The eagle is associated with many characteristics, one of them being courage and bravery.

About 2 years ago, I reached a point where I said 'enough is enough'.

Upon reflecting on my life I realised the number of opportunities I had missed out on because I thought "It's just not for me," or "it's not my kind of thing". I realised the number of things I had spoken myself out of because of fear - of failure, embarrassment, etc.

It's not until we're willing to unleash the eagle within us that we can really see just how far our capabilities can stretch. I get amazed when I think back to the number of things I used to say "I'm just not good at that" a few years ago, that I have now received achievement accolades for.

It made me realise the following:

- we don't really know what we can and cannot do until we actually do it.

- we cannot judge what we can do in the future, based on what we couldn't do in the past.

So, if the thought of doing something scares you, let that be your motivation to do it.
