It is so very true, there is a fine line between animals and humans..
When choosing which totem that suits you, remember this.. do not forget to factor in all your "Human Traits" with your animal totem.
Yes we all wish to be like Brother Bear or Wolf or Eagle, but our characters and personalities may not fit that certain animal as a reflection of us and our inner spirits.
It never is shameful or less powerful to choose a less powerful totem, or) a less popular than the ones who you hear and see when Native Americans are mentioned and talked about, just to receive a certain respect and admiration from others.
Fitting a totem to ones true personality is not as hard as it seems..
Just make a list of your strongest traits with your natural personality in everyday life.
Then make a list of your weaker traits (Not Faults). Example.. Not wanting to voice your thoughts or opinions or getting involved in situations are NOT faults. Just lesser traits.
Stronger traits would be like: You are a leader and great organizer with groups, or you are a good speaker before a number of people. You truly care for others and animals for their welfare.
Putting all these together can and does match up with an animal counter part, even down to the smallest to the largest and vice-versa. So have fun and discover yourself in every detail, and be proud of who and what you are now and can become later!
