Be Like An Eagle

By Sneha Gangadharan

Today I was going through YouTube and landed up in this documentary about Eagles. I already knew few things about eagles but this documentary took me to another perception about them that was new to me. What a majestic bird they are. So many things that we can learn from them. They are said to be the masters of sky and yes, they are because there are so many unique features that makes them different from other birds. It is said that there are more than 10,000 bird species in this world but what is that one thing, that makes an Eagle different from all of them?.So I am taking you to a tour where I can tell what makes them so special and how can we make ourselves like an eagle. So, the first thing is, eagle fly with eagle only. Oh, what does that mean?... It means that they don’t prefer to fly with any other birds that don’t match their frequency. Amazing, isn’t it?. So many of you might be thinking what’s special in that?. That means eagle only flies with eagles as they know what their species are like, they are strong, focused and have a vision. So similarly we should also be with those people who can uplift us with their positive and strong mindset, who makes us move forward in life with same mentality.

Eagles are focused on its prey while hunting them, even from very far height they can choose their prey in water or land that is in group, but their focus is on that single prey ,they don’t care if the same species are available in plenty. Similarly we should be focused on our goals whatever may be the obstacles to achieve that ,the focus should not be diverted at any cost unless or until its achieved. They are fearless birds that can even grab a prey that is double the size of them. But still they are able to fight in such a way that the prey is defeated at the end. Like wise we have to face our problem and challenges in life no matter how big it is. Once we show our reluctance to defeat, that problem leaves by its own. Because the problem itself realizes that our will is stronger than that. As I said eagles are fearless, there is one more thing that I want to tell, If we just look into the skies on rainy or stormy days, you can see an eagle flying high. But what about other birds?... they just hide in their nest or shelter themselves somewhere safe until the rain or storm passes . The eagle is the only bird who knows how to glide in the stormy wind. Similarly we should also know how to face the problems and challenges thrown by life rather than hiding somewhere safe. Because as soon as we learn how to face the challenges we will be able to fly high like an eagle.

Eagles always hunt and find fresh food everyday, means that they don’t eat what they hunted the day before. This shows that everyday is new for them so as their activities. Like wise we should also not cling onto our past. What is gone is gone for always. Better to move forward with another new day and a new hope. The most important features that an eagle posses is with their offspring’s, how they train them. Once they believe that their young ones are ready to face the life, they just remove the feathers and soft grass from the nest and this makes the young ones uncomfortable as the twigs starts hurting their body. And once they gets uncomfortable they try to fly and gradually succeeds and leaves the nest. This shows that we too need to leave our comfort zone if we need to achieve success in our life.

If we are able to achieve this eagle mindset then believe me there is no obstacles or negativity that can conquer us. Because we are flying high with our positive and fearless attitude. How amazing that we can learn so much from our own mother nature. We don’t need another human being to inspire us rather than we can observe our mother nature for so many such inspirations. This majestic bird has taught me a lot about life since I have watched this documentary and I was fascinated with it. So I have decided to be like an eagle, What about you??? Are u ready to be an eagle as well?...If yes, then I bet, you will conquer this world. You will be the master of your own life
