Title: Life Lessons
To Learn From The King Of The Jungle
Do you watch documentaries on
lions?
If yes, then you must have seen
that they dominate their territory and are apex predators.
Lions are among the strongest
animals in the world, and no one dares to confront or challenge them.
They are called kings because
they have a touch of royalty in everything they do. From eating habits
where 20-25 royal members dine at the same "table" to conquering huge
lands.
A lion always has a bold
attitude and lives like a true ruler.
But their life is full of
obstacles and problems. There is less space for errors, as one mistake may make
them lose their life, reign, or offspring.
Also, hunting is not an easy
task; their success rate is only 17-19 percent. Compared to human beings their
quandaries are bigger because they never get a second opportunity.
But, have you ever seen a
depressed lion or one who wants to give up?
They always struggle to hunt and rule lands, but they never quit.
Sometimes they fail in hunting
a zebra, a gazelle, and a wildebeest. But do they give up? No. They try hard
and succeed in hunting.
So, what motivates them to not
surrender to the harsh life?
The answer is SURVIVAL.
The only thing that keeps them
moving is survival.
Many lions lose their reign,
children, and queens to other lions, but they never give up on life.
Here are six life lessons from
the king of the jungle:
1. Your Goal Is The
Only Way To Survive
Lions are born in the jungle.
From day 1, they are taught to hunt and to dominate and that becomes their life
goal.
Whatever they do in the jungle,
they have that at the back of their minds.
They are not made to be meat to
any other, but others are made to be meat to them.
In like fashion, every man is
born for a purpose, a life goal; we do not all have the same purpose.
A life without a purpose is
like a rudderless ship, it definitely sails to no where.
Set a life goal and work hard
to achieve it; consider that there are no alternatives.
As lions are born to hunt and
rule; acknowledge that you are born to accomplish your life goal.
Consider your purpose and work
as a source of motivation.
They will keep you going
through good and bad times because fame is temporary, but work, pleasure and a
sense of achievement are permanent.
“Do not be embarrassed by
your failures, learn from them and start again.” – Richard Branson
“Attack your goals like
your life depends on it”
because it surely does
2. Fail And Evolve
Lions fail eight out of ten
times in hunting, but this makes them fine-tune their skills; thus, they can
catch bigger prey to feed their family.
A Lion does not take no for an
answer neither does it run away from its challenges; if it fails to achieve a
set goal which is to hunt down a prey due to some sloppiness, it goes back to
itself shell to finetune its hunting skills so that it fails not the next time.
A Lion does not temporize or
rationalize or theorize or look for a scape goat neither does it play the blame
game, when it fails in a given task, it takes the full responsibility for the
failure and takes the necessary action to ensure that such never repeats itself
Likewise, we should also
embrace our failures and evolve each time we face them.
We must study and analyze our
failures and make sure to not repeat them.
As Jack Ma has rightly said,
“If the guy only checks himself, yeah, something wrong with me here, something
wrong with me there. Then, this guy has hope.”
Also, we must follow this law
of nature: ‘Evolve and survive’ to achieve success in life.
3. Focus Is The Key
When lions go on a hunt, they
make less noise and focus on the prey. They move on tip-toes, gliding through
the thick jungle, not even rustling a leaf.
They always have an element of
surprise and keep everything low to make their raid successful.
Now imagine, if a lion makes
noise, will they be able to hunt?
The answer is no! So, what do
we learn?
Too much talking makes us lose focus.
Don’t tell everyone about your goals and what you are doing, keep it low and
completely focus on your aim
Instead of blabbing about your
intentions and what you are determined to do, go start doing at least one of
them. Let your success announce your intention.
Evidence is the end of argument
4. Always Trust
Each Other
A pride of lions always back
each other in good and bad times. Rather in tough phases as an individual they
contribute more to the survival of the pride. They all are willing to die just
for one member of the pack that gets attacked.
To them "injury to one is
injury to all"
Likewise, when we have found
members of our tribe, we should commit to them and learn to practice like the
Lions do.
We should also learn that strength is in the pack.
It’s necessary to not break
each other’s trust for a short-term gain.
Also, we must support each
other in overcoming tough problems and situations.
5. Survival Is
Everything
When they have been well fed,
Lions like to take a rest but even at that, they are always at alert because
they know that the only game in the jungle is that of survival.
Lions don’t harm anyone without
any reason. But, when someone tries to mar their territory, life, and family,
they leave no stone unturned in giving a tough fight.
Like Lions, we must recognize
the fact that it's a tough world out there and while resources are not
necessarily limited but the availability is limited and thus survival of the
fittest is the game to play; therefore we should concentrate on our own
betterment, we should work to create our own realities, to make the impact we
want to make in the world, to leave it a better place than we met it.
However, if someone is trying
to ruin our career or life, then instead of getting disappointed we should
fight back and overcome such smotherers.
6. Have Fun In Life
Lions go through a harsh life
filled with everyday challenges. But they don’t let them ruin their daily
moments.
They always enjoy every minute
with their pride members.
They play with each other and
take care of everyone.
You should also make sure to
relish each moment of your life.
Leave your stress and worries
in your workplace, and when you are at home, relish the time with your family.
You only live once and so while
at it, enjoy it, have fun, smile, laugh out loud; you do not know how it will
be on the other side so make effective use of that which you are having
already, always live in the Now, be ever present in the present.
Lions teach us to dominate
problems in life and live like a true winner.
As someone has rightly said,
“If size really mattered, the elephant would be king of the jungle.”
Similarly, every animal’s life
is full of struggle, and we can learn a lot from them to become successful and
prosperous in our own lives.
So next time you watch a
documentary on lions, try to learn from them.
