One morning, I watched this hawk hunting over a field. He easily adjusted his body to accommodate the strong breeze. And I had a wondering.
Was he lamenting the weather, wishing for sun and warmth? I suspect not. My suspicion is that animals don’t view adversity as positive or negative. They simply face it, adapt and change, and move forward.
As I watched the hawk gracefully land in the grass, I had a thought. Perhaps adversity is simply a tool. A tool that precipitates change within ourselves. Maybe it’s meant to stir our imagination and ignite our ability to create newly. A tool of evolvement…
So when adversity arises in my life, perhaps I could see it through a different lens. And allow imaginative and creative thoughts rather than worry and lament.
I suspect I’m on to something…inspired by a beautiful hawk.
