They're graceful and beautiful, energetic and peaceful. They have a lot of symbolism in Japanese culture. They symbolise wealth, prosperity, family, love, strength, etc. The traditional story is very inspiring too. A group on Koi were swimming up the Yellow River against the current. They came to a waterfall and many Koi fish turned back as it was too hard, but some continued and tried to swim up the waterfall. They swam for 100 years and finally one Koi made it to the top of the waterfall. The gods recognised his perseverance and dedication and turned him into a golden dragon.</P> <P>It helps me when I feel like I'm struggling, to think that after all my hard work of getting through a hard time I'll be rewarded.</P> Thu, 26 Jul 2018 12:50:46 GMT Kittyyy00 2018-07-26T12:50:46Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/bb-social-zone/spirit-animal/m-p/383317#M60390 <P>So random.
