Don't Worry
Don't Worry About Things That You Have No Control Over
Many times we take for granted how often we should study, not making use of the resources we have freely before us, and wait until problems arrive to try and fix things.
Though it is true we don't know everything, and many parts of life will surprise us, we must still be willing to fight worry with confidence in who we are, and what we are here to do to help make this world a better place.
It is easy to worry, and to not move too far through life because of the fear of something potentially painful happening. In doing this one must realize that they are potentially causing the world more pain.
Start Today And Make A New Ending
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
The most important thing we will leave before we go is our imprint, our legacy, and our story. What will be told of your story? Will people use your story of an example to try and live out their life? Will people take caution and stay away from your methods and your way of life to avoid leaving behind a legacy like yours?
The answer to these questions will be made by the choices we make on an everyday basis.
Swan Meaning and Swan Symbolism
Swan Meaning and Swan Symbolism
Symbolic Swan Meaning
Our first symbolic clues from the swan can be taken from observing them in nature. They are waterfowl, closely connected with water, even nesting near the water.
Water is symbolic of: Fluidity, Intuition, Dreaming, Emotions, Creativity.
In this respect, we can intuit the swan's appearance in our lives as an arrow pointing to our dreamier depths and feelings. Furthermore, we get the sense of balance from swan meaning as it lives harmoniously amongst three of the four Aristotelian elements. Grounding herself on earth, lofting to great heights in the air, and winding through waters with magnificent elegance.

The swan may also bear messages of love and relationships. They pair for years, sometimes male-female unions are sustained for a lifetime. When the swan glides upon the waters of our awareness, it might be a symbol of love, and a reminder of the blessings found in our relationships.
Swan Meaning in Cultural Symbolism
The concept of partnership is further expressed on a divine level in Hinduism, wherein the swan graces vibrant traditions as the Hamsa bird. In the Saundarya Lahari (translated: "Waves of Beauty," it's a text filled with beautiful mantras from the Hindu perspective) two swans (Ham and Sa) pair together, swimming around in the divine mind "living on honey from the blooming lotus of knowledge." Isn't that a lovely concept?
In the Celtic mind, swans and geese were observed in the context of movement. Specifically, the keenly observant Celts noted their transitory nature and the swan's pattern of migration. Consequently, the sign of the swan urged Celtic intuition to consider changes of mood (water) and heart (love).
Swan meaning is also linked to Celtic deities with solar associations, like Belanus and Lugh. As solar animals, the swan represents the rising glory of a new day as well as the farewell of an old day with the setting sun. Fittingly, the Celtic goddess Bridgid is also associated with the swan as her grace is expressed with equal elegance in the form of writing (poetry) and song.
Celtic myth also indicates when inhabitants of the Otherworld required passage to the physical land of life you and I experience every day, they would take the shape of the swan. Furthermore lore states they would travel out of the Otherworld in pairs, thus reinforcing the theme of union, bonds and partnership.
In Celtic art, gold and silver chains are often depicted around the swan's neck. I've read where this is symbolic of supernatural appearance of divine energy or the descent of gods to earth. I like to think the chains are symbolic of a harmony between cosmic forces; gold representing the sun, and silver symbolic of the moon. Perhaps the Celts recognized the essence of gods within the guise of the swan, and honored that power in the bird.
We see further themes of transformation and deific embodiment in Greek myth wherein Zeus (Jupiter in the Roman pantheon) transformed himself into a swan in an effort to slake his uncontrollable passion for Leda.
Swan Meaning in Dreams and Folklore
Symbolic swan meaning continues the theme of transformation in the tale of the Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson. Mislabeled from birth, the little duckling lives his life with the heroic heart of a swan. Indeed, after growing strong under the nurturing of kind humans, the duckling is set free, and sees its image for the first time in a reflective pool of water to discover he had "transformed" into a lovely swan.
Who doesn't love this little fairy tale? It reminds us of our inherent glory, power and beauty (as the duckling was always a graceful swan). At the same time, the tale encourages us to have faith and have a persistent heart while pursuing the gifts that are our birthright.
In dreams, the swan asks us to spread our wings and take flight into ourwaking dreams. She also encourages us to strengthen our relationships, as well as make new, long-lasting bonds with people whom we admire.
Swan Color Meanings
White swans in dreams are symbolic of cleansing and purifying ourselves and our lives. Black swans indicate deep mysteries within us that are longing to be set free to express themselves creatively.
Cross The Road
Don't Pretend
Never forget that what you are is a vessel. You are not limited to the thinking of the world unless you allow yourself to be limited. You will not be stopped from achieving your dreams unless you allow yourself to be stopped. No one can ever make you not be you unless you give him or her that power.
Be that vessel of hope and change that is deep in your heart. Give to others way more than you take, and give from the most positive place in your heart that you can possibly give.
Take This New Day
Snap out of it! Today is the day where you must rise and say I will live every day alive henceforth! Today is the day you can rededicate your life to becoming the person you know you were always meant to become. Today is the day you can put away your inhibitions and your excuses, and show the world what you are really about!
Quit wasting time, be active, be vigilant, be aggressive. Neither the end of today, or the morning tomorrow is promised to any man. Make your mark while you still can and live your life!
Having a bad day? Remember this!!
To Be Beautiful Means To Be Yourself
Today is the day to claim the life that you desire in spirit, and to live outside of the lines that have only kept you caged, voiceless, and mediocre.
You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of any man, you are here to be the greatest you that you can be!
