You were born...

JUST A THOUGHT:

A pretty incredible song by a new band "Cloud Cult".
These are lyrics from their new song "You were born."

"You were born into a strange world.
Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire...

You were born to change this life.
You were born to chase the light."

I always get so lost in my own mind as to what my personal purpose is. I know I want to do good. But too often the uncertainty of the everyday can lead me to paralyze my own good intentions. But this song puts into such simple terms. I am a candle. I seek light, as well as the ability to share it. The winds of the world will seek to extinguish my fire, but I mustn't retire. If I were to compare the world to the confines of a dark room- I know I must not lay lost in a corner with a flickering light. I instead must stand tall, disregarding all certainty, and allow my candle to serve it's purpose. I think i'd be amazed at how much there is to be discovered.
