Consistency is what creates truly

meaningful changes, you don’t do it
once, it’s a daily practice, a lifestyle.

The Lions’ Tactics
Lions love to eat gazelle meat. But it’s very difficult for lions to
catch gazelles because the latter run so fast. So instead of trying to
catch their quarry, a group of young lions will form a line and try to
herd them in a particular direction. The gazelles easily outrun the lions,
heading in the opposite direction towards supposed safety.
Except they are unknowingly being steered towards a deep, grassy
area where a group of older lions are hiding. The older lions are too old
and tired to be part of the chase; many are missing teeth and would
never be able to catch their own meat.
But when the gazelles are driven within close range, the old lions
jump up and ROAR loudly. The startled gazelles, responding
immediately to a new threat of imminent death, turn and run in the
opposite direction. Right back into the mouths of the young lions.
Relate the story to self-development.
Use a whole yellow paper.
