Too much attention makes a donkey think he's a lion.
Give someone enough praise, enough hype, enough people treating them like they're special — and watch how fast they forget who they actually are. Suddenly the person who was ordinary, average, or even struggling before all the attention starts believing their own hype. They start acting untouchable. Superior. Like the rules don't apply to them anymore.
It's wild how quickly people lose themselves when validation becomes constant. They mistake popularity for power. Attention for importance. A crowd of followers for actual value. And before you know it, they're walking around with an ego that their character can't cash.
But here's the thing about inflated egos built on external validation — they're fragile. The second the attention shifts, the second people stop feeding the hype, that false confidence crumbles. Because it was never rooted in anything real. It was a performance sustained by an audience, not by substance.
A real lion doesn't need to be told it's a lion. It doesn't need constant validation or a cheering section to know its worth. Its power is inherent, quiet, undeniable. But a donkey who's been treated like a lion? The moment the crowd leaves, it's back to being exactly what it always was — just louder and more delusional than before.
Don't let temporary attention convince you you're more than you are. And don't waste time on people whose entire personality is built on how many people are watching. Real value doesn't need an audience to exist.

Stay humble. Stay grounded. Because confidence that requires constant validation isn't confidence — it's insecurity in disguise.
And everyone can tell the difference.
