I Was Here

Any of you that know me, are already aware that I’m big on lyrics…not sure if it’s the hidden singer inside of me or the blossoming writer LOL. A song that makes me analyze my life the way it is now, think about and make previsions for the future and sit back, smiling while thinking about the legacy I want to leave behind is Beyonce’s song ‘I Was Here’. This song describes the kind of life I’m motivated to live and the type of impact I want to leave on those that I encounter. The lyrics are:

‘I WAS HERE’

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because

I was here

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
……..

 

So today my questions to you are:

What type of impact are you having on people’s lives? What legacy will you leave behind? Are you living your life in a way that is pleasing to you and those around you? Will you be remembered in a good way? Has your light shined on people in a way that will brighten paths for years after your gone?

　

It’s not too late to change the answers to these questions…change the legacy that you’ll leave behind. Change what comes to mind when people think of you… leave an impact on people’s lives when they get to know you. An impact that can change a frown to a smile by something you’ve said or done. An impact that will intercept a state of loneliness when they know they can call on you. An impact that will bring you to mind when reminiscing on people they were blessed to know.

Until Next Time…

Most Windows have a Different View

Some of the main quarrels in life are because of people's inabilities to understand others, stubbornness to only understand themselves and their refusal to compromise or show compassion for others. I feel that so many of life's hang ups can be freed by simply learning to agree to disagree, without holding a grudge.

The top characteristic that forms a persons view on different situations is the experiences in life that they have encountered. The events in everyone's life is different, therefore it is most likely that each perspective will also be different. We as people need to keep in mind that when looking out of life's window, the view we see will be based on our PERSONAL trials, triumphs and failures.

When feeling strongly about a situation never be so adamant about your point that you completely overlook where the other person may be coming from. Your feelings/opinions are NOT the only things that matter. It may be hard to consider others feelings when dealing with a situation, but at some point you should take time out to try and see where the other person may be coming from.

Today my voices are saying: People who do NOT share your perspective on life will not see the same view you see when looking out of life's window. Each window has a different view!

A Thief does NOT share the view of a Noble Man.

A Hustler can NOT comprehend the strict budget of a Hard Working Man, just as a Millionaire can not fathom the struggles of Ordinary People.

A Mistress could NEVER understand the perspective of a Wife.

A Fornicator can NOT grasp the abstinence of a Priest, no more than a Sinner can comprehend the walk of a person that fears God.

But, if each of these people would learn compassion for others they could co-exist without hate.

Until Next Time…
