" and become motivated about and involved.   This can be done right where you are.  The answers are always within.
Take Action!
Here are some tips that will help you and get in the flow of life.
  • Discover your desires. Start by looking through books, magazines or catalogs for pictures, phrases, titles, headlines, or single words that tug at your heart.  Some dreams  may seem unrealistic . Let yourself dream big!
  • Say Yes! If someone invites you to something or you if you come across an event that you would never do, try it. You never know who you would meet, or how you will be inspired
  • Give ! Time, money , knowledge, etc. The rule of life that I have learned that is what you give to others you give to yourself.
Have a great day
