In the jungle:
- The African Bush Elephant is the biggest;
- The Giraffe is the tallest;
- The Fox is the wisest; and
- The Cheetah is the fastest;
Yet, the Lion is the KING of the jungle even without ANY of these qualities.
Why?
Because:
- The Lion is courageous, is bold, walks with confidence, dares anything and is never afraid.
- The Lion believes it is unstoppable.
- The Lion is a risk taker.
- The Lion believes any animal is food for him.
- The Lion believes any opportunity is worth giving a trial and never lets it slip from its hands. Lions never give up. They can pick up a fight with animals bigger than them and lose too, but that does not bring them down. After all, it is about their survival, their pride's existence, their territory. Life is a rollercoaster, full of moments when you do fail and that is part and parcel of everyone's life.
So...
- You don't need to be the fastest.
- You don't need to be the wisest.
- You don't need to be the smartest.
- You don't need to be the most brilliant.
- All you need is courage
- All you need is the will to try.
- All you need is the faith to believe it is possible.
- All you need is to believe in yourself, that you can do it.!!
The Lion sleeps for 20 hours & works for 4 hours & yet eats meat.
But the elephant works for 24 hours & eats grass.
Your life's strategy matters most in your approach to circumstances & situations for you to be a champion or winner always.
Work together
Stay in the Lion's mood! That's the mood for winners. They move in prides. They work together, support each other when they go for the kill. When the strength is enough, only then can you achieve bigger goals. You do need help on any path of life. If you need help, ask and when someone asks for help, be there. Consult family, friends or whoever to get going. Maintain good relations with people around you (no matter how selfish that sounds). And do remember that it works both ways, so be there for them too or else you will be chucked out of the group.
Don’t back down
You must know how to and when to defend yourself. In the end you have to survive like a lion. Instead of constantly yelling and complaining, remember that a lion roars only when he has to and that shakes the world around him. That one single roar makes a difference! Be loud, only when you have to. Choose your battles wisely but never take anyone’s nonsense.
