Strike Your Ladder For Success !
Every animal, including the snake, has characteristics that bear some resemblance to those of humans. If you have ever encountered a snake in your life, you may have noticed some characteristics but may not have linked with them at the time. In any case, the following are some of the characteristics that are extremely evident in snakes and can be applied by us in our daily lives. Snakes are among the most venomous species on the planet. There are several well-known species, ranging from the huge anaconda of the Amazon to rattlesnakes of the Americas, cobras of Asia and Africa, and the taipan of Australia.

What Things can we Learn from Snakes: Unlocking their outlook towards life?
1.Don't let your boundaries define you-
- Snakes do not have legs, which is self-evident, but it teaches us an essential lesson. Despite their evident restrictions, they may survive in a wide range of settings, from desert sands to trees to the ocean. They are attackers, overpowering their victims and becoming one of the most iconic species in the animal kingdom. They employ their strengths to become successful, whether they are lethal or use constriction.So, how about you? Do you define yourself by your weaknesses or your strengths? Do you have a long list of reasons that you use to justify your lack of success, or do you focus on what makes you special and have faith in the traits and skills that God has placed upon you?
2.Just because you have the ability to advance and attack does not imply you should-
- Snakes are dreaded by practically everyone, and for good reason: most snakes are venomous, capable of killing an elephant, let alone a man. Despite their reputation as one of the most violent reptiles, the majority of them are not aggressive and do not bite. However, they will use their bite as a last resort when all other options are exhausted; similarly, we humans should not be drawn to violence as the first option and should be wise to use all other options before resorting to attack, which may result in life-threatening injuries to ourselves.This altogether tells us to TRY TO FIND MORE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES, AS MATURITY AND SELF-CONTROL WILL HELP YOU BUILD STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS with loved ones around you .
3.Make a decision and follow through on it-
- Snakes' forked tongues are one of their distinguishing features. They smell and perceive what is going on around them with their tongue. Because they have limited eyesight, they rely on this sense to locate their prey. When they stick their tongue out, one of the forks on the tongue detects a stronger odor than the other. They then proceed to the stronger side. They test the air again after a short distance to check that they are traveling in the right direction. This cycle continues until they find their next meal. In the same way we must regularly check to ensure that we are on track with our objectives. Before making a decision, consider whether it will get you closer or further away from your goals. Once you've made that decision, take action to ensure you're gaining momentum and progressing toward your goal.
Incorporating these lessons from the world of snakes can lead to personal growth, better decision-making, and a deeper understanding of our own potential. Just as snakes navigate their environments with precision, we too can chart a course towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life by embracing these valuable insights.
