Be Like a Lion

Silence Doesn’t Mean Weakness — It Means Focus

By Hazrat Usman UsmanPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

Be like a lion.
Walk alone,
but never lost.

Speak less,
but when you roar—
let the silence before it
scare them more
than your voice ever could.

The lion
doesn’t chase approval.
It waits,
calculates,
strikes
only when the time is right.

Be like that.
Let them think
you’re sleeping.
Let them mock
your quiet.

But deep inside,
let your blood boil
with vision.
Let your claws sharpen
with every insult.

You are not made
to please.
You’re made
to rule your ground.
To fight storms
with still eyes,
to carry pain
like a king
carries his crown.

When the world
gets loud,
be louder
in your silence.
When fear
knocks hard,
show it teeth.

They don’t have
to believe in you.
You were born
to believe in yourself.

The jungle
doesn't ask
who's watching.
It only respects
who survives.

So rise.
Without noise,
without permission,
without doubt.

Be like a lion.
Because even alone,
you are still
the king.
