Why the lion roars

To my friend who is stressed at work,

Do you know why i opted to wait at the bank for over 2 hours yesterday?
I was trying to train myself to be very patient with people.
When it seems like they are incompetent, simply obnoxious or whatever it is they do that may potientially irritate, annoy, aggravate or stress anyone, i want to maintain my disposition, be patient, understanding, even kind and still keep that smile
So that no matter what is happening around me, I stay the same person and as cheerful as the sun in the rain

I can't say that i know the depth of what you, my friend is going through right now because unless i walk in your shoes i can't tell where it itches (and besides we wear different sizes so i won't even feel the itch like you do) but human nature is the same everywhere - we all want to be happy!!!!

Fortunately, happiness doesnt come like that.

Why fortunately? Because we each can create it! So often in life, we need to take up that responsibility to ourselves and just do it; instead of allowing others create unhappiness around us.

To stop blaming others and situations for our unhappiness is maturity.

Your life is beautiful when you look at it beyond the maze of the present arrangement of events

Reasons are at the most excuses, we each have what it takes. No body was born happy! I wasn't. But i have made it a part of my life just like talking. I believed in myself, understanding that i could and with God's help i took happiness by force.

Why? Because, it is not a passive action. The Lion Roars!!! It has its weaknesses but in that one "Roar", It emphasizes all of its strengths without effort.

My dear friend, believe in yourself and project it. wherever you are coming from, remember that you couldn't help it but please help the next steps you take. The past is over lets not overflog it, When the sun rises in the morning does it say."...... yesterday at night; the moon took my shine, i am too weak, does anyone remember that i was there first, that i even set, i will not rise today, infact am i still the sun, are my rays strong enough to light the world?" No it doesnt! It rises morning after morning with all it's glory and brightness.

So should you

Just like the sun doesn't compare to the moon even though they are both constellations. So u can't compare to anyone else

You are a lovely person. Appreciate all the fine qualitiies you have. Thats the starting point to believing in yourself. You will always have faults but do you appreciate the you that you are right now? Do you believe in that person? We all have faults, i have mine.....stop putting your weak points above who you are and can be.

If you can't love yourself today what makes you think you will tomorow?
If you don't learn to be happy today how will you be happy tomorow?

Go out there and roar with cheer, create your climate around you and perhaps one day, in the not too distant future, you may meet a friend in need and you will confidently pass this along truth on because you recreated Beautiful, Confident, Kind, Patient and HAPPY You!
