As it is an Asian and African beast, the elephant, and elephant figurines, have conquered the mental imageries of a myriad of cultures. As myth has it, many think that the simple image of an elephant conjours about specific feelings and traits to its environments. In just a bit I will share with you why this earthbound mystery is idolized and often worshipped in many civilizations.

Strength and Power: The most evident attribute of the elephant is its size and muscle. They are simply the heaviest and fiercest mammals in the jungle. Before there was the Hummer, there was the elephant.

Perseverance: How many folks want to be associated with a quitter? nobody. The elephant is known as the most tenacious animal on the Earth. To be able to endure in these temperatures and partake in journeys hundreds of miles every 12 months, is surely an exploit, to say the least. Position your elephant statue on or close to a water source like a copper fountain in order to set the elephant in its most fortuitous habitat.

Patience / Wisdom: Elephants endure to be very old, thus are known to be really sagacious and very unhurried. Forgiveness, acceptance, community and relationships are just some of the ideals depicted by the elephant’s smarts.

Dignity: The elephant’s large stature, combined with millennia of evolution, have extinguished any marks of shyness from its psyche. The more massive and more assuming an elephant is, the more it implements its destiny as the astonishing hulk. Elephants will not tip-toe around the jungle or be quiet because they don’t want to appall other smaller animals. Maybe you’ll look upon the proud elephant the next time you look in the mirror and experience dreadful self-image mentations.

Confucius himself could not incarnate these four desirable traits better than the puissant elephant. If you would like to nibble on a Tenacity, Self-respect, Wisdom, and Power sandwich daily, without the fat and cholesterol, surround your environment with the elephant in any way viable.
