Life Mottos

Bookmark and Share

Just got a copy of Motto magazine from Daniel Decker. Very cool magazine concept. They ask all their contributors to share their mottos. Reminds me of something C.S. Lewis said: "Every life consists of a few themes." A motto is a life theme. Here are a few of my favorites:

You have to be different to make a difference--Marty Mercer
Too blessed to be stressed--Jon Gordon
The worst thing in the world to be: not yourself--Shaeron
You get in life what you have the courage to ask for--N. Solomon
Keep Climbing--Sean Swarner
Give Your Firstfruits and you will be truly blessed--Blake Mycoskie


Sometimes I feel like Motto Man. I have so many mottos that have become part of the fabric of who I am. Here are a few of my personal mottos. Not necessarily a top ten. Just ten mottos that come to mind:

1) Play Offense
2) Die Doing What You Love
3) Everything Is an Experiment
4) Love People when they least expect it and least deserve it
5) Playing it Safe is Risky
6) Your Focus Determines Your Reality
7) Be Yourself
8) Live your life in a way that is worth telling stories about
9) Pursue Your Passion

...and of course

10) Chase the Lion
