Stretch Out And Reach

by B.C. Raines on 04/12/19

What do you think about when you hear the word ‘soar’? I immediately think about an eagle. I envision the eagle soaring through the sky with its wings stretched wide. The flight looks so effortless and it’s such a beautiful sight. I am a graduate of Auburn University and one of our home game traditions is the “flyover” of the bald eagle. (The eagle is one of two of the University’s mascots.) I tell you each time I see the eagle soar, it captures my attention and the sight is so majestic, so awesome. The eagle definitely gets my attention each time.

Did you know that you can soar? That’s right. You can Stretch Out And Reach-S.O.A.R- for your goals. Think about the image of the soaring eagle again. Its wings are stretched out and the eagle is moving towards its destination. It’s soaring.

Let’s try it physically, stretch out and reach. Do you feel the extra stretch when you reach? It’s the same when striving to attain our goals. Many times, it will take the extra stretch to really get us where we want to be especially if we find ourselves in a low point of our lives today. But just remember the eagle: from whatever point it starts, it's 'flyover' is still majestic!

Stretch Out And Reach…..S.O.A.R!

Awesome post! If you're like me I have been feeling uncomfortable lately. The first comparison that comes to mind is the feel you have when you are putting on your coat and you can't get your arm quite through! You know you have to keep pressing because you know there is some room at the end. You finally get your arm through the sleeve and feel a sigh of relief because you can stretch your arm out and it feels free to do what it was designed to do . As recommended, intentionally stretch starting today and you will find out you have the same rights as that eagle! S.O.A.R!!!!
