A lion never loses sleep over the opinions of sheep.
Think about it. Like really think about it.
A lion knows who it is + so it doesn’t need to listen to the opinion of sheep.
Both are created with different characteristics + purposes.
For the lion to think about what a sheep says, it would only forfeit it’s place, power, + authority that it was given.
For you to lose sleep over what others think of you, it only forfeits your value, power, + authority that you’ve been created with.
Once you know who you are, you don’t need to think about the opinion of ‘the group.’
Once you know who you are, you don’t even listen to the voices that try to tell you something else.
And it kind of reminds me of what Israel Houghton recently tweeted:
“Haters are like crickets. Crickets make a lot of noise, you hear it but you can’t see them, then right when you walk by them, they’re quiet.” – Israel Houghton
Know who you are. Lift your head up high. Smile + nod at the “sheep”. And just keep walking…
Sometimes a person not believing in you has more to do with a them issue than a you issue. Embrace godly wisdom and know when to stop trying to convince them of who you are and what you bring to the table. You may find that the reason you’re struggling is because you’re trying to fly and they’re holding YOU back. Albert Einstein has been credited with this quote: ‘if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid’ Who GOD made you to be is comprised of BOTH strengths AND limitations. Eagles can’t swim and whales can’t fly, but both are AMAZING in their own right. Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep. Be YOU… because you are enough!!!
