Why 'Lambs to Lions'?

Well, while I am not into astrology (I believe fate is well and truly planted in OUR hands) - I was born a Leo. If you check out what the common characteristics of a Leo are, you get me. This is something that I have been proud of. I think the good traits of a Leo are true strengths, while the majority of 'flaws' can be managed. So the Lion become quite an inspiration for me.

If I was feeling a bit down, I would get a really strong vision of a big, strong lion stalking through the plains, snarling at his predator before taking them down.

So, when I saw "rise and rise again, until lambs become lions" in the Ridley Scott Robin Hood movie it instantly struck a chord with me. I remembered those times when I used to be fragile, to gradually growing stronger and more confident.

And here we are today.

Never underestimate the power of a strong positive mental image (or negative one for that matter). Find an image that makes you feel stronger, more positive, more passionate and keep visualising it. Each day, every day. I always spend at least 10 mins each morning while prepping for the day doing this and it gets me off to a great start.
