7 Principles of An Eagle - Dr. Myles Monroe: Principle 1

7 Principles Of An Eagle Dr.
Myles Monroe
By Kwee Lain
PRINCIPLE 1
Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can got
to the height of the eagle. 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 set out to get it. No matter
the obstacles, 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clear of outdated and old information.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 storms
wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles 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 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 newfound 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; The 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.
