The dragonfly normally lives most of its life as a nymph or an immature. It flies only for a fraction of its life and usually not more than a few months. This adult dragonfly does it all in these few months and leaves nothing to be desired. This style of life symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. By living in the moment you are aware of who you are, where you are, what you are doing, what you want, what you don’t and make informed choices on a moment-to-moment basis.
This ability lets you live your life without regrets like the great dragonfly.
This my friends is one of the best ways to explain why dragonflies mean so much to me.
When I was younger I lost my cousin to suicide. At the time I didn't even understand what that was. All I knew is that he was gone. Maybe I didn't understand suicide, but I understood death, sadness, and loss. I could see it in everyone's face. After my cousin was gone my aunt gave us all dragonfly necklaces. Like before, I didn't understand the meaning of the dragonfly until I was a little bit older, but it still meant so much to me because in a way dragonflies meant Kasey. They still do.
Dragonflies represent Change. Luck. Hope. Living in the moment. No regrets.
You never know when your life is going to end so don't take it for granted. Today might be a bad day, but the sun is going to rise tomorrow and you will get a fresh start.
The dragonfly exhibits iridescence both on its wings as well as on its body. Iridescence is the property of an object to show itself in different colors depending on the angle and polarization of light falling on it.
This property is seen and believed as the end of one’s self created illusions and a clear vision into the realities of life. The magical property of iridescence is also associated with the discovery of one’s own abilities by unmasking the real self and removing the doubts one casts on his/her own sense of identity. This again indirectly means self discovery and removal of inhibitions.
Another reasons why dragonflies mean so much. There are so many people in the world who have doubts about themselves. Do me a favor? Look in the mirror and tell me what you see. You will find that there are many colors to you. You are amazing. Find who you are.
Don't waste a minute of your life. And live life with no regrets.
