Which message speaks to you the most today?
Before reading all the messages of this animal has to offer, I invite you to read their headline and tune in to feel the one that resonates the most with you today.
- I trust my capacities; I’m the master of my journey.
- I speak up when my boundaries are trespassed.
- I connect with the sun(s).
Start by reading that message. Then you can explore the other messages, but maybe this one is the only message you needed today.
I trust my capacities; I’m the master of my journey.
My wings may look fragile compared to the size of my body, yet they are strong enough to allow me to cross the sea. They are so powerful that I can fly in every direction: forward, backwards, and even sideways.
.
I am uniquely equipped to master my journey in every circumstance.
.
You may think that your arms are too weak, your talents too small, or your intelligence not sharp enough, but the truth is, if you trust yourself like I trust my wings, you’ll be surprised by how far you can go.
.
It’s time to strengthen your inner trust. If you already know how to do that, continue developing your inner trust. If you’re unsure where to start, remember how capable you are. Reflect on the many ways you’ve shown resilience, creativity, and adaptability throughout your life.
.
Consider the challenges you’ve overcome, the smart decisions you’ve made, the bold steps you’ve taken toward change, and the skills you’ve gained along the way. Now, write them down.
.
Make a list of every meaningful change you’ve created, every moment you've chosen growth, every time you've trusted yourself enough to act. Keep going until you fill an entire page—even if remembering it all takes a few days.
.
Let this serve as proof: you already have what it takes. Trust yourself.
I speak up when my boundaries are trespassed.
The males of my species don’t understand the meaning of «no» to such an extent that many fellow females fake being dead to protect themselves from harassment and assaults.
.
While faking death might serve you to survive life-threatening situations, it won’t help you to feel safe and free in the long run.
.
It is time to use your voice to express what does not feel right, unfair or trespass on your moral, emotional or physical boundaries. It is time to stand up for your right to exist, be respected, and be safe.
.
Rather than being passive and enduring unpleasant situations, it is time for you to stand up.
.
In some cases, this might imply leaving a workplace, a country, or a relationship to find the place and people that make you feel safe and free to be yourself. However, your sense of freedom and safety will often be an inner construction.
.
Rebuilding self-value, self-trust, and self-recognition is essential for unleashing the courage to create the change you need.
I connect with the sun(s).
Believe it or not, I have been using solar power long before humans thought about solar panels. I need the sun to warm my muscles and wings to fly properly without exhausting myself.
.
Some may say that I am guided by the sun, and in some ways, this is true, as I am guided by the love and warmth emanating from its light.
.
But let me share a secret with you: There are multiple suns in your life. Love and warmth can emanate from the elements, the cosmos, nature, animals, and humans.
.
It is time to identify the suns of your life. Do not mistake them for codependencies! Your suns are meant to recharge and nurture you. They can be a walk in the park, or a good moment shared with friends or kids. They can be a dip in the sea or crafting something.
.
My presence here reminds you that you will lose yourself if you do not take care of your energy and recharge your batteries. You may be too focused on work or your career, spend too much time in front of your screen, or spend all your time caring for someone else. As a result, your health, sleep or stress level is stretched.
.
Taking the time to recharge will allow you to stay healthy in the long run, gain better inspiration, find solutions more smoothly, and have some fun along the way.
.
It is time to identify the suns of your life and spend more time in their company or practising them.
