A Truth-Seekin' Florida Man
#3 - My Manatee Spirit Animal
I obviously have some serious issues with manatees. Not sure but I may be on the local manatee watch list. My psychiatrist says it's incurable and recommends shock therapy. Or get a dog.
Not jus' your normal screw-up type Florida Man, but like a truth-seeking Florida Man, tryin' to figure it all out. And asking for manatee advice when necessary.
Hi there. Today we're gonna talk about manatees again. I actually got a question from my audience, which actually is just me, but anyway, here it is. Truth-seekin' Florida man, how come you like manatees so much? Does that mean anything? Could that be significant?
So I did some more of the Googling, like was kind of thinking, hmm, what if manatees are my spirit animal?
So I did a little google on manatee spirit animals, and I was actually thinking there was no effing way that manatees are a spirit animal. It's like, come on man. That's not a serious spirit animal. You need something to nice like a bird, a fox, a bear. I don't know. Anyway, it turns out you can have a manatee as a spirit animal, and it turns out there's a lot of websites telling me all about that.
So after intensive research, at least 20 or 30 seconds, looking at all those manatee websites, I found the best description of Manatee as a spirit animal, and what I found was effing amazing.
If a manatee is your spirit animal, the first message is - slow down. Oh, check box, baby. Oh yeah, Florida man? Slow down? Oh yeah. That is totally perfect. Yep. Mm-hmm.
You are going way too fast and missing essential details. Holy shit. It's true.
Rushin' can lead to unintended mistakes that could prove very detrimental. So just breathe and stand strong. Walk. Don't run toward your goal. God damn. This is describing this here, Florida man, perfect!
Then it says, while you are taking things at a slower pace, manatee suggests that you simplify your life. Oh yeah, baby.
Get rid of the clutter. Yep. That is a major challenge for this here Florida man.
Wear a pin that says, stop me before I volunteer again. I'm down with that too.
As you simplify, you'll find a lot of anxiety disappears. Sounds good.
Manatee sometimes brings a little luck. When they visit you, it's a spirit animal along with prosperity. Holy shit, sign me up. I need luck. I got some prosperity, but I could use more!
Often, these two blessings intertwine to bring new relationships or new experiences. Keep your mind and your heart open. Sounds good.
Another lesson from the Manatee is, determining what you hunger for in your life. Everyone needs sustenance. But not just to sustain the physical body, you also have a mind. Uh-huh, and a spirit. Yep. To satiate a proper diet, something that can wait, but you should do it every day like a vitamin for a wholeness.
So what fills that hunger? Perhaps it's reaching out and changing a bit of your world for the better. Oh my God, that is awesome.
Anyway, Manatee's most significant threat is humans. Yep. Actually, humans most significant threat is humans. So we share a lot with them manatees there.
Here, Manatee animal guide tells you to be wary. There is someone who does not have your best interest in mind. Oh yeah. Like the government, like all them other people, like them non-Floridians. Like most of them, Floridians, too.
They will try to tear you down to where you feel dead inside. Move away from that situation. And find sanctuary. Oh yeah, baby. Sanctuary is my little house in Florida. Uh-huh.
So closes with - on the upside, many Shamonic Traditions reveal Manatee is a healer. Some tribal medicine people use their bones to cure disease. So if you feel bumped, bruised, or in distress, Manatee comforts you.
God dang it all. That is right on the nose. How did they do that?
So let me just give a little Florida man summary of all of that Manatee Spirit Animal says:
Slow down, don't rush.
Breathe.
Walk. Don't run.
Simplify your life.
Get rid of shit.
Stop offering to help too much.
Get lucky and make money without working too hard.
Keep your heart and your mind open.
Look for what feels that spiritual hunger.
Change the world for the better.
But watch out for them humans.
When you get injured, find sanctuary in a good old Florida home with a dock.
And think on the Manatee when you need comfort.
God dang it all. Bingo! Manatee is this here Florida Man's Spirit Animal.
100 per cent.
Bye Now!
