Cheetah

CHEETAH teaches us about speed and focus. Unlike other felines
who stalk, then pounce on their prey for the kill, cheetahs, the
fastest four-footed animals alive, run down their prey. Their lesson
to us is that of accomplishing our goals with speed and focus. When
we feel stuck, cheetah medicine can launch us into motion. If we are
moving with great speed but little direction, cheetah energy helps us
to keep our eyes on our goals and to find the most direct way of
achieving them. Cheetah's are very fast, high speed animals. They are incredible sprinters but do not have the endurance for long distance running at speed. So their action is short and swift.

If you too are struggling with a situation, know that Cheetah comes
to tell you that the action is almost complete. The race is done and
the goal is in sight. Be patient for just a little while and the
outcome will be known. If you have been feeling the victim in your
situation, know that this is not the case and you are in charge even
if it may not feel like it at the present moment. Wenshun and Cheetah
at this time suggest you may wish to use your own past experiences as you resolve the issue at hand. Wisdom comes through the understanding of all life's experiences. Utilizing them with patience creates the energy of The Victor and not the victim. Cheetah shares today with you this energy.

If cheetah is your animal totem, it will teach you a lot about
moving out ahead of everyone else by doing what's in front of you.
Maybe you need to do your homework before the sun goes down. "Get it done", says Cheetah, so that you will have some daylight to play with your friends. Cheetah may mention that you waste too much energy thinking and wishing when you need to get up and go. Is it that you are lazy or are you just stubborn? Or is it you don't believe in yourself enough? Believe that you have the power of a Cheetah and you will surely attain your goals.
