A lion lives in his natural habitat. He lives gracefully with gusto and incredible pride.

He knows how to hunt with a well-thought strategy.

NO ONE can stop him from what he desires.

NO ONE.

Now, imagine a different lion but caged in a zoo. Human beings have controlled this lion.

This lion is at the mercy of humans.

Now, imagine you are this lion.

If we are NOT using our full potential – we are like the caged lion.

We waste who we are when we deprive ourselves of our own potential.

We waste who we are when we blissfully ignore out abilities. WE waste who we are when we try to be like someone else.

We waste who we are when we have willingly caged ourselves.

We waste who we are when we don’t believe in ourselves.

Remember the caged lion —

The caged lion is deprived of his powerful nature.

The caged lion is a depressed beast.

So, let us defeat a ‘caged mind’. Let us believe in ourselves.

Let us live our lives to the fullest.

Let us BE OURSELVES 100%.

Let us become everything that we are created to BE – NOT what other people made us think we are.

There is a story of a mom and a daughter. One day, while the mom was taking the daughter to a school through a different route than they usually take – they pass an exclusive and expensive country club.

Daughter: ‘What is that Mama?’

Mom: ‘Oh! That place is NOT for people like us.’

The daughter grows up believing that she couldn’t afford to be in such kinds of luxurious country clubs.

Any sort of belief that lets our minds from achieving anything is making us caged in our minds within our own created prisons.

Remember, the caged lion is a depressed beast.
