Know Who You Are (Wafrica Guest Post)

A lot of people don't know who they are.

They don't know their worth and so, they carry on with life so carelessly, living below par....living like the sheep 🐑 when they're supposed to be a lion. 🦁

I remember a story of a young lion who happened to find himself in the midst of sheeps. 🐑

He grew up with them
Ate like them
Played like them
And most of all, feared 😱 what they feared.

Whenever a lion shows up in the midst of the sheeps, they all fled for protection.
And this lion sheep also fled along with the sheep away from the big lion.
This continued on and on until one day when they were at the stream drinking water. 💧
This young lion could see a reflection of himself in the water.

He saw that he looked different from the other sheeps and looked exactly like the big lion he always fled from.
Immediately, he knew that wasn't his place.
He discovered purpose.

When next the big lion came around, all other sheeps fled off, seeking cover but he remained still and was warmly welcomed and received by the big lion into the lion kingdom. 😂 He started living like a real lion when he discovered purpose, his real self and purpose.
Until you discover your true identity, you keep living like the sheep who lost his identity.
You still run away from problems you should solve because you're yet to discover yourself.

When you discover the real YOU, you'll be in charge of all dreadful challenges.
