Resilience in the Face of Doubt: Lessons from Three Male Antelope

In life, we often encounter symbols and messages that hold deeper meanings for our spiritual growth. At the time of this writing, I was experiencing a “wobble” the contraction that comes after a time of expansion. I had an amazing week last week, but it also marked the one-year anniversary of losing my father. I was blessed to be with my father in consciousness at the time of his crossing, but it doesn’t make the grief any less.  

This week I wobbled because someone questioned my work in the “spiritual” field and felt I was throwing away a successful mainstream career for something that no one cares about. As I was driving down the highway while contemplating those words, I saw three male antelopes on the side of the road. I believe that we receive symbols and messages from nature.  

I this short blog, I explore the spiritual significance of these majestic creatures and how their symbolism intertwines with the challenges and doubts we face when pursuing something that your friends or family may not understand, especially if in the spiritual realms.  

• The Grace and Elegance of the Antelope: Antelopes are renowned for their graceful and elegant movements, symbolizing beauty, and finesse. To me, seeing three male antelopes at that moment served as a reminder to embody grace and elegance in all our endeavors. 
• The Swiftness and Agility of the Antelope: Just as antelopes swiftly navigate their environment, we too must adapt and move with agility in our spiritual business pursuits. The sighting of the three male antelopes encourages us to embrace quick reactions, seize opportunities, and stay agile amidst ever-changing circumstances. 
• The Power of Teamwork and Cooperation: Antelopes are social animals, relying on teamwork and cooperation within their herds. Similarly, building a supportive network of like-minded individuals can enhance our pursuits. The presence of the three male antelopes signifies the importance of collaboration, reminding us to seek assistance, guidance, and camaraderie along our path. 
• Harnessing Masculine Energy and Strength: Male antelopes exude masculine energy, representing vitality and strength. The sighting of three male antelopes reminds us of our own inner power and assertiveness. It encourages us to tap into our strength and confidently pursue our spiritual business goals, despite external doubts or discouragement. 
• Trusting Intuition and Overcoming Doubt: Amidst our spiritual business endeavors, doubt can creep in, particularly when we encounter messages suggesting success is nearly impossible. The antelopes serve as a symbol of trust and intuition, urging us to believe in our own abilities and navigate the path with unwavering confidence. 
• Embracing Resilience and Perseverance: Antelopes are resilient creatures, capable of overcoming challenges and obstacles. Seeing the three male antelopes inspires us to embody their resilience and persevere in the face of adversity. It's a gentle reminder that setbacks are merely opportunities for growth and that success in our spiritual business is attainable with determination and a resilient mindset. 

To me, the sight of these three beautiful creatures offered profound insight into my aspirations and can serve as a message for you as well. I choose to embrace the grace, swiftness, and strength of the antelopes, while fostering teamwork and cooperation with like-minded individuals. Trust my intuition, overcome doubt, and remember to remain resilient in the face of challenges. By aligning with the symbolism of the antelopes, we will find the courage and inspiration needed to merge your true self with the self you present to the world and empower others to do the same.
