Learning still

The tendency really was to remain inside. To keep everything within yourself. It seems easier. But no one said that the easy ones are better.


Life has always been about choices. Did I make the right choice?


Variety is fun. It makes the world brighter and interesting. But there is something about consistency that makes you feel warm all over. It is like the discipline of prayer. It makes you constantly in tune with your Maker. If only… 


There are days you want to be selfish. Not to share anything. But then, it might be to your disadvantage. Still…


You wonder. And wonder. And wonder still…

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.
