You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you,” said the Lion.

This quote speaks to the concept of mutual attraction or resonance. The lion implies that there is a reciprocal relationship between calling out and being called to. It suggests that we are attracted to, or find ourselves drawn towards, those things, people, or situations that are also seeking us in some way.

In terms of personal development and self-growth, this idea can be understood as the law of attraction – the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring about positive or negative experiences into a person’s life. Essentially, what you seek is also seeking you.

Applying this concept in today’s world could mean acknowledging how our actions and intentions have consequences and impacts beyond our immediate understanding. For instance, when we express kindness towards others it often returns to us in unexpected ways; similarly when we project negativity out into the world it has a habit of finding its way back.

Also in professional settings such as job hunting or networking: if you’re genuinely interested in a particular field and actively pursue knowledge and experience within it (you ‘call’ to it), opportunities within that field will start appearing (‘calling’ back).

It’s about recognizing these connections between our internal state (our desires, interests) with external reality (opportunities). This understanding could help one navigate life more purposefully by consciously aligning their thoughts and actions with their goals.
