An article about the metaphor of living like a lion.

Introduction
If you’re a young man living in this world, it’s possible that you’re realizing that nobody is coming to help you. You have to help yourself, and this is what self-improvement is here for. And, if you’re a young man, you especially know that not only do you need to face your challenges from your own life, but soon enough, in a few years, you’ll have to face the challenges and responsibilities of your whole family.
This is the ultimate truth of our beings, we live to pass on to the next generation, and then we disappear.
But, if nobody is coming to help you in this world, and if you have to help yourself, you should at least do it correctly. You should have the gut, the might, to stand strong in faith infront of your challenges, with the faith that you’re going to surpass these challenges.
This is why you need to be a lion.
Do you know Rocky?
Rocky is a series of movies created by Sylvester Stallone. The first one, named Rocky I, who was first presented in 1976, was a huge success. It presented a local, underdog boxer named Rocky, who was in reality a loser with no hope for his vacant life of unpurposeful work, box, sleep, repeat, who one day had the chance to fight the champion of the world, who chose him for a sort of « publicity campaign » to boost his fame and power in the boxing industry.
And so, Rocky gets on the ring, gets knocked down, loses, but always gets back up. Sure, he lost, but he is still up there, alive, and ready to fight. Through the movies, Rocky re-fight the same guy, becomes the champion of the world, then befriend him, before being trained by him. And, this former champion, named Apollo Creed, the former rival of Rocky now training him, speaks throughought the WHOLE movie about « the eye of the tiger ».
In fact, Survivor, the band that is in charge of creating the main music of Rocky III, the main theme, named the music « Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger ».
This « Eye of the tiger » is described as a look that translates ruthlessness, power, like a tiger watching his or her pray. This concept can be applied to life. You could have the « eye of the lion », but that’s not interesting. We want to directly BE a lion.
Just like Rocky who is a force of good, justice and hope, who is a warrior on the battlefield of the boxing match, getting back up and always getting knocked down, you need to be a warrior in real life, a lion, a demon.
One of Jordan Peterson’s (Canadian author and philosopher, a great of our times) most famous quote is « Be A Monster. And then learn to control it ».
If you’re a young man, you should be erect with life. You should be ready to fight the world, protect the people you love and give everything you have to others and to you. If you’re 20 years old and you’re not working out regularly, not going to the gym, not eating clean, not working on yourself, not reading…. What are you doing? You’re in your prime years.
And what do you do of the most powerful years of your life (your 20s-30s)? You… throw them in the trash, or throw them around in parties, clubs, alcohol, smoking, drugs, addictions, scrolling on social media, looking at asses on Instagram… Really?
BE A LION. Be RELENTLESS. Have a mental picture of you literally being a lion. Be a literal lion, no pun intended. Be a predator to your goals and problems.
Be calm, wise, careful, loving, strong, purposeful, but also have the capacity to KILL.
Someone who doesn’t have the capacity to kill, to be aggressive, assertive, violent, is not someone who’s good. A weak man who doesn’t hurt people because he is too weak isn’t a good man. It’s only someone who’s weak.
Someone who has the capacity to kill, to be aggressive, to be assertive and violent, but yet doesn’t use this capacity to unnecessarily hurt other people, is a good man. If I can kill you but I love you, I’m good. If I can make a massacre in the street but I am a force of good, I’m a good person.
If I’m fucked up, and I want to hurt people and do horrible things to people, but I’m too weak and so I’ll get beaten, and this is my only reason to not do it… then… I’m just weak. I’m not good. I’m bad. I’m weak. I’m a piece of crap.
So, be just like Rocky, and listen to Jordan Peterson. By the way, if you’re interested in having girls (which you probably are), women are turned on by your capacity to be a killer. If they don’t feel this killer instinct inside of you, they’ll feel let down. This killer instinct is the ability to kill, if needed. If you see a cockroach and you suddenly scream and jump around and ask your woman to kill it, then… she’s going to be pretty unattracted. But if you take your balls and go and chase the cockroach around without fear, this is what she will love to see.
So, remember, be a lion, be a monster, be assertive, strong, purposeful, but also loving, calm, and wise. Have the ability to kill (martial arts are great for this), but give love. Keep this ability in case it’s needed to protect your loved ones or other people, but be wise, calm, and loving. It’s all about controlling your own monster.
You should be able to compliment someone on their clothes, and smack the shit out of them right after if they started aggressing your woman, friends, or family members.
