Just now while I was concentrating on something else, I was startled by a small bug jumping into my lap. I got up quickly, looked at it and realized it was some kind of tiny grasshopper.

Grasshoppers move by jumping. It tells you that it is important to get off your haunches and move - take a chance and leap forward. When you have grasshopper as a totem, you may find that things don’t flow as smoothly for you as they do others. Instead of making progress step by step, you progress in one major leap. Grasshopper knows when to sit still and when it is time to leap, so trust your instincts to know when to make a move.

People with grasshopper as a totem have an uncanny ability to leap into successful ventures, especially when you go by your instinct. Sometimes grasshopper will show up if we are not listening or if we are afraid to make
that leap. Remember a grasshopper always leaps up or forward. It doesn’t leap backward.

That makes a ton of sense to me right now, which is why I’m posting it here. (Source)
