Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout this “lion tracker’s guide to life,” or whatever they call it. Sounds fancy, but it ain’t rocket science, I tell ya.
What’s this “Lion Tracker” Business Anyway?
Now, I ain’t never tracked no lions myself, but I reckon it’s like trackin’ anythin’ else. You gotta pay attention, look for signs, and be patient. That’s what I hear tell from them folks on the TV. They say it takes a special kind of person, someone who can see the little things, the broken twigs, the paw prints in the dirt. This fella, Boyd Varty, he’s one of them lion trackers and he also tells folks how to live their lives. Sounds like a lot of work to me, trackin’ lions and tellin’ people what to do.
Payin’ Attention, That’s the Key
See, life’s kinda like that too. You gotta pay attention to what’s goin’ on around you. If you don’t, you’ll miss the important stuff. You’ll miss the opportunities, the warnings, the little blessings that come your way. Like when the rooster crows, you know it’s time to get up and get goin’. Or when the cows start mooin’ loud, you know a storm’s a-comin’. Same thing with life, just gotta learn to read the signs.
Lookin’ for Signs, Big and Small
And those signs? They ain’t always obvious. Sometimes it’s a big ol’ lion track in the mud, plain as day. But sometimes it’s just a little bent blade of grass, or a faint scent in the air. You gotta learn to see the small stuff, the stuff that other folks miss. Like when your neighbor starts actin’ all fidgety, you know somethin’s up. Or when your kids get quiet all of a sudden, you know they’re probably up to somethin’. Life’s always givin’ you signs, you just gotta know where to look.
- Look for the small things, not just the big ones.
- Pay attention to your gut feelings.
- Don’t ignore the warnings, even if they’re small.
Patience, Child, Patience
And then there’s patience. Lord, ain’t that the truth? You can’t rush a lion, and you can’t rush life neither. Things take time. Seeds gotta grow, babies gotta learn to walk, and sometimes you just gotta wait for the right moment. Like waitin’ for the crops to ripen, or waitin’ for the fish to bite. You can’t force things, you just gotta let ’em happen in their own time. This life coach fella, Boyd Varty, he probably tells people the same thing. Patience is a virtue, they say.
The “Gift, Purpose, and Mission” Thingamajig
Now, this fella Boyd says everyone got a gift and a purpose and a mission. Sounds like a lot of pressure to me. I reckon my gift is makin’ a good apple pie, and my purpose is feedin’ my family, and my mission is keepin’ the chickens outta the garden. That’s enough for me. But I guess some folks need somethin’ more, somethin’ fancy. They wanna track lions, or write books, or save the world. Well, good for them, I say. But don’t go thinkin’ you ain’t got a purpose just ’cause you ain’t savin’ the world. Every little thing matters, every little job is important.
Findin’ Your Own Tracks
So, what’s this “lion tracker’s guide to life” all about? Well, I reckon it’s about findin’ your own tracks, followin’ your own path. It’s about payin’ attention, lookin’ for signs, and bein’ patient. It’s about findin’ your own gift, your own purpose, your own mission, whatever that may be. And it ain’t about what some fancy life coach says, it’s about what you feel in your own heart. Your heart knows the way, just gotta listen to it.
It ain’t always easy, mind you. Life throws you curveballs, just like a wild animal on the run. You gotta be adaptable, gotta be tough. But if you keep your eyes open and your heart strong, you’ll find your way. You’ll track down your own happiness, just like a lion tracker tracks down his prey. Only your prey ain’t a lion, it’s a good life, a life worth livin’.
So go on now, get out there and start trackin’. Pay attention to the world around you, look for the signs, and be patient. Your life is waitin’ for you, just gotta go out and find it.
And don’t forget to eat your vegetables and say your prayers. That’s important too.
