The eagle is a highly successful and effective bird; seven talents of
the eagle that you can emulate to become successful include:
1. Soaring
The eagle is designed to soar at great heights; the eagle soars by
using the wind currents at these great heights as a platform to move
effortlessly, gliding through the air, giving a spectacular display and
achieving what ordinarily might seem impossible.
The eagle did not start soaring overnight, though it had the talent
and capacity to soar, the eagle had to go through a process to discover,
develop and use this talent.
You are destined for great heights, to soar high above and to achieve
greatness; within you is the talent and capacity to accomplish this
feat; but like the eagle you need to discover your talent to soar,
develop and use it.
The ability to soar is embedded in you; to stand out above others; but to achieve this, learn from the eagle.
2. Strength
To soar at great heights, an eagle will require tremendous strength
to overcome the resistance of the wind and the force of gravity. With
its stretched out wings, the eagle uses powerful flaps to gather
momentum and fly into the air. A continuous bust of powerful flaps of
the wings is required to maintain ascent and gather speed until the
eagle reaches the required altitude and begins to soar effortlessly. To
survive in its habitat, the eagle has a strong beak and talons; this
enables it to hunt and feed.
To use its strength to achieve the feat of lift-off and survival
requires a high standard of practicing by the eagle. Without the
discovery, development and use of its inherent strength, the eagle will
remain stagnant.
Discover the inner strength in you; work and develop your powerful
muscles, tap into this vast resource and break free from limiting
forces. Your strength like that of the eagle translates to your ability
to be disciplined, determined and active; building those powerful
muscles for your lift-off, effortless soaring and survival.
3. Swiftness
The eagle is swift; fast paced, flying at great speeds to complete
its mission. The eagle is hardworking full of zeal to achieve its
purpose in life. There is a destiny the eagle is expected to achieve and
it is determined to do so.
To make an impact in life, you must be full of zeal; be determined
and swift in pursuing your dreams. Time is of essence; you cannot
continue to remain dormant and expect an excellent outcome, it is time
to make the move to maximize your talent.
4. Sight
Another talent the eagle has is sight. The eagle is endowed with
excellent and powerful eyesight that enables it to see far and wide of
its surroundings. The eagle has translated this gift of eyesight into
fore-sight or vision. This transition gives the eagle the ability to
recognize, embrace, prepare and be ready to fulfill its destiny of
soaring high above in the air.
To achieve your destiny of greatness, of fulfilling purpose, then
like the eagle, you must translate your gift of eyesight into fore-sight
or vision. You must have a vision that you are destined to soar, to be
great and make an impact in life. You must see yourself achieving this
vision and must make every effort to prepare yourself for it.
5. Schooling
Every eaglet has the potential to soar, but this potential has to be
unlocked through a schooling process. From hatching, the eaglet is
enrolled in a training programme by the mother eagle to unlock the
potential to soar.
The mother eagle’s training programme will start with visual
demonstration of the flapping of wings during feeding. Before long, the
mother eagle will intensify the training programme in an effort to
prepare the eaglet for its destiny.
Like the eaglet, within you is the talent that will make you to soar
and become great; however you need to enroll in a training programme
that will empower you to develop, deploy and maximize your talent.
6. Surroundings
The final stage of the mother eagle’s training programme will involve
a final departure from of the eaglet’s nest. Eventually, a day comes,
the eaglet is now on its own; gone is the familiar surroundings of a
comfortable nest to return to after the day’s activities; gone is the
mother eagle’s training oversight. The eaglet is now expected to go out
into the world and fulfill destiny.
To maximize your talent, learn from the mother eagle’s final training
programme; there is the need to move on from familiar surroundings and
take leaps of faith into achieving your purpose in life. The capacity to
fully achieve your destiny will depend on your willingness to move away
from your comfort zone.
7. Seclusion
During the eagle’s lifetime, there comes a season when the eagle goes
into seclusion to experience a period of change, a painful period of
molting of the eagle’s feathers and the growth of new feathers. However,
after experiencing this season of seclusion, the eagle comes out
renewed, re-energized and revitalized to achieve much more than
previously possible.
A season of seclusion, deep thought and appraisal is essential for
you to become renewed and revitalized for the mission of succeeding in
purpose in life. This season is a period of change; positive change for a
renewed pursuit of the maximization of your talent.
When you embrace these seven essential traits of the
eagle, you will be positioned to fulfill destiny and make an impact on
life.
