Every now and then a random song will pop into my head. A
person may trigger a thought that leads to a song. Or a word someone speaks
could spark an outburst of musical talent. There is always a song in this head
of mine.
Today’s song, of unwanted choice, happened to be Adel- Someone
Like You. Now mind you, Adel is not someone I would listen to. I do, however,
like the heart and passion she puts into her songs. She doesn’t demand an
audience because she can, but rather because she has talent and passion in what
she brings forth.
That said I couldn’t help but listen to the song and feel
sorry for so many. Why do we let fear hold us back? How much of life do we miss
out on when we step away from what is good. Yes, sometimes we hope to find
something that is better. But other times it is simply because we are scared
that it is too good for us or what if the situation changes. We lock ourselves
up in this silent prison and wait until it’s to late and we are left saying "we
hope to find someone like you". When we could have had it from the beginning of
it all.
Sometimes, our lives get confused and wrapped up in the
pleasing of others. Like, keeping a standard for your family name. By trying to
appease others we give up on who we are. To surrender who we are is a
guaranteed way to let a part of you die.
I would like to challenge you to let go of fear. Take that
chance when the good is looking you in the eyes and try it out. Let joy be
apart of your life instead of hesitation. Don’t miss out on the best and get stuck
settling for seconds. Don’t let Adel’s song come up on the radio and cause you
to feel like you are hearing someone talk about your life in similar words.
