It's not in the comfort zone that you will discover your greatness. No! When standing amidst the lions in the den, you realise that the Power in you is far greater than the jaws of death.
It is easy to believe that you are strong, wise, or powerful while standing in the middle of your comfort zone, never confronting a real enemy in a real battle.
Very few people venture beyond the walls of the safe house to discover the true beauty of this life. Those that do leave are divided into two groups: the mad dogs and the patrolling lions.
Mad dogs are annoyingly easy to identify by the incedeous noise they make. They constantly bark about their feats of strength and victory, and howl about their greatness as a way to scare off potential threats lurking in the darkness.
Sadly, the mad dog is driven by his or her fears, and fail to discover who they really are as they hide behind the noise of empty boasting.
Mad dogs easily fall victim to the crocodiles seductive smile and promises of safety and protection, only to end up as lunch.
The patrolling lions quietly walk every inch of their territory, as they survey, observe, take in and discover the fullness of their potential.
These confident lions know the true test of their ability lies along the borders. There they confront intruders and scuffle with challengers. When injured, they quietly lick their wounds until they are strong enough to patrol again.
It's in patrolling the borders of your own capacity that you develop the reputation of being courageous and powerful. One day you will realise your reputation has gone before you, as your enemies keep silent and just walk away. It's in that day you will know your hard work and resilience used to overcome difficulties has made place for you amongst the lion pride.
Be courageous my friend, take time to heal, face your battles with confidence, for these are the true makers of your "I am."
