Hi Everyone!

SOME INSPIRATION THIS WEEK TO HELP US TO SOAR! 

Consider the eagle….   Powerful Life Lessons from the Eagle

The eagle is a fascinating bird. Known for its power and ability to fly at high altitudes in the sky. It flies where no other bird can fly. As children, we are often told to soar like an eagle. Aim high and FLY. Oh, but if only it were that simple! I thought I’d highlight SOME ‘lessons’ that we can learn from them which are GREAT FOR US, AND GREAT TO SHARE WITH OUR CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE!

Eagles love the storm. They get excited when storm clouds gather. Why? They welcome the challenge it brings. They know the storm winds will lift them above the clouds. Above the clouds, they can rest their wings and become stronger.                                                           Life lesson:  Embrace our challenges and learn from them. That’s how we learn new skills, grow and get stronger. Is this easy to do? Of course not. But we can learn how to. Challenges bring opportunities. Embrace our challenges and learn from them. That’s how we learn new skills, grow and get stronger. 

Eagles fly alone or with their own kind.                                 Life lesson: Associate with people who are at your level, or who can help you to grow. Also, not everyone will share your vision or dream. Not everyone will understand.  Find people who think like you so that you can both dream and grow together. And don't share your dreams with just anybody. You've got a dream? Protect it!

Eagles have excellent vision and concentration. To catch their prey, they focus on it with laser like intensity, and set out to get it.                                                                              Life lesson: Do the same with your goals. Focus on one thing to accomplish at a time. Give it your effort, time and energy. Focus and “set out to achieve it”. 

BE     YOU    &     SOAR!

Just a little inspiration to help us through ‘troubled’ times!

          We can learn so much from nature!

                                TAKE CARE!!
