Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious does not live at all. From now on, you will travel the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself the journey". (Princess Diaries)

“Take your life and live it to the max. Deliberately do something today. Face your fear. Allow discomfort. Allow vulnerability. Allow uncertainty ... allow your greatness to shine through.” (Ken Donaldson)

Great sayings!! Will borrow them for my email signatures. :-) I have one for you: "Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game." Got it from the movie "Cinderella Story." Hehe.

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.
