Satya Colombo writes about 'cultivating lion heart' and explains how challenges are here to push us. If we don't change when we're ready to change, we end up wallowing in self-pity and wasting time:
Bad stuff is here to push us to up our game, to make big changes, and to push the edges. It’s just a universal function of transformation.
What happens when you try and ignore it..? It just continues getting worse until you’re forced to change, or become a broken, lost soul.
Think back to bad jobs you knew you shouldn’t be in, but you stuck with ’cause you “needed the money.” You knew it wasn’t right, and it just kept getting worse until you were booted, or you jumped.
Bad relationships? Same deal. You learned what you had to learn, and then it was time to leave. But you were addicted to the drama, sex, co-dependency, whatever (and they were too). So it kept going on until one of you put your foot down.
If you’re in a similar situation right now — or maybe you’re wondering why stuff just “isn’t working” in your career, love, life-mission — try capturing the spirit of lion, and focus on cultivating the great lion heart. Challenges are there for a reason — sometimes you’ve got to just put your foot down, and step up.
Being fearless doesn’t mean you have no fear, it means you’ve got enough guts and heart-strength to go for it anyway. Dive into your destiny — claim it — and let magic happen.
