Lessons from the Great Eagle

Eagles symbolizes greatness; traditionally Eagles are associated with nobility, authority, pride, fierceness, freedom and courage. We love and respect these special birds of prey. The question is what can we learn from the Eagles?

An Eagle with his prey.
The 7 principles of An Eagle.

PRINCIPLE 1
Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can goes to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens.
Eagles fly with Eagles.

PRINCIPLE 2
Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.

PRINCIPLE 3
Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.
Be very selected with what you read and listen to. Do you only research.

PRINCIPLE 4
Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the wings of the storm to rise and is pushed up higher. Once it finds the wing of the storm, the eagle stops flapping and uses the pressure of the raging storm to soar the clouds and glide. This gives the eagle an opportunity to rest its wings. In the meantime all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees. We can use the storms of our lives (obstacles, trouble, etc) to rise to greater heights.
Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.

PRINCIPLE 5
The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her.
Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle.
The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.

Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership.

PRINCIPLE 6
Eagles prepare for training. When about to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach; the male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth picks thorns and lays them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass to cover the thorns, and then flies back to pick rugs to put on the grass. When this first layering is complete the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back to get grass and rugs and lays them on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest.
The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest and because they are scared, they jump into the nest again.
Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare. When the scared eaglets jump into the nest again, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air.
As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and picks them up on his back before they fall, and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for some time until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly and not fall at such a fast rate.
The father and mother eagle supports them with their wings. The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes; the preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success.
The being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and love on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns.

The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.

PRINCIPLE 7
Eagles rejuvenate. When the Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out.
We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives.

Scottsdale, AZ 04/14/2009: WebSimpleMoney as part of the Reverse Funnel System
works, and works very well for everyone who takes action. A real estate agent, auto sales, work at home mom, previously laid off and the list goes on and on. Why does it work so well? Because this is a system that was created with all the good of network marketing and none of the bad. No prospecting or selling, and no human factor! The inventors found that the human factor was the one thing that got in the way of success, so they took out selling and replaced it with a proven system and a top notch back end sales and support team. The only thing that every business, including this, has in common is the need for advertising. Knowing this, the masterminds made sure that all the business owners receive plent of marketing training, advice, coaching, support, and they are even supplied a variety of marketing sites and more. All combined, the system is the answer to many work at homers. No more calls in the middle of the night, no more marketing questions unanswered. Just money coming in, in $1000 increments!! $3-5K a week is very real, especially in a bad economy!! www.websimplemoney.com

Your Perception is Your Reality of Choice

You choose your reality every day by choosing your perceptions. A strong statement but think where your thoughts come from to form your perceptions. They come from your beliefs. And your beliefs not only form your perceptions, but also form your attitude that you show others.

You have a choice in how you see things. For example, marketing is challenging and I'm not good at it or marketing is fun. When you perceive yourself not good at something, your mind will search for a way to prove it. You will probably avoid marketing since you are not good at it, rather check emails, and rather do anything else. And finally, at the end of the day, you might get to it. But since you are tired and not happy about it, you will perceive it as drudgery and further confirm that you are not good at it and that everyone is so much better than you. What if you thought marketing was fun? You would do it first and be excited about the results you will get. Understand, that your perception forming a daily task will form the outcome or results.

Beliefs are our view or perceptions of the world -- notice how closely related your beliefs are to your perception. We each bring our own set of experiences and histories and fears to the table. No matter what the true reality is, our beliefs are much more powerful in forming our perception of the world.

You are in charge of choosing your perception of the world. When you perceive yourself as the person you really want to be, you will start acting like that person. Here are some steps to changing your limiting beliefs about yourself and changing your perception and attitude.

1. Write down your top 3 limiting beliefs that have kept you from achieving what you really want in your life. Take some time on this. i.e. I am not good enough at .... so I can't do ...
2. How will you change your beliefs about yourself? i.e. I will work on ... so that I am the best at ... and achieve...
3. Be selective who you listen to. Even the most loving and well meaning people give us advice that is tainted. Your perception here would be you can do anything, no matter what my mom and dad say. I am the best.
4. Practice personal development to form an abundant and grateful heart.

You will find your perceptions changing about yourself as you change your beliefs. You will see yourself as the "CEO" of your company and do the actions that "CEOs" would take. You are in charge of your perception of your reality, so change your beliefs and your perception will change and your results will change too!
