Duck you say? Duck???? really???? What the Duck? Well that is who pops up in the seventh spot today bringing with it a whole lotta wisdom and insight for life as we know it! So if you have ever paid attention to a Duck you would have noticed not much stops them from accomplishing what it is they set out to do. They are very determined and insightful to how to go about things… and more importantly they are determined that no obstacle shall be too big to overcome.
We can learn a lot from these amazing creatures, balance for one thing comes to mind and stop for a moment and think about it… think about how their bodies are put together…heavy front, two legs, and the wings… yet they are buoyant and can manage just fine. they are also fun and carefree at times, especially the ducklings as they follow their siblings and mom learning all about life and wondering at all the bugs they chase.
So today…be a little more carefree about life, learn to balance by allowing what we were born with to assist us, our own imperfections are our perfections! We each are amazing individuals that are unlike any other, we contribute who we are to the world in amazing ways. So let that uniqueness and strengths, weaknesses, beauty shine through your souls for the entire world to see!
Be who you are meant to be in Positives! The world is full of wonder if we only will open our eyes to bear witness to it… embrace it during this holiday season and then carry it through to each and every day!
Duck tells us that sometimes life can be hard… sometimes we would rather just quit than do whatever it is that lies before us. Sometimes it may be people that we are just tired of and want to give up on them….but today Duck says yes the bar may be set high but we need to gather that inner strength and simply push through it. We are not the only ones with issues, we are not free of making mistakes, that is the beauty of life… We ALL have lessons to learn and should remember we are not all the end all of any given situation. So Figure it out, wade through it, wing it, do whatever it takes to take the next step in your life!
Ducks are amazing and they teach us all about balance… and we need balance starting the week off… they are buoyant, they maneuver up and down, in and out and all the way around to meet the task, without complaint. They teach us to keep moving forward, pushing through all the struggles.
Duck is and has been one of my favorite teachers! It speaks to us of diving into your deepest emotions in order to reach a calmer and more peaceful state. They teach us about how to get past adversary and accomplish our goals, sometimes by looking outside of the box to do so. To never stop trying, dreaming, moving ahead with those dreams and goals that you envision. They bring with them the medicine of living for the moment, and living large, loving, laughing.
Think of times in your life, or situations when you aren’t sure how, when. or where… and when you say I just can’t, think of the Ducklings that follow their mama’s no matter how high the step..how deep the dive… how fast they have to run to keep up… they do so without hesitation.
Many Blessings to You All this Holiday Season,
