One of my most recent reads is a book called Chase The Lion by Mark Batterson. If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend you add it to your reading list. I came across this and I thought I should share it with you. I hope it resonates with you as it has with me.
The Lion Chaser’s Manifesto
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
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 opportunities 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.
2020 is halfway over and what a half it has been. Despite all the challenges and the unknowns, it’s never too late to chase the lion, to continue working on your personal growth, to continue to dream, and to chase those dreams. We still have six more months to accomplish our intentions we envisioned back in January. Although the circumstances are very different this year, it doesn’t mean we have to stop everything until things go back to normal, it means we have to be creative in how we achieve our goals, so start chasing.
