On changing your mind


I borrowed this image from another site. I hope the photographer will not be angry.

I just want to try the new feature of blogger and what can be the best picture to post but that of the Eiffel Tower : where many couples dream of spending their romantic holiday!

Isn't it funny though that many, many years ago, when it was to be created to commemorate the centenniary event of the French Revolution, many have protested against its construction. That later on, it was supposed to be torn down and was saved because of antennae. And here, numerous years after, it has become the symbol of France.

Only proves that people can change their mind. A good lesson for us: don't be discouraged if other people don't like your idea. A hundred years from now, they might consider you a genius.

Lion Chaser 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. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
