- - - JUST THINKING - - -
Was just listening to The Script's Hall of Fame (feat. Will. i. am).
Yeah, You could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest
You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door
I was thinking how sometimes you CAN'T achieve all your dreams, SOMETIMES it's not possible, no matter how hard you try, to be a rock star or a celeb or a professor or anything for that matter. We are told we can then we feel disappointed when we can't.
Having said this, I was also thinking that the 'anything is possible' thing has really worked for me in some ways cos I haven't given up fighting sickness or stayed stuck as a bitter person and it has helped me hugely with the jewellery-making, teaching and the people I meet.
Having said THAT, I guess I am learning that being YOU, being 'normal' doesn't make you any less special. I think what's important is to love and be loved, to help people, to do right by them, to challenge your own attitudes, to seek help when you need it. And yes, aim high, but find out what you want to do, what you're good at, who you are.
I saw a dog's paw prints as I was walking by the water and I was thinking that a dog doesn't necessarily aspire to anything, he or she knows what they need to do and do it. And treated well, they are happy. I am not saying we should be like dogs, we are not dogs but perhaps we could learn a thing or two from them?
Just food for thought. Ideas?
