LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE 2

     Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the cloud. This gives the eagle and 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 challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.                                                                                               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 reaches the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle.                       The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and drops the twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the female is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment.  Then and only will she allow him to mate with her.                                             MEANING: Test the commitment of the people intended for                                              Eagles prepare for training, they remove their feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in the preparation for flying and eventually fly when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest
        MEANING: Leave your comfort zone, there is no growth there         When the eagle grows old, his feather becomes 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 bread 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 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 should be let go of.                                                 YES, NEVER GIVE UP                                                        
                  BE AN EAGLE NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!
