Recently I was given the task of learning a song (on guitar and vocally) I had really only heard once or twice. The song is called "Who I was born to be." While trying to learn the song it really made me think alot about my childhood up until now. I have started to think and ask myself the question: "Am I who I was born to be?"
We need to look at our lives consistently and ask ourselves these types of questions. Why else would I have started this blog. When I started the blog I was looking at changing myself. As I continue to write this blog and take on tasks I am realizing that maybe at the end of the year of writing this blog that I will find that I really didn't change and become a new me but rather was made aware of who I was born to be instead? Maybe I will find that all along I was who I was born to be.
Today I will be driving to a county I don't normally have to work in. It will give me a great opportunity to sit and think. It will give me the opportunity to think about what I am doing, where I am going with this all, and how to continue going on with it. There have been too many days that I have "gotten off easy" on the blog and I can't keep doing that if I am totally committed to this journey. I have to start thinking more about this journey and what other areas I need to work on or what things I do positively. Is there a chance that this journey could end before the 365 days? Yes...possibly. Do I want it to end before then? No, I don't want it to end. Maybe I just need to refocus my journey. I don't know, but today and my travels will give me the opportunity to think about alot of this.
Are you who you were born to be? Are the ideals that you had when you were younger the same ideals you have now? Are you still holding on to something from your past that you don't feel you've achieved or that you haven't re-evaluated? Maybe today should be that day for you.
Oh my how emotional I have become. The blog today could easily make me cry. I cannot thank you enough for toughing it out with the song Melissa. It does mean a lot to me. Your blog journey is a journey that only you can take but the fact that you share it is awesome for the rest of us, considering each and every day of your writings and how they make us think where we are in our own life's journey. Thank you for all that you do.

ReplyDeleteSorry, it wouldn't show my first posting.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same thing happen to me once.
ReplyDeleteThe song really does have a lot to say. I have to admit that I had my doubts about it in the beginning. But after playing it, I think that I do like it a lot. The words say alot by themselves, and the music is simple, and for me, it's in a perfect key. I can't use it in my Gospel concerts, since it is not considered a religous song, but it is certainly a powerful song with a message, "Who were we born to be?"
