The average American retires at 67 years old, and the Average life expectancy is 78. That leaves you 11 years of so-called freedom after working for almost 50 years.
This is the same pattern a Zoo animal follows. They allow themselves to be captured, domesticated, broken and sentenced to live out their lives in a cage for the benefit of others!
Don’t get me wrong I love the Zoo. It was a great place to take my sons when they were growing up to see what an ex-Wild Animal looked like.
Like most people, we loved looking at the Lions. The Lion is possibly the most majestic creature on God’s Earth.
There is a huge difference between a Zoo Animal and a Wild Animal.
The Wild Animal is Free to pursue their Destiny. They live life on their own terms and to follow their Passion. Their lives are risky, creative and full of energy.
The Wild Animal accepts responsibility for their lives because they understand nothing will be given to them.
A Wild Animal knows that if they are to succeed they must hunt, work, fight and produce. They live each day to its fullest, and they will never go quietly into the night!
Animals in the Zoo are quite the opposite. Everything in their life is given to them.
They have traded Freedom for Security, and it shows in their body language every second of every day.
The Zoo was created for Animals who have been broken, tamed, reliant on others, and de-clawed.
These types of Animal have lost their Destiny and have settled into a half-life full of complaints and regrets.
This will happen to you if you allow your Job to Break and Tame you. It’s your attitude that separates you from being the Zoo or Wild Animal.
The confusing part about these two types of Animals is that they look the same from a distance, but they could not be MORE different.
The Wild Lion is the King of the Jungle and living on top of the World! He or She has a great attitude, full of energy and loves what they are doing.
The Zoo Lion is a Domesticated, De-Clawed House Pet hopping you drop scraps from the table all the while complaining about how bad they have it.
Which one are You?
