If you know me at all, then you know I’m a bona-fide animal lover! Yet, people are often surprised that I love peacocks as much as I do, since they’re routinely perceived as prideful and arrogant. But I think they’re actually the opposite.
To me, they’re the perfect representation of embodied authenticity and confidence - which is way different than arrogance. Peacocks don’t think they’re special. They just go around looking and being exactly how the Divine made them.
They’re a pretty cool “example” of how to move through the world - not apologizing for being who you are, and not tucking their tail feathers or spreading their wings because it might make some other “bird” jealous, insecure or uncomfortable.
Peacocks also have a rich history of mythology & symbolism across a variety of faith traditions and cultures. They’re kind of the Spiritual poster-child for qualities such as: Knowledge, Benevolence, Kindness, Compassion & Guardianship. They also represent: Self-Love, Self-Esteem, Confidence, Protection, Humor, Spiritual Awakening, All-Seeing Vision, Light-Heartedness, Immortality, Resurrection & Being Well-Balanced. Not too shabby if you ask me!
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about remembering who we’re born to be and not being afraid to show your true colors. Recognizing that it’s possible to move through the world with confidence in who we are, understanding where we come from and knowing ourselves as a child of God, without showing up like an arrogant A-hole. Ha!
You don’t have to apologize for being who the Divine created you to be. Your job is to spread your wings and your beautiful tail feathers and own it. You’re a MF’n Peacock!
