THE FACE OF A TIGER

Sometime ago, a lady gained access to my room with her 8-7months old baby. On entering, she noticed the large postal of nature with the picture of a tiger by the side of my bed, decorated such that it appears real and huge like a life tiger. She shouted:

Lady: Aunty Peace, what are you doing with a tiger on your bed?

Me: It’s just an image

Lady: Why such image? it’s scaring. What if suddenly; it comes out in the middle of the night and attacks you?

Me: It can’t attack me, it’s just an image, and it’s lifeless. Even if she comes out, she then might need my warmth touch.

Lady: Ah! Aunty Peace.

But I noticed something interesting, while she complained; her little baby was attracted by the awesome look of my tiger, on noticing that, I carried him from the mama and placed him on my bed. The baby struggled to find his way to my tiger but could not balance himself on the bed, so I supported and watch him play with the image. I said to the mama “Your little baby who cannot even speak recognize something you cannot recognize”.

Every time I look at the face of my lovely tiger, I got different messages and inspiration which are:

Emotion:

The tiger has a great emotion which steers up her energy. Emotion is a weapon which elevates and destroys depending on how well and effective you manage it.

One unique way to manage emotion is to consider enemies as rivals. You need enemies as well as you need friends to climb through your stairs of success. While the friends give their warmth support, cheering and encouraging you, the enemies help finding faults to use against you. Understanding this helps you take advantage of their weakness by identifying your fault(s) through them and developing them to get a better you.

Visualizing:

The tiger is one animal that spend time thinking huge times ahead of other animals. They focus on achieving what they desire and their vision is centered on different way to get what they want. 
How many people still spend time visualizing and creating ideas? how many people understand that brain and strategies (wisdom) elevates?

Gentleness:

Another thing I see in the face of a tiger is gentleness, looking easy, worrying for nothing, calm and steady.
Do you know you need not to be aggressive; else you get disorganized and completely loose balance. You need completely calmness and focus to drive to success. Don’t rush, think well, speak less and take it one-at-a-time. 

Watching documentary about the tiger, I noticed that she has a calm walking movement, yet one of the fastest runner among creature.

You don’t need to run when you have no need for it, just be calm and save your energy for the right moment.

Sensitivity:

The tiger is quick to sound and sensitive to threats. They know when to attack and when to retreat. I give kudos to the introvert than the extrovert, reason been that your mouth cannot run the same with your brain. Try it; you don’t think when talking and you don’t talk when thinking. You need to quit one for the other.

Even though there is a limit between human (domesticated) and the tiger (wide), the tiger belongs to family among wide and is seen as a hero. As human, in your family among the domestic beings; how much do you apply some natural virtues for positive influence among your kind? Learn wisely.

Cheers!
