The Lion- No Matter The Economy of The Jungle

People sometimes say that life is unfair. Life challenges have a way of making a man lose hope and live sub-standard, accepting just anything no matter how demeaning. That is where defeat begins- from the mind of course. Our attitude to life and the way we think affects what we achieve, that is why the saying, “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”.

Let us take a moral from the Lion. The lion lives in a group called Pride. It is regarded as the king of the forest. Every animal dreads it. It does not feed on animals already killed. It kills its prey and feeds on it. It is much undaunted and approaches life without fear. The lion said and I quote: "no matter the economy of the jungle, I can never eat grass, it is not pride; it is just who I am". The lion is not engineered to eat grass. Period!















Now, how does this relate to us we may be asking? For great achievers, we should arm ourselves also with this attitude. We have a life to live and integrity to protect. The pressures of life should not make us cave in and live in depression. Some people go to commit suicide because they feel they cannot cope with life anymore - I call them losers. Winners do not quit. Again, some people meddle into things they should not get into in a bid to find a short cut out of life's challenges, and end up getting themselves webbed. We are supposed to face our challenges and not to avoid them. I strive for excellence. I might not have got to the height I reach out for in life, but I know I am getting there gradually but consistently. That is my attitude. Therefore, no matter what the economy of the world today is, I cannot mess up. I shall excel. It is not pride; it is who I am. I hope this is your attitude also... See you at the top.
