Like i said from my blog last week, Simba did not want to return and be a King. He thinks that he is not capable of being a great leader like his father.
Even though we may not realise it, the movie Lion king taught us many valuable life lessons.
We all know that this is not the only reason why Simba does not want to go back. The real reason is that he is running away from his past. He does not want to accept the truth.
He chose to enjoy life with Timon and Pumba. He wants to forget about his duties and forget about his responsibilities as a great and future king.
Rafiki once said: “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it”
We should not run away from the past. We need to reflect on it for the lessons it offers. Simba was running away from his past. A past that he was ashamed of. It took him a while to learn that he could not run away forever. He needed to face his past and learn from it.
What are you running away from?
Why are you running away?
What can you learn from it?
