Possessing A Lion's Mentality

It does not matter how rough or bad the economy of the jungle is, it will not force a lion to condescend to eating grasses. Obviously, this is not a matter of over-inflated ego nor a case of pride, but simply the knowledge of itself. In the same way, when you have the knowledge of yourself and what you are built to be, then the situations around you will not make you to crack under pressure.

When you look at the lion, you will understand that it does not care about the opinion of other animals but takes full control of his actions. Most times, people's fears are resultant effects of the opinions of others. If someone says that you cannot make it, and you believe the words of their mouth, you will develop the unnatural fear within you that will make you to lose the zeal for making moves and at the end, you will not make it. This is not because someone had initially said it but because you allowed yourself to agree with it.

One of the attributes of a lion is fearlessness. The lion did not become the king of the jungle because it is fast. The cheetah is way faster than it. More so, the lion does not thrive well in the jungle because it is strong, obviously the elephant has a bigger strength. One thing that has distinguished the lion is its ability to fearlessly confront any animal. When you remove fear from your life, you will realize that the things that you have been afraid of are not as fearsome as you think.

I once watched a particular geography documentary where a lion was surrounded and attacked by a clan of hyenas. The lion kept fighting his way through even when he was put down, he still managed to get up and kept the fighting spirit without fear and without the feeling of quitting. At the end, I understood that it takes courage and fearlessness to go through life's situation. There are times that you will be surrounded by rough situations that you will need to rise up against and put up a fight against. You will only do this if you remove fear from your life.

Even though life does not guarantee you the absence of challenges nor the certainty of overcoming it, you should be prepared to take on life anyway. You have the possibilities and chance of success if you refuse to quit and if you refuse fear from creeping it. The point you allow fear to stop you from taking steps is the point you are already certain of missing the success. You have to always have the fighting spirit within you - the kind of spirit that will not welcome a "no" as an answer. It has to be a "yes" or a "yes."

However, all these will start with you realizing and discovering yourself. Without the knowledge of who you are, you are likely to fall for who you are not. You need to understand that a certain degree of ego is actually welcomed to lead you to the path of self-realisation. However, you should be cautious not to allow it to degenerate into full-blown pride or overestimation of self.

Peace on y'all
