Once
upon a time, there was a young lion that got missing while following his mother
around and was carried home by a hunter. The hunter dropped the young lion
among the sheep and life for the lion continued. This lion will go out with the
sheep to graze and drink water.
One day while drinking
water the young lion saw a reflection of himself in the water, he saw himself
different from the sheep, but there was nothing he could do to that. Every wild
animal that threatened the sheep threatened him also, whenever they run for their
dear life he would also run.
But one day, a mother lion came around where they were and
roared, the sheep ran away, but the young lion said to himself “This is what I had
always want to do”. I can also roar; the mother lion is like the picture of
himself he saw while drinking the other day. Suddenly he opened his mouth and
roared. He looked round only to see that the sheep had all run away. Then it
dawned on him that he does belong to the lion group. And quickly, he made up
his mind to follow the mother lion and never to return to the sheep fold again.
Many are ignorant of the precious things available to us in
life.
There are different crisis confronting a man in life, but the
greatest of the entire crisis is identity
crisis; living in life without really identifying who you are and what is
available to you.
“When the purpose of a
thing is not known, abuse of it is inevitable”
This above story
reflects the state of many of us walking the surface of the earth.

given purposes and identifying their Assignment.
