Totem Animal for January 2018
TOTEM ANIMAL for January 2018
The Sparrow
The Sparrow brings you the message that although you might feel small and insiqnificant, you are a survivor. The Sparrow knows how to travel light and not take life too seriously. People also don’t take the Sparrow seriously and thus ignore them. They fade into the background, just another everyday occurance, but this makes them formidable and true survivors.
Just because you don’t feel noticed or that you are not important to the world, doesn’t make you invisible. Do what you need to do in the background, without ego and you will become great in your own authenticity.
You don’t need to be in competition with those more prominent than you to have your own successes. The Sparrow reminds you that the everyday drudgery is part of the road to greatness. This little bird just worries about the seed and breadcrumbs on it’s path today. Tomorrow takes care of itself. It teaches absolute trust in what shows up on a given day.
This little bird brings you the message to pay attention to detail and to enjoy the simple things in life. It does not mind hopping around with it’s eyes to the ground, while other birds waste time to make themselves appear big and fight over one crumb.
The Sparrow is adaptable and lives in any environment where they find their food and a place to nest. Be careful not to sulk over what is now, for it can change. Be positive and chirp with every little treasure found.
The Sparrow may seem dull, but is the bird that have been written about the most and have survived since before Biblical times. It teaches us to never give up hope, but also, that we don’t have to fight to survive if we keep things simple and mind our own business. Create your own world within the world and joy will be yours.
