“Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.” – John Webster

Soaring Solo: The Eagle’s Guide to Thriving Alone

When you think about soaring through life, it’s easy to Picture a majestic eagle gliding effortlessly across the skies, basking in the sunlight and enjoying the view from high above. But what’s even more interesting? This bird of prey doesn’t seek comfort in the company of others; it prefers the lonely heights, soaring solo while crows, daws, and starlings flock bewilderingly together down below. Honestly, the eagle is the introvert of the bird world.

Now, let’s be clear: we’re not dismissing the joys of companionship. Being part of a flock has its perks, like safety in numbers and the occasional gossip session about which crow stole which shiny object. But just like the eagle can’t be bothered to hang with the squad for mundane matters, sometimes you have to embrace the beauty of flying solo in your own life.

Going it alone has its advantages. Remember those times you wanted to binge-watch that series everyone is raving about, but your friends decided to interrupt your plans with their needs? (Don’t worry; we’ve all been there.) The eagle knows that the quiet moments spent high above the noise can provide clarity you wouldn’t find in a crowded tree.

Flying solo allows for self-discovery. It can explore new territories, craft its unique flight path, and stick its talons into whatever interests it without needing permission from a flock. Life becomes a personal journey of experiences, where every gust of wind is a thrilling adventure that makes your wings stronger. Imagine that rush of independence — thrilling, isn’t it?

But wait, before you think being an eagle means you have to go it completely alone, remember this: solitude doesn’t equal loneliness. Eagles do connect with others, especially during the breeding season (because even solo acts need a partner sometimes). However, they don’t rely on the company of a flock to thrash through life’s challenges. Instead, they take the high road — literally. They know when they need a break from the chatter of the roost.

So how can we channel our inner eagle while navigating a world that thrives on being part of a flock? It starts with recognizing your own desires. Tune into what makes you, well, you! Whether that means taking a solo trip, diving deep into a passion project, or simply enjoying the freedom of your own company, the key is to embrace it. You’ll soon find that the heights you’d feared climbing are much less daunting when you take the plunge all by yourself.

In a world where it’s often easy to stick with the crowd, we might just need to steal a page or two from the eagle’s playbook. The next time you feel the desire to soar away from the flock, take a cue from our feathered friend: embrace the space in between. You never know, you might discover that the skies are even more thrilling when no one else is around to steal your thermals.

So, let’s raise a toast to the solo eagles among us! May you navigate your life on the winds of independence, confidently soaring above the rest. And remember, while the crows are busy gossiping about shiny things, you’re up here, mastering the art of flight — all on your own terms.
