Eagles are very interesting creatures to observe, they way they do things is so amazing. Here’s a look at four life lessons that we can learn from the behaviours exhibited by eagles

Adapt and change – When the eagles get older and their energy starts to fail them, they are known to fly to mountainous areas and shed off their feathers, break their beaks and also remove their old talons! One interesting thing to note is that there is always a new growth of the beak, talons and feathers. This happens in about a period of five months and the eagle is “reborn” again with renewed strength and vitality ready to conquer the air again for many more years to come. What we learn from this act is to adapt to the changes in our surrounding and change or acts.

Visionary – Eagles have a very sharp vision, they can always identify their prey from a distance while soaring in the air. People should also learn to be visionary, to see into the near and distant future and go for their dreams.

Overcome challenges – The eagle has been known to soar way above storms and keep flying ahead as opposed to other birds that always hide whenever there is a storm coming. The eagles actually use the storm to push themselves higher. Life throws to us a lot of challenges from exams to lack of money but will you just sit there and wait for a miracle to happen. No way! You study hard, look for a job and eventually you will get to your desired “destination”

Educate other people – Young eagles have been known to learn how to fly by observing how their parents fly. At times some young eagles are reluctant to fly and the parent eagle

prompts them to fly by holding food in their beaks while flying around the nest. This usually makes the young ones to fly out of the nest and this is repeated till they become perfect. The lesson that we can learn from this act is to share and educate people on whatever talent we possess so that they can become better.
There are always lessons we can learn from the surrounding and the eagle has good life lessons that we can emulate in our daily lives.
