Weather

The weather has been sunny in the past few days. Even if I woke up early, it's already bright. The evening darkness comes a little later than usual.

The weather bureau recently announced that the rainy season has officially arrived. As I saw the sudden downpour of rain, I made a joke to my colleague. "The heavens are crying with me."

I said that sentence with a smile because I have never associated sadness with the rain. I love the rain. I think it is connected with my personality which can't help it but see the other side of the coin. The traffic and dirt that the rain brings are all incidental. In reality, it brings refreshing air and washes away the things that are unnecessary.

I have started to smile again.

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.
