LIFE LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE LION KING
The Lion King is a moving story of a circle of life that portrays
a lion cub’s journey to adulthood and royal throne. Simba, the son of a powerful King Mufasa, grows up in a very caring
family and a protected environment. He is an honored prince who is far from
danger. His happy days turn into tragedy when his cunning and evil uncle Scar murders Mufasa and
influences Simba to run away from the kingdom. Simba lands in a jungle where he
learns to live a carefree life with friends Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the
meerkat. The story rolls on for some time and takes a turn the day his father’s
spirit visits him and asks him to go back and defeat the wicked Scar to repossess
his Rightful Throne.
The movie is worth watching
for more than once and has many life lessons to learn
from.
- Realize who you are and unlock your true potential by tapping into the power of your deepest motives and values. When Simba comes to a new jungle, he enjoys the aimless life, forgetting his own true self, his glorious past, and the responsibilities to him. So the lesson learnt is ‘you are exactly the person who you think you are.
- Hakuna Matata, the Swahili phrase for “there are no worries”, is one of the most important life lessons that one must endure during their lifetime. When Simba runs away from the kingdom, he meets two comical character Timon and Pumba, who teach him to stay away from worries (Hakuna Matata). They help him to replace his worries by to happiness, love and hope.
Worries never steal tomorrow’s pain or solve the problems; instead, they empty our strength and settle a cloud on the face of joy!
- “No Worries” is an important life lesson but it should not hold us back from the truth. Simba keeps himself far from the truth in the name of ‘no worries’
- Some people arrive in our lives only to satisfy their own vested interests; they try to persuade us to walk on the paths of evil and petty.
- Life is all about treating others the way you wish to be treated. Do not measure people by their possession or profession but by their significance. It not only creates loving and lasting relationships with friends or family but creates our own value.
- Deep inside we all are very powerful to accomplish great things. All we need is the realization that ‘I CAN Do It’. Simba never thought he could be able to defeat his nefarious uncle Scar. When Samba and Rafiki show him his true potential, he rises to his greatness and kills him in the end.
- Sometimes we feel we are lost and nobody needs us, while the truth is just the opposite – they need you more than anything else even more than you to yourself.
- Past really hurts but it is in our hand to run away from it or learn from it. If you run, the past will keep haunting you. We need to face the situations with courage! Simba runs away from his past but at the end, he faces it and corrects.
