The Lion

“Leave and seek and you shall find something better than what you’ve left behind. Leave and work hard, for the sweetness of life is in hard work. Leave and remember that a lion must leave its land to find its prey, and the arrow must leave the bow to find its mark” ~ Imam Ali

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Life is about seeking. It’s a journey. To find our prey and to leave a mark in life, we must find purpose, we must constantly be moving. By staying in one place paralyzed we won’t live life to the fullest. Leave what doesn’t serve you or your life. Don’t be afraid of letting go or walking away. Sometimes to reach the purpose we must let go, of people of places of things. There is a Persian saying that translates, “If you do not have a heart of a lion, do not seek the journey of love”. Life is the journey of love. Have a brave heart of a lion. Seek and leave your mark.
