Most struggle to live inside their ears.

They can't figure it out. Understandable. It's hard. Really hard.

But there's a way to get out of the rut. To become someone with a lion's mindset.

Let's start with two animals that live inside us all, whether we like it or not!

Think of the difference between lions and sparrows. The way they go about life & where they live.

A sparrow can see its absolute favorite meal (big juicy worm) on the ground, and what does it do?

It looks around, flies near, begins to peck, hears something, and flies off.

Then it flys near again. Looks. Moves. Looks. A step closer. A step back. Look. What? Move. Retreat. Go near. Peck.

Move. Run. Fly. Retreat. Look. Step ba...you get the picture.

Could you enjoy a meal like that? Of course not.

The sparrow is influenced by each tiny movement. Every breeze, shadow, and twig invades its consciousness.

It jumps around, looks around, dances around, & does hundreds of things besides just sitting down to its favorite meal.

The lion, on the other hand, is the ultimate in living between its ears.

It walks out onto a prairie with big, hairy, smelly creatures everywhere.

Giant hooves and tusks and horns and teeth all around. Neighing, growling, roaring, chirping, howling going on everywhere.

And the lion chooses its spot, plunks down and goes to sleep. Sleeps till it's hungry.

Then gets up, stretches and limbers up, and lets everyone know with a thunderous roar that it's hungry and about to kill its dinner.

Wow. What a vast difference between the two.

The lion kills something and eats it right there on the spot. With a pack of hyenas howling a few yards away, wolves growling, huge birds flapping their wings and waiting impatiently for the leftovers.

Do you think the lion hurries? Nah.

Lions always eat at the same speed.

The vultures and hyenas and wolves can wait. And they will wait.

The lion takes its time, eats till its full, then walks off a few feet where the air smells better and plunks down on the ground again to sleep.

It's up to the others to draft the leftovers away where they can try to eat in peace.

Now think about it.
Which one are you?

A sparrow? Or a lion?

Do you live between your ears? Or "out there" in the air where the roars and howls and growls of life are a constant source of bother and worry.

You have a daily choice.

Living between your ears is no easy task.

Building your strength. Developing your mindset.

And of course, we all fall into a sparrow mentality from time to time.

But the true champions have a "lion's approach. They find a way even when it's hard.

If you adopt this mindset, you'll stand out. You'll accomplish more. You'll inspire many.
