It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

Robin Sharma
About This Quote

The phrase is a reference to the fable of the lion and the lamb, in which a lion loses a competition with a lamb. The lion was about to kill the lamb when it suddenly realized that life is too short to spend it being a sheep. The idea is that you have to live your life as an adventurer, believing that every day brings you closer to finding something great or having something great happen. Most of us spend our lives being sheep, never venturing beyond what we know is safe or comfortable. It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.
