Yesterday I was sharing with someone that I wanted to frame the Lion Chasers manifesto and hang it in my office. Sad to say they didn't know what I was talking about so I started to explain the book and the idea behind the Lion Chasers Manifesto. I didn't do it justice and I'm pretty sure I hacked it up so here's how author/Pastor Mark Batterson wrote it.
Just a little side note if you read this and feel nothing...somethings wrong with you! I hope and pray that as you read this that something in you will reignite. Get off your blessed assurance, stop delaying what God wants to do in your life...run hard...dream out loud...and live life to the fullest.
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.
