7 Principles Of An Eagle

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 got 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 careful with what you feed your eyes and

ears with, especially in movies and on TV.

Steer clear of outdated and old information.

Always do your research well.

PRINCIPLE 4

Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather,

the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the

storm?s wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the

wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging

storm to lift him 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 leaves and

branches of the trees. We can use the storms of life 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

When ready 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 and picks thorns

laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back

to earth and picks soft grass to cover the

thorns. When this first layering iscomplete

the male eagle runs back to earth and picks

more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back

to get grass it 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.

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 again

jump into the nest, 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 catches them up on his back

before they fall and brings them back to the

cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start

flapping their wings. They get excited at this

new found knowledge that they can fly.

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 live 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

When an 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 therocks.
