The Positive Club

A young lion, as the fable runs, was one day playing
alone in the forest while his mother slept.

As the different objects attracted his attention, he
thought he would explore a bit and see what the great
world beyond his home was like. Before he realized it,
he had wandered so far that he could not find his way
back.

He was lost.

Very much frightened, he ran frantically in every
direction calling piteously for his mother, but no mother
responded.

Weary with his wanderings, he did not know what to do,
when a sheep, whose offspring had been taken from her,
hearing his pitiful cries, made friends with the lost lion,
and adopted him.

The sheep became very fond of her foundling, which in a
short while grew so much larger than herself that at times
she was almost afraid of it.

The foster mother and her adopted lived very happily
together, until one day a magnificent lion appeared,
sharply outlined against the sky, on the top of an
opposite hill. He shook his tawny mane and uttered a
terrific roar, which echoed through the hills.

The sheep mother stood trembling, paralyzed with fear.
But the moment this strange sound reached his ears, the young
lion listened as though spellbound, and a strange feeling
which he had never before experienced surged through his
being until be was all a-quiver.

The lion's roar had touched a chord in his nature that
had never before been touched. It aroused a new force
within him which he had never felt before.

New desires, a strange new consciousness of power possessed
him. A new nature stirred in him, and instinctively, without
a thought of what he was doing, he answered the lion's call
with a corresponding roar.

Trembling with mingled fear, surprise and bewilderment
at the new powers aroused within him, the awakened animal
gave his foster mother a pathetic glance, and then, with a
tremendous leap, started toward the lion on the hill.
The lost lion had found himself.

Up to this he had gamboled around his sheep mother just
as though he were a lamb developing into a sheep, never
dreaming he could do anything that his companions could
not do, or that he had any more strength than the ordinary
sheep.

He never imagined that there was within him a power which
would strike terror to the beasts of the jungle. He simply
thought he was a sheep, and would run at the sight of a dog
and tremb1e at the howl of a wolf.

Now he was amazed to see the dogs, the wolves, and other
animals which formerly had so terrified him flee from him.

There is in every normal human being a Sleeping lion. It
is just a question of arousing it, just a question of something
happening that will awaken us, stir the depths of our being,
and arouse the sleeping power within us.

Just as the young lion, after it had once discovered that
it was a lion would never again be satisfied to live the life
of a sheep, when we discover that we are more than mere clay,
when we at last become Conscious that we are more than human,
that we are gods in the making, we shall never again be satisfied
to live the life of common clods of earth.

We shall feel a new sense of power welling up within us,
a power which we never before dreamed we possessed, and never
he quite the same again, never again he content with low-flying
ideals, with a cheap success.

Ever after we will aspire. We will look up, struggle up and
on to higher and ever higher planes.

O.S. Marden
