TURTLE // Animal Messenger

TURTLE // Animal Messenger
The turtle is such a beautiful majestic reptile in water.
A true master of protection, durability and⁠ 
awareness.
Turtles have been known to live for up to 100 years, and their hardened shell exterior,⁠ like other reptiles, sheds each plate for growth, however this occurs constantly rather than in one big⁠ time period of their lives.
Turtles remind us that with constant growth and peeling off of old layers,⁠ we can become stronger and more powerful and allows us to not burn out or have to retreat for long.⁠
A turtle’s strong shell allows it to live fearlessly and freely, without worry or self-limiting beliefs.⁠ They have beak-like mouths that help them to cut and break down their prey. Turtles also have⁠ amazing night vision, and their eyes are usually always looking down to the depths below, a symbol⁠ of higher perspective and heightened insight to the world around them. This could be why they⁠ seem to survive for such long periods of time in the wild, due to having few natural predators and⁠ being well-adapted to their environment.⁠
Turtles remind us to stay dedicated and determined to achieve our goals with serenity and grace.⁠ Turtles are the ultimate old soul, bringing with them the experience of many lifetimes and wild⁠ stories from the great seas. Their ancient wisdom and faultless grace touches our spirit and reminds⁠ us of the importance of each precious moment.⁠
