The Lessons of the Wolves

The attitude of the wolf can be summed up simply: it is a constant visualization of success; Focusing their energies toward the activities that will lead to the accomplishment of their goals

  One of the easiest things you can do to bring more success to your life in any area is to visualize it.  High performing athletes do it…and so do wolves.                                                                                                                                                      

   The attitude of the wolf can best be summed up simply: it is a constant visualization of success. The collective wisdom of wolves has been progressively programmed into their genetic makeup throughout the centuries. Wolves have mastered the technique of focusing their energies toward the activities that will lead to the accomplishment of their goals.

   Wolves do not aimlessly run around their intended victims, yipping and yapping. They have a strategic plan and execute it through constant communication. When the moment of truth arrives, each member of the wolf pack understands his role and understands exactly what the pack expects of him.

   Wolves are extremely efficient, persistent and skilled pursuers of goals, able to size up a challenge quickly and develop a realistic plan for achieving their goals.

   Because of training, preparation, planning, communication and a preference for action, the wolf's expectation is always to be victorious. While in actuality this is true only 10 percent of the time or less, the wolf's attitude is always that success will come-and it does.

   Wolves are seldom truly threatened by other animals. By constantly engaging their senses and skills, they are practically unassailable. They are masters of planning for the moment of opportunity to present itself, and when it does, they are ready to act.

   The wolf does not depend on luck. The cohesion, teamwork and training of the pack determines whether the pack lives or dies.

  Wolves, although they run in a pack, are actually one of nature's best examples of individual excellence contributing to team strength.  Successful "pack leaders” build strong groups around the strengths of the individual members; every wolf does not strive to be the leader in the pack. Some are consummate hunters or caregivers or even jokesters, but each seems to gravitate to the role he does best. This is not to say there are not challenges to authority, position and status - there are. But each wolf's role begins emerging from playtime as a pup and refines itself through the rest of its years. The wolf's attitude is always based upon the question, "What is best for the pack?"

   Wolves are renowned for their ability to stay on track, whether in search of food or shelter. Instinctively, they know that distractions could doom their survival.

   Wolves are actually one of nature's best examples of individual excellence contributing to team strength. By nature they are team oriented with a strong sense of pack loyalty and the ability to communicate through multiple modes.  Working together wolves focus all their energies toward the activities that will produce the results for both the individual and the group.
