Today, I really thought it would be powerful if instead of reading something I wrote, you could read and meditate on The Lion Chaser Manifesto by Mark Batterson, a pastor in Washington, D. C. May it be motivational to you to let go of your worries and embrace life and all the challenges therein.
The Lion Chaser Manifesto
by Mark Batterson
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Run to the roar.
Run to the roar.
Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-given passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail
without divine intervention.
Stop pointing out problems. Become part of the solution.
Stop repeating the past. Start creating the future.
Face your fears. Fight for your dreams.
Grab opportunity by the mane and don’t let go!
Live like today is the first day and last day of your life.
Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails.
Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you
keep you from worshiping what’s right with God.
Dare to fail. Dare to be different.
Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
Chase the lion.
