Lion Chasers Manifesto (Mark Batterson):
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Grab life by the mane. 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. Accumulate experiences. Consider the lilies. 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 worshipping 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.

Wow! Now if I will only step out and do this! Very inspiring. I remind myself most of the time of the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. This scripture comes to mind: Hebrews 10:37-39 (New International Version)37For in just a very little while,"He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38But my righteous one[a] will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."[b] 39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. -pj
