I'm constantly reading. One of my favorites right now is In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. I finished it awhile back but I'm about to start reading it again. It challenged me, stirred me up and renewed some passions that had died out long ago. I've found that those books are the BEST kind but the most work...when it comes to producing something in my life. BUT WORTH IT!
Love this manifesto by the author, hope it challenges you like it does me!
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.
