There are only two animals on the planet that the creator identified himself with. The first one is the eagle and the second animal is the lion and when I identified those two animals as his favorite to identify himself with I recognized. I better study these two animals because if he is the leader of the universe and I want to be a leader on earth. I better find out the nature of these animals and also the up attitude of these animals and I discovered that both of them are the kings of their domain. The Eagle is the king of the bird Kingdom and the lion is the king of the animal kingdom.
But let's talk a little bit about the lion. The lion has what I call the spirit of leadership and this word spirit here is referring to attitude, everybody's attitude. A leader has an attitude that makes him or her different from followers. Now the lion is the king of the jungle but the lion to me is a great source of encouragement to all of us. I want you to write this down remember this as long as you live. Number one the lion is not the tallest animal in the jungle. Number two the lion is not the largest animal in the jungle. Number three the lion is not the heaviest animal in the jungle. Number four the lion is not the smartest animal or the most intelligent animal in the jungle and yet when he shows up they all run away. Here one of my favorite quotes that and I believe it really brings home the point. An army of sheep led by a lion will always defeat an army of lions led by a sheep. And the answers to that dilemma is this because leadership can transform cowards into violet warriors. The right kind of leadership can transform a timid into bold people who are fellows leadership is that powerful. Leadership can walk into a camp of depressed people on in 20 minutes they have turned on into unbelievable powerful armies because leadership determines everything.
The lion is the king of the jungle because of one word attitude. Everybody attitude write it down attitude. The lion has a different attitude that makes every animal afraid of him. Now we don't want to lead by fear but it does take respect for you to become a leader. When I use the word fear in the jungle we're talking about respect. The elephant respects the lion. The hyenas respect the lion. The giraffes they respect the lion. What makes these massive animals respect such a small cat? The attitude is the difference. For example a lion will see an elephant and the thing that counts with mind one word lunch. I could eat this thing and he acts the way he thinks now here's another amazing mystery. The elephant is larger bigger stronger more powerful heavier and more intelligent and yet when the elephant sees the lion one word comes to mind eater. Attitude is a product of belief. You cannot have an attitude beyond your belief. So your attitude comes from your belief system. The lion is the king because of what he believes about himself.
