Fatherās Day Reflection: Lessons from The Lion King
Last night, I watched The Lion King live on stage. No matter how many times Iāve seen it, something about seeing Mufasaās death live hit differently. Watching Simba lose his father, and then try to navigate the world alone, reminded me of the powerful imprint a father leavesānot just in his presence, but in his absence. Mufasa wasnāt just a king. He was a compass. A pillar of strength, wisdom, and love. Even after he was gone, his words, his spirit, and his example continued to guide Simba. Thatās the role of a great fatherānot to control the path, but to prepare his child for it. On this Father's Day, Iām reminded that true leadership as a father isnāt about being perfect⦠it's about being present. It's about living in a way that even when you're gone, your values echo in the hearts of those youāve led. Happy Father's Day!
