Day 2: Goodbye

I’ve been trying to hold it off. I was quite busy so I often find ways to make excuses but I knew I needed to do the necessary. So Friday afternoon found me surveying the inside of my closet, executing judgment on my clothes. Which ones should go? Admittedly, I already weeded out the ones that were easy to let go. But to some more I must say good-bye. I didn’t think it would be so hard. But it was. I’ve gotten used to them, comfortable to wear, still presentable, yet I feel that their time with me is over.


So goodbye dear pants and blouses. I will miss you but for sure your new master will appreciate you.

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.
