If today was your last day....

Today I found a song which says everything I've wanted to say for a long time...

This post is dedicated to Nickelback <3

 - Thank-you for not being afraid to speak the truth. Truly inspirational. 

"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day"

Is it worth it?

So yesterday was a big day for me. Not big in the sense that my life officially changed forever from that day on. Or in the sense that something really really fantastic happened, something that never happens, because what happened happens every day.
One month ago yesterday was my 18th birthday. So yesterday marks my first month of being 18. In my first month of being 18 I got my full bike license, I passed yesterday. This is huge for me because I hadn't been on my bike for a week and I fell off, and even though I got back on as soon as I could,  this point seemed like a millions miles away. Passing my test wasn't even the biggest things that happened yesterday! It was the feeling you get after you've work really hard towards something and it finally pays off. The feeling that nothing is impossible and everything you go through to get there is so worth it just for that moment and the prospects of what lies ahead.

I haven't felt like that in a long time.

Getting that feeling may have just changed the fight i'm having with my efforts towards my future. I'm going to be on my way somewhere September 26th (the day uni's start). Lets just hope its not back home.

In life, if you let it, there are ALWAYS reasons to give up....

In life, if you let it, there are are always reason to give up. Whatever it is, if your sure you want it enough then don't let them stop you. Don't give up.
There is a fine balance between knowing when to accept that its not yours or giving up too soon. What's the worst? Giving up too soon and loosing what could have been or it being hard to accept but you gave it your all, no regrets?

If its not meant to be then don't fret, there might be something better. Just make sure you know that life always carries on.

"Everythings okay in the end. If its not okay, then its not the end. "

P.S

Today someone said "How can you help someone when they don't even know what they want?" - I wonder how true this it?

Someone like you....

Let me talk to about inspiration.

Is it inspiring watching the "under dog" sports teams rising against the odds and beating the top leagues?
Is it inspiring listening to music that makes you feel?
Is it inspiring seeing your best friend achieve a dream she has wanted for so long?
Is it inspiring hearing the words you feel but just could never say?
Is it inspiring to see someone smile, I mean truly smile even when the going gets tough?

Short answer, yes it is inspirational.

But is it inspiring?

Inspirational is defined as "imparting a divine influence on the mind and soul"

But inspiring makes YOU INSPIRED. So what is inspiring about the list I have just given? The emotions your get from them? People getting what they want? The hope it gives people that anything is possible?

Or is the most inspiring things of all those stories something which you don't even know? Something which you can only guess? I'm talking about the underlying stories of how it happened. How did someone create such a beautiful song that can save your soul? How do people achieve there dreams when the world can throw so much bad at them? How did someone find the strength to smile after a bad day?

By writing this I was hoping I would get inspired or perhaps you would get inspired. But really what this is about applies to so much more than just inspiration! You get out what you put into things. You work hard, you make dreams happen. You can look at a story and think its inspirational. Or you can look a little deeper and find reason. It could be the harder route, you could get lost and get hurt. But you could help someone, you could be part of an inspirational story, you could find your self and your could make someone else dream come true. Now this is all only personal opinion, but you can roll along life scraping the surfaces and live a perfectly normal, satisfactory life. Or you can go through rough and tumble, dig a little deeper and have an utterly imperfect, brilliant life.

Go on, find your inspiration and be INSPIRED ;)

(Yes it was Adele who inspired this post, she it utterly amazing!)

Every song has to end

Can someone define the difference between right and wrong for me please? Is it right if the feeling is right? If someone tells you its right? If it's what you've been brought up to think? 

Is is wrong if people judge you for it? Is it wrong is it feels wrong? Or even if people are telling you its wrong?

What is being wrong?  A women aborts her baby, is this wrong? Or would it be wrong to bring up a child that your just not ready to have? Is it right to do something nice for someone? even if in doing something nice your being selfish by getting the gratitude and praise of being nice, is there any unselfish act? 

Right and wrong have so many boundaries that overlap, how can you possibly know what your doing is right or wrong?

 Someone told me today that they are afraid of the uncertainty, scared of prospects that they do not know and of everything unknown. Through out your life you'll be in situations that can't be defined as right or wrong. You'll never be 100% sure what's going to happen and things might surprise you. What scares you the most? Someone judging you and not knowing your reasons? Hurting other people? Or is it your feelings? The way you would look at yourself are the moment ends? Surprising yourself? 

There is no moral to this today, just something to think about....

Every song has to end, but is that a reason not to enjoy the music?
