INCREDIBLE EAGLE LIVING

Over the last weekend I have been at my rural home away from the noise and pollution in the city. The place is quiet with humming from the birds on the rooftops and trees. I raise a few chicks and sometimes I let them out into the open when its sunny. I keep watch lest they are taken away by birds of prey. I got engrossed in a book that I was reading and forgot the chicks(am not good at multitasking).
Out of the skies an eagle swooped down on one of the chicks and disappeared at break neck speed leaving the rest scampering for safety  underneath a rack. That was pretty fast!! ha  and interesting.(although I lost a chick which is sad). Later, I decided to do a little research on the eagle.

• It has a powerful sight,a great vision with which its able to spot prey miles down.

A great vision helps one see the targeted end. One cannot get what they don't have a mental picture of. It prevents one from deviating from the primary task. It also acts as a measure of progress towards a predetermined goal. What you see is what you get.... Write you vision in broad colours,review it daily. Break it down to specific courses of action and get working to make it happen. It might be hard but make a move. In China they say"A journey of 1000 miles start with one step".

• It moves to the prey at high speed. Extremely swift.

Acting fast makes one optimise the amount of time spent versus the cost. Procrastination is a killer disease as it wastes opportunities. Delay dallying is laziness. Don't wait act now!!! That opportunity might not be there tomorrow. Be organised and have a schedule and deadlines. It increases efficiency.

• It eats fresh prey not carcasses.

It takes hot blood ,sweet fresh flesh. Vultures and other scavengers follow the carnivorous. Eat the dead and decaying. Be a go getter and take initiative avoid camouflaging behind others. Opportunities will befall the initiators.

• When teaching its young ones to fly, it drops them at high attitude and then moves swiftly to get hold of those that are not able to spread their wings and fly.

This is a serious risk and some of the birds will fall to the ground and die. Most of the highest paying tasks carry the greatest risk. Do you have an appetite for risk or do you want to live in a save haven. Learn from the school of hard knocks. A challenge overcomed is some muscle built.

• They fly high  and live high up in the trees and hills. 

This differentiates the eagle from the rest of low flying sparrows and woodpeckers. Differentiation creates room for expansion whether the differentiation is real or imagined. Create a difference between what you do and persons doing similar tasks. Get everyone to appreciate the difference and you will be set apart making you better.
