A little motivation

I got this list from a client who heard it from his pastor Mark Batterson.  This is  great stuff, please share with your kids

IN THE PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY

- Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
- Set God-sized goals.
- Pursue God-ordained passions
- Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.
- Don’t let fear dictate your decisions.
- Don’t take the easy way out.
- Don’t maintain the status quo.
- Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution.
- Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.
- Stop playing not to lose and start playing to win.
- Expand your horizons.
- Create some margins.
- Take off your sandals.
- Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything that you can.
- Live today like it is the first day and the last day of your life.
- Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshiping what’s right with God.
- Burn sinful bridges.
- Challenge old assumptions.
- Blaze new trails.
- Don’t stop making mistakes. Celebrate your failures.
- Don’t try to be who you’re not. Be yourself.
- Don’t make a living. Make a life.
- Quit making excuses.
- Quit playing defense.
- And quit putting eight-foot ceilings on what God can do.
