EAGLE SPIRIT

-

 

 1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes : They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. You are known by the Company you keep. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company. But accept that you are always ALONE at the TOP.

2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision :They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.

MEANING; Have a VISION and remain FOCUSED no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.




3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things : They Feed only on FRESH PRAY.

MEANING; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.

4. Eagles Love the Storm : When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited & uses the storm's wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses 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.

MEANING; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.

5. Always Test the Commitment of the other Person: When a Female Eagle Meets a Male Eagle* and they want to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and flies back into the air with the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the ground while she watches. The male eagle chases after the twig and catches it before it reached the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher altitude and drop the twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then will she allow him to mate with her.

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

6. Eagles Prepare for Training; They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.

MEANING; *One should always be prepared to leave the Comfort Zone. There is No Growth There.

7. 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. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare, a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than ever before.

MEANING; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives. These should be let go of.

GET RICH, GET WEALTHY, ITS NOT A SIN. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

  My desire to succeed in life was inspired mostly by my upbringing. We were born in a peasant family in the slopes of Mount Kenya, a county known as Kirinyaga. Our family was poor, but I salute my Dad Mr. Jeremiah and my late Mum Mama Alice Jeremiah, may she rest in peace. Irrespective of the hardships of bringing three children without a formal job, they were reputed small scale farmers. They used to sell horticultural seedlings to earn a daily bread.  Many are the days we slept hungry when the seedlings couldn’t move. But, that never made us give up, instead it was a stepping stone to my strong faith and desire to succeed. During my younger years, my dad used to take me to Sacco meetings and cooperative forums where he would enroll for saving schemes and buying shares. The small sacrifices he made back then was part of what supported him take us to higher education. Success in life is coupled with a lot of sacrificing. Its not an overnight thing, its not magic, IT’S A JOURN...

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else...
