Lion Mentality (Motivational Speech)

Osho said, "The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others"
And the moment you're unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep
You become a lion
A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom

Sheep have no freedom
The sheep live with fear and uncertainty every day
A sheep never leads, a lion never follows
A lion is in complete control of his or her life
The lion does not accept scraps and does not get told what to do or where to go
The lion goes about his business fearlessly and with extreme competence
You will never lead a lion to the slaughterhouse, they will lead you

The lion is the king of the jungle, and it's not because the lion is the biggest
It's not because the lion is the fastest
It's not because the lion is blessed with any great advantage over other animals
It's the mentality of the lion that makes the lion the king of the jungle
What is the lion mentality?

Fearless courage
Bravery is a key trait of the lion
The lion will never surrender
The lion will never lie down and die, not even if surrounded by ten hyenas
The fight is never over until it's over
Maybe you're not surrounded by hyenas
Maybe you're just buried by bills
Maybe you need to stand up for something you believe in that no one around you agrees with
Do not give up, do not give in
Be fearless in going after what you really want in your life

Maybe you've been at it for years and nothing has worked, yet
Maybe you're tired of hunting your goals and seeing no rewards
Do not give up, you must keep fighting
You have no guarantee of success if you keep going, but you do have possibility
There is a chance
The only guarantee comes with quitting
And that is the guarantee of missing out on the life you really want
Keep fighting for the life you must have, regardless of the hyenas, no surrender

Certainty, the lion is certain, the lion never second guesses
When the lion goes in, it goes in 100%
There is nothing half-hearted about the lion
How great could your life be if you lived with the certainty of a lion?
What if you just started believing in yourself and your own abilities?
How far could you go with unbreakable self-belief?
Who could you become if there was no doubt in you?
If you trusted your intuition and just went for everything you want in life
With the same ruthless certainty as a lion hunting its prey

You can't rely on other people to achieve the results you want in your life
You are the only one responsible for your results
Take responsibility, take ownership, take action
Only you know what's best for you in your life
Only you know which path to take in each moment of your life
You must make those decisions with certainty

Freedom
The lion has freedom because the lion demands freedom
The lion has freedom because he fights for freedom
His very nature says he will die for that freedom
Perhaps there's no more valuable asset on this earth than freedom
Something you could only understand if you've experienced a lack of it
In your own life, you must fight for freedom, your own and that of others

The freedom to speak your mind, the freedom to be who you wanna be
The freedom to live on your terms, freedom means fairness for all
The freedom to be who you must be while allowing others to be who they're going to be
There is no greater value, fight for your freedom

Protective
A lion is protective of everything of value, the family, the pack, dinner
If you threaten anything of value to the lion, you better be prepared to fight
What do you need to protect? What are you willing to fight for in life?
Not physically; mentally, emotionally
What are you willing to sacrifice your time for? What or who keeps you going?
What is your purpose? What or who gives your life meaning? That is worth fighting for

Competence
Lions are said to sleep around 20 hours a day, still, they never go hungry
They get up and they get the job done
They earn their rest, they earn their success, they earn their freedom
There are great rewards for competence
In life, if you provide more value to others than anyone else in a shorter space of time
You will be rewarded, and you will be rewarded well and often
It does not matter how long you work, it matters how good that work is
It doesn't matter how many hours you put in, it only matters how much value you've created

Develop yourself into a competent machine
Work on what matters in your life with laser focus, ruthless determination
And a burning desire to do everything to the very best of your ability
That builds pride and respect for yourself
