Life's Golden Ticket

In Brendon Burchard’s inspirational novel, Life’s Golden Ticket, he talks about this particular character who’s life isn’t going too well. His business is falling apart, his relationship with his Fiance, (who he loves deeply) is on it’s last leg, and he’s financially struggling.

I think it’s a fair assessment to say that in some aspect we can all relate to this character. And because of this I would like to share the rest of this story with you. (I will do my best to reenact.)
The Lion Tamer

So the story continues with this character going to an Amusement Park. While at the Park, he somehow gets thrown into a Lion Cage. Now he’s obviously freaking out and doesn’t understand what’s happening. He looks up and he sees a Lion Tamer perched up high on a red box.As he’s trying to make sense of it all he realizes the Lion Tamer is releasing Lions into the Cage. Now he’s really, really, flipping out. The Lions are getting closer and closer – they can smell his FEAR!

Now the Lions start swatting and pouncing on him. He’s laying there in a fetal position trying to protect himself and he’s thinking, “This is it, this is the end of my life.” Then all of a sudden the Lions just stop. They get off of him and start walking away. He can’t believe it.Dazed and confused, he stands up, looks around and he sees the Lion Tamer again. He thinks to himself, “I wonder what made him call the Lions off.” As he turns his head to watch the last of the Lions walking away, he sees his Fiance at the other end of the cage. He realizes the Lions left him to go and attack her!

At this point, something takes over and he musters up all the strength he has and runs towards the Lions and starts yelling at them, “Get Back, Get Back” as he’s pushing them back as hard as he can. He can’t believe it. He has no idea where this strength is coming from, but it’s working.

As the Lions are walking away he goes to get his Fiance, but he can’t find her. She’s nowhere to be found. Was she just a vision? Dazed and confused once more, he again looks up to the Lion Tamer and the the Lion Tamer says:

“You Finally Found Something Worth Fighting For!”

The morale of the story is sometimes we need something worth fighting for to change the course of our life. To make the difference for us. Especially when we may feel that our life is not going so well.

So the question for you Dear Friend is:

What’s worth fighting for in your life?

Sometimes when life feels out of balance and uncertain we need to be reminded that we all have something deep within that’s worth fighting for. My coaching programs are designed to help you do just that. To learn more, CLICK HERE.
