Yearly


I will be turning a year older tomorrow. And I can’t help but think of the past year. What have I accomplished? What things have I learned? Am I very much different from the person I was a year ago?

Birthdays make us think. It tickles the mind, challenges the emotion and rouses the soul. But then it also makes me wonder why it is only when we earn another year, be it based on our birth or the calendar, that we then consider the bygone times?

Right now, I am trying to see what I feel… Sad? Happy? Excited? Expectant? Maybe a mixture of the lot.

Tomorrow, I enter another year of my life.

I hope it will still be connected with the Creator.

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.
