Life Lessons from the Snake. No. 538

For the next few minutes, please leave aside any issues you might have with snakes. They’re not slimy. That whole Garden of Eden thing? That might the earliest written moment of a scapegoat. Snakes are almost never deadly. Five people died from snake bite in the US last year. Compare that with the 72 people who died from bee stings; that’s 14X more bee deaths than snake.

Here is the takeaway. Snakes shed their skins about 4 times per year. They leave their old selves behind, and move easily into their new selves. Humans, we may grow on the inside, but many of us are not willing to leave any of the old self behind. We cling to those remnants of who we used to be, scared to death to step into our new being.

Be Like the Snake.

Shed that old self and with courage, become the You that you have worked so hard to be.

I read it here.

BTW- my B.Sc from MSU is in zoology, so I do know a bit about snakes.
