7 Principles of An Eagle

The document outlines 7 principles that can be learned from observing eagles: 1. Eagles fly alone at high altitudes and only with other eagles, not smaller birds. 2. Eagles have strong vision and focus intently on their prey from long distances until catching it, overcoming any obstacles. 3. Eagles only eat fresh prey and do not consume dead animals like vultures. People should also be selective about what information they consume. 4.

7 Principles of an Eagle

Principle 1
Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with other small birds. No other
bird can go to the height of the eagle. They stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles
fly with eagles.

Principle 2

Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five
kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to
get it.No matter what the obstacle, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until
he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will
succeed.

Principle 3

Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals,
but eagles will not. Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in
movies and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research
well.

Principle 4

Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the
storm's winds to lift it higher. Once it finds the wing of the storm, the eagle uses the
raging storm to lift him 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 leaves and branches of the trees. We can use the
storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them
profitably.

Principle 5

The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate,
she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back
into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for
her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the
twig. The faster
It falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then
brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher
altitude and
then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height
increasing
until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the
twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.
Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for
partnership.

Principle 6
When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff
where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on
the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the
intended nest. He flies
back to earth and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and
picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering is complete the male eagle
runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back to get grass to
lay it on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the
outside of the nest
protect it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in raising the
eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During
the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the
nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest again. Next, she throws them out
and then takes off the
soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare. When the scared eaglets again jump into
the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time
wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next,
mother
eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out
and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This
goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this new
found knowledge that they can fly. The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for
changes; The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both
partners leads to success; being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too
comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and
not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the
nest and live on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may
have thorns. The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to
grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.

Principle 7

When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he
should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks.
While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays
in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out. We
occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our
lives.
