What does it mean to have elephant art in your home? Few people know or understand the important symbolism that the elephant projects into the human subconscious. Being the largest land animal on the planet, the elephant represents four very important traits.

Strength and power: Well. This one is pretty straightforward. Elephants are huge, extremely strong, and their skin is extremely tough. Before the truck, there was the elephant.

Perseverance: Many great leaders feel that perseverance is the most important element for any type of success. The elephant is known as the most persistent animal on the planet. They migrate hundreds of miles each year, at extreme temperatures, without water, to reach rivers filled with water. Elephants never give up, no matter the odds.

Patience / Wisdom: Elephants are highly intelligent animals, considered in the same intelligence category as dolphins. They are highly evolved in relation to family, community, and higher consciousness. In addition, they live to be 60 years old, which makes them wise beyond their years.

Dignity: Being so big, the elephant does not hide very well. It was made by God to be great and “out there” for the world to see and enjoy. There is no shyness or shame in the elephant. For this reason, the elephant is considered by many to be very dignified and proud.

Throughout history, and in many different cultures, the elephant has consistently represented strength, perseverance, wisdom, and dignity. Few, if any, animals combine these four virtues as uniformly and completely as the elephant does. I wonder how you can use the elephant in your home or workplace to experience these same benefits right now.
