A needed slap


Yeah, there are days we need that slap. A wake up call that tells you to stop and look at the positive side of life. 

Thank God for friends who could and would call you stupid to your face. Only because you are, in fact, being stupid. 

And also for friends who are just ready to listen to you gripe about life. For those who divert you from everything that can just drown you down. 

Those who put a smile on your face by their teasing and little jokes.

And those who lift you up with their words just when you feel you need it most. 

Today, I needed that slap and those encouraging words. 

Thanks friends!

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.
