LIFE PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM THE EAGLE|-|Rex Chimex Blog

Written by: RCB editors

The Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with heavy heads and beaks. Even the smallest eagles, have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers.

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. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company and stay with people who share your vision and think alike.

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 on it, no-matter what the obstacles in your way and you will succeed.

3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things.

They Feed only on Fresh Prey.

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, 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 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. Eagles Prepare for Training.

Eagles normally build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and they eventually fly when it becomes unbearable staying in the nest.

MEANING: Leave your Comfort Zone, to achieve Dreams. Conditions are never just right, people who delay action until all factors are favourable do nothing.

6. When the Eagle Grows Old.

His feathers 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 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 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. To allow new helpful ones in.

7. Eagles detest Fear.

However, a few eagles may target prey considerably heavier than themselves; such prey is too heavy to fly with, thus it is either eaten at the site of the kill or taken in pieces back to a perch or nest. It has been observed that most birds of prey look back over their shoulders before striking prey (or shortly thereafter); predation is after all a two-edged sword. All hawks seem to have this habit, from the smallest kestrel to the largest Ferruginous – but not the Eagles.

MEANING: You should not be afraid to face Challenging or multi-complex tasks. We should be creative and be able to find ways to deal with every issue we come across.

8. Eagles have what it takes.

Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large, hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong, muscular legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles' eyes are extremely powerful, having up to 3.6 times human acuity, which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.

MEANING: You should ensure to equip ourselves, because several tasks may be demanding and only the best equipped or adapted can overcome.
