be an eagle.

I was in a boring zoom meeting earlier. It's a webinar for students organization units recruitment orientation. As to what I said, it was boring but this thing about being an eagle caught my attention as one of the University professor discussed all about it on his closing remarks.

Of course what he told us was about Organizations but I added some insights and personal thoughts on his closing remarks. Here, allow me to share to you what I have learned and why we should be like an eagle.

We all know that eagles are powerful. They are some of the largest birds. They are known to be a prey and they are at the top of the food chain.

So in this article, let me give you 6 traits of an eagle that we should apply in our lives.

1. Eagles fly at high altitudes

Eagles can fly at more than 10, 000 feet. They fly in high altitudes, not with low flying birds and small birds.

Eagles are at the top. And we should also aim for that. Soar high. Aim higher. Let us not limit ourselves for flying just on our comfort zone. Like eagles, let us take the lead to go higher. Let us toughen up, gather our courage and aim for greater heights.

1. Eagles have strong vision

Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on objects that are three miles away. When an eagle find his prey, he will not move his focus until he captured his target.

Like an eagle, we should focus. We should have our goals and be goal-oriented. We should focus on our goals, be determined, and don't stop until we achieved those.

We should have a clear vision for the things that we want to achieve. And once we have that clear vision, like eagles, let us focus on those and only on those until we finally reach it.

1. Eagles feed only on fresh prey

Eagles feed only on fresh preys. They never and eat dead things.

Let us be like eagles who filled our minds with great things. Who spends our time learning new things.

Like eagle, let us keep ourselves away from dead things or to the things that don't actually make sense. To the things that is not helpful and beneficial to us. Instead, let us engage ourselves with activities that can help us develop our skills and talents. Let's associate ourselves with people who can make us grow.

Let us avoid things that are not doing us any good. Let's only feed on fresh things, just like the eagle.

1. When storm clouds gather, eagles got excited

When storm clouds gather, eagles got excited. They are using the storm wind to lift themselves higher, higher than the clouds.

Let us be like eagle who doesn't back down just because a storm came in. Let us be like them who treats storm or challenges as an opportunity to go higher, to aim higher and be better.

Let us keep on going, aiming for better things amidst the storm. Storm can really be a struggle for us to perform well but like eagles, let us use the storm as an opportunity for us to be better and stronger.

1. Eagles rejuvenate

Eagles rejuvenate. This is also called as the rebirth of the eagle. Feathers are replaced throughout an eagle's life. It is a gradual process. The process will also require the eagle to fly into a high mountain and sit on its nest. There are also eagles who knocks their beak against a rock until it plucks out.

The rebirth of an eagle is a 150 days of hard and painful process that they have to endure or else, they'll die. But after the process, they are already restored into a new state. More stronger, powerful than ever.

Let us be like eagle who can endure such process. The way to success is hard but we have to endure and just go on with the process. With our endurance, we will surely appear much better and stronger after we've undergone the process of rejuvenating, just like the eagle.

1. Eagles invest in training others

Eagles invest in training others. Mother eagles throws their eaglets out of the nest, pushes the them out of a cliff so that they will fall into the air as the mother's way of training them how to fly. When the mother feels like the eaglet will fall, she will fly so fast to catch her eaglet. Mother eagles keep on doing that until their eaglets learn to fly on their own.

Let us be like eagles who invest our time on training others. It is such a delight when we already reach our success but we can be more delighted when we can also see others, specially our loved ones striving for success, with us guiding them all the way through it.

Let us be like eagles who don't limit our capabilities and use it only for our own benefits. Let us teach others and help others. Let us train others and guide others. Let us catch others if they are going to fall and help them stand up and walk until they can do it on their own.

Let us be like eagle who invest our times to train others.

Now that we know what traits does eagle have. Let us try to be like those. Let us try to be like an eagle. Let us be an eagle.
