Back to reality

It is one of the things I hate about traveling... that I have to go back to my real life. Especially if the reality you left for a few days is something that you don't want to deal with.

No one told me that adulthood means responsibilities. Maybe it was for the better. Otherwise, I would not have wanted to go through the process. But then, who among us can shirk from this natural course of things? I may try but it would just be denying something that is true.

I am glad for the prayers of people around me. I need those. Badly. And in His infinite mercy, God gave me a breakthrough. Well, at least for one particular problem. For the others? I know they will get resolved. One at a time. 

Just thinking aloud.

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.
