The Better Fly Blog Series:
Multifaceted Eyes
You’ve
landed. Now what? Perhaps it’s taking you a moment to level
with the fact that you had to ground your flight. It’s a bit of a rehabilitation, and you need
to learn to walk again. You look at your
wings and they look as good as new, and every time you take the glance you’re
disappointed to know that they’ll just be sitting there for a while. The weather is just not good for flying, and as
we know from the first blog, there’s a beast in the sky.
Welcome back
to The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician and The Better Fly Blog Series. In this second blog we’ll spend some time
talking about nurturing the mental garden where your dream resides. This garden is going to require more than
just flowers; more than just good thoughts.
You’ll need to populate this mental garden with insects too. Today, we look at the dragon fly and its
multifaceted eyes. I’ve learned that
dragon flies actually have 30,000 facets within their eyes and have the ability
to see you going and coming. Right away
you can see the benefit of having some of those around. After all, what’s a dream without facets, and
what’s a vision without eyes.
Begin to
think what living creatures you may want in your garden, and why. For example, the dragon fly usually
represents flexibility, transformation, and adaptability. All of these are of great importance in this stage
of rebuilding confidence and strength as well as walking your dream forward and
watching its shape begin to change.
Remember in the last blog we talked about getting special instructions
on how to get around the beast. Could it
be that these instructions could cause your dream to take on a new shape and
life? If you adapt the qualities of the
dragon fly, then transformation could be only a few miles away, but it you’re
thinking about how you got up in the air the last time, you could be grounded
for a length of time.
In business,
and some business industries, swift changes in trends, methodology, and
regulations can put everyone on notice.
While you’re on your feet, take some of these things into account. See what you may have missed, and even take
time to deal with and respond to some of the shifts you didn’t have a chance respond
to as you were journeying. All of this
can help to prepare you for a better flight when you take to the sky again, but
if you’re intent on the same pattern and level of flight then next time you may
not have to encounter a beast, but simple storm clouds could weigh you down.
As I stated
already, one of the benefits to the dragon flies multifaceted eyes is the
ability to see you going and coming. Now
apply this to your life and business.
Can you catch a glimpse of what’s going and what's coming? What if you’re in perfect position to see
what’s on the way out, or to usher in what’s coming? This is the benefit of inviting the dragon
fly into the space where your dream lives and breathes. And now that it’s got your attention, stop
and see it buzzing around. Imagine also
that it’s expected to bring you a full report of what it’s seeing. Maybe it can see some of your doubt. Or maybe it can see you refusal to
adapt. Listen to what it’s
reporting. Actually picture this. Picture yourself being informed, and then
decide how to respond. Decide what the
next few miles will look like and what's coming out of it. Because this is a living workshop; all the way up to
your next take off.
