Lesson from Mother Pigeon

The  terrace of my house has become home to pigeons. 

I went to terrace today and found mother pigeon in a pot hatching her egg. 

Generally pigeon will immediately fly away as soon as I open the door. 

But today's experience was altogether different.  

She was sitting with courage in the pot. I reached closed to the pot but didn't see any movement.

Pigeon was staring at me while positioning itself firmly.  

And suddenly I realized a simple and profound fact of life. 

The same pigeon when becomes a responsible mother or caring person the actions are different although everything around is same. It's the same pigeon after all which was scared and fearful of human interventions till yesterday. What has really changed?.

It's the state or way of our being in a given situation drives our action and behavior.

If this is applicable to bird then certainly Humans can make use of this fact for their benefits.

We  have the power to choose our way of being for a particular situation and everything including our actions, body language and words gets shaped by it automatically.

It simply depend what type of person is there on the stage of life. The person could choose to be angry, fearful, guilty on one side or choose to be powerful, fearless and confident.

Time to check our own way of being at this very moment. It's just a matter of choice!
