Are You Flapping Like a Duck?

We live out in the country, about 15 minutes from town. So that provides lots of opportunities to see wildlife on the drive.

We have many hawks and I enjoy watching them soar through the sky or sit majestically on top of trees or power lines as they oversee their domain.

Yesterday I laughed out loud though as I watched a mallard duck take fight. While I always enjoy the bright colors of mallard ducks, it’s amazing how hard they have to flap to get going!  They look quite comical when you see them flapping away!

Sometimes that’s how I feel…

All “flap” and no “soar.”

Over the years, I’ve learned that setting up a morning routine that inspires and challenges me is the best way to take flight so that I can be soaring at some point in the day.

How about you?

Are you going to soar today, or just flap around?

Maybe take a few minutes to be still, so that the soaring is that much easier 🙂
