Fun Facts: Symbolism

Fun Facts: Symbolism
The dragonfly is my most favorite insect. There was a time where I almost dreaded or feared these creatures and have come around full circle to marvel them, befriend them and delight in their presence. Throughout the world, the dragonfly has various meanings associated with its symbolism.
Did you know that in almost every part of the world, the dragonfly symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization? In most European countries, the dragonfly was seen as an evil omen. While some Native American tribes see the dragonfly as representing swiftness and activity or a symbol of pure water.
We each have many symbolisms in our own life that we have acquired over time. Examine what symbols you have assigned in your life, and whether these are serving you, or limiting you. All too often, we limit ourselves with various symbols by boxing something in and limiting its potential as well as our own.

When people are scared of change…..then something like this is labeled as evil. It is their egoic reflection.
Through symbolism, I see a change of heart concerning your personal nature. You are about to be-leaf in something New. :)
