The point of this blog is to find something to be inspired by in every day. This inspiration can be drawn from past, present, and future, from all kinds of sources, drawing from my experiences and experiences of others. Here's to hoping that it will provide a way to find a reason to smile and be at peace in every day, not matter what is going on.
Today I was listening to the Avett Brothers. One of their songs, "The Weight of Lies" presents a good life philosophy in this verse:
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
I like this less because of the undertone about lies than for the idea that when you leave a place and embark on an adventure, it is better to be inspired by what is to come than weighed down by what has happened in your past. As one of my friends says, put the past in a box in your closet; you will know it is there, but don't let it effect you actively. Instead, keep in mind what you strive for and what you hope to receive each day that you live.
