The Lion chaser’s manifesto

“Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.
Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God.
Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution.
Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.
Stop playing it safe and start taking risks.
Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey.
Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can.
Live like today is the first day and last day of your life.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshiping what’s right with God.
Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating.
Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks.
Don’t try to be who you’re not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself.
Don’t let fear dictate your decisions.
Take a flying leap of faith. Chase the lion!” Mark Batterson

Can I encourage you to read this, study it, apply it, and make it a part of your life? I believe there is a lot of greatness in this manifesto. I believe that men are called to be great, and God has given them His own glory and image to represent Him. What if nothing is impossible for you? What if you can really do all things through Christ who gives you strength? What if your faith is a doorway to the impossible becoming possible? Let’s dare to believe God! All of God, for all of us!
