Monday Morning Motivator ~ 11.7.11
     “Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” ~ Unknown

Soar...


     With so much uncertainty in this real estate market, are we going to walk, or are we going to soar like the Eagles we were destined to be by our Creator? We are all Eagles. It just seems that some of us have gotten so used to clunking around here on the ground we have just forgotten how to fly.

Hi Michael -

What an awesome photo and food for thought .  I confess I wobble now and then but definitely prefer to soar with grace :)

Best regards from the Q

Hi Michael....Great Point, yet as it has already been said, it's hard to fly like an Eagle when we're flying with a bunch of Turkeys...ha. Well it seems that way some days!

Have a great day Soaring above the Crowds

Eagles are pretty damn awesome. Had not heard that quote before. I'd love to soar like the Eagles and some days I do... on other days though... a little clumbsy.

Hi Michael, what an incredible photo.  Absolutely beautiful.  I would definitely prefer to soar like an eagle and avoid pecking about like a chicken.  Nice post.

Michael, I'm soaring!  Thank you for asking! It feels wonderful to do it, too--even in November--but the winds kick up and it makes it easier for some of us to fly when others are hunkering down for a long hibernation.

Michael: When you're flying high you can view the entire world from above. It's best to fly high then stumble in a small area and loose sight of the riches of the world.

It's our Tuesday Morning Howdy!

Nice quote and beautiful picture. I know that most don't believe it, but it's just a simple change in attitude tha makes a big difference in your altitude.

Hi Micheal,  I hope we are all able to fly like the eagle!  They are so magnificent to watch as they soar through the sky.

Grew up in Juneau, Alaska. Loved sharing life with so many eagles. They are great fishermen and used to dive next to our boat when my dad would toss out bait. I never took them for granted - they still  impress me.
