Jon Foreman of Switchfoot says in the song "Awakening", "I wanna live like i know what i'm leaving". what is he trying to say with this? Could it be that he wants to live enough to leave this place with love? or he wants to live and leave because of what he has done good to the world? those made no sense but i sometimes wonder if im living my life enough to leave it with doing something worthwhile. i recently read this quote from Margaret Fuller that says, "Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live." Do we all forget to live by trying to make a living in this world? I think we do forget to live all the time.
i know for myself that i almost every day forget to live and forget that each breath is worth something special. I worry about stupid things and even important things that wont matter in a year or so. I worry abput getting homework done, worry about exams, not failing, etc. but is it worth all the worry? Am i still going to live on? Am i going to lose my sanity from failing one exam that is worth a fourth of my grade? Sure its not good, but time goes on. Life goes on. To quote Stephen Christian in his song "Naive Orleans", he says " well i finally found that life goes on without you, and my world still turns when youre not around". The world keeps turning. Whether or not you like it, the world goes on with or without you. Its your choice to stand still, or move. Dare people to move, dare yourself to move. Dare to be a part of something important. Do not let breaths be wasted. Do not spend your life away with worry and doubts. Be the change. Go up to that girl you cant talk to. Hold doors open for people you dont know. Try to smile at people ,because most likely they will smile back. Happiness is contagious. Do something different. Be a difference. Live liek you know what you are leaving. Leave an impact. Be something special. I think i will leave it at that. . . .
Peace 'n' Love
