Lion's Den. Mine is like a case of a person thrown out to several challenges. As the lion tries to devour each fiber of my flesh, I honestly feel the excruciating pain anyone can imagine. It's the pain that no matter how hard you try to fight back and get out in your solitary predicament, you just can't. Lions are there to feed. Vicious and selfish they are, and your role is to feed not only their empty stomach, but their ego. Challenges are good. It keeps you in your toes. It makes you realize that you're just human. But apart from that one can put that the "den" is like a stage. You look at it with entertainment value - as you try to compete, you shine or you just lose your own luster. There's a lot of lion in me. But it doesn't mean I'll be in trouble, the least to be worried about as a matter of fact.

Buying Time. Patience is okay. For some occasions, it's mere presence can only show non-sense of urgency. One must know how to draw the line.  It helps to think the end-goal, the long term ramifications of decisions you wish to act upon.  Thus, it helps to have that time to spare in planning and contemplating.  If I feel its dragging me 1,000 miles from my aspiration, will it give me justice to just grab what's in front of me? Are things not so important but primordial in my current existence instill hope? Or are this mundane things the real meaning? I'm grateful that time is on my side.

Grab Your Anchor.  I felt troubled and bewildered on this current plight. I've looked for signs and clues to what this should lead. It's not that easy waking up day by day and your existence solely depends on your faith.  My anchor is the essence of my existence. I hold on to it. For without it, I'm just a speck in the universe, wandering like a dust propelled by gustiness of wind to destination I do not know. I hold on to love.

Refuge to Laughter. Help your heart as you go through what you have to go through. Indulge to things that will take you away from sufferings. Life is too short to be spent in romanticizing sorrows. Life is not all about it, enjoy the other side of the craziness. I laugh at my craziness and it puts balance to this perspective.

Sweet Revenge. Your lions are happy when they see you weak and vulnerable. Your sweetest revenge is to prove them otherwise. When you are confronted by your lions inside their den, it's either you fight back or just be devoured alive. Give a good fight in such a way you muster your strength and channeling it to profound thinking. Lions can attack me, but I can just do the same. Whoever wins, doesn't matter for now. In the future my alliance to myself and faith will surface as the the sole winner.
