Don't be a parrot in life, a parrot talks way too much, but can't fly high. But an eagle is silent and has the willpower to touch the sky.
Here are the 7 Mentalities we can learn from an Eagle:
1. Eagles fly alone at high altitude; Eagles don't fly with sparrows, ravens and other small birds meaning stay away from narrow minded people, those that bring you down. Eagles fly with eagles. There is a saying that goes like this: "People you hang around with will eventually determine the person you become." Keep good company.
2. Eagles have vision; They have the ability to focus on as something as far as 5km away. No matter what the obstacles the eagle won't move his focus on the prey until he grabs it. Meaning have a vision and remain focused in your life no matter what the obstacles and challenges you may face, don't give up and you will succeed.
3. Eagles are fearless; An eagle will never surrender to the size or strength of its prey. It will always give a fight to win its prey or regain its territory meaning no matter what the size or big your problems are don't give up instead face it. Successful people are fearless, they face problems head on.
4. Eagles are tenacious; Eagles love storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagles use storm wind to lift itself higher, once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles use 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. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them for profitability.
5. Eagles never eat dead things; Eagles never eat dead meat, in other words an eagle does not scavenge. It only eats the meat from the prey it kills itself meaning do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs.
6. Eagles prepare for training; They remove the feather and the soft grass in the nest so that the young ones gets uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually they fly when it becomes too unbearable to stay in the nest. Meaning, leave your comfort zone there is no growth there.
7. Last but not least, Eagles posses vitality; When the eagle grows old his feathers become 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 and while there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and his claws against the rocks until it is completely bare. A very bloody and painful process then he stays in his hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then comes out flying higher than never before. Meaning, we occasionally need to shed off old habits no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go off.
