What moves you? What makes you feel, what makes you realize you are alive because every inch of your body is electrified with such exhilaration that you almost forget the world around you, you are so enveloped with the energy coursing through your veins...
I have felt this. I know all of you have felt this. This isn't just being alive, this is living. To steal a line from one of my favorite movies (Braveheart) "every man dies, but not every man really lives."
One thing that makes me feel such power and energy is music. It is such an important part of my life, it is a source of motivation, inspiration, and strength in times when I may not feel strong. One song that has struck me lately is by The Offspring. The song is called Half-Truism. I don't know what it's about, or if there is any story behind it, but for some reason this song has been in my head the past few days.
Now you may dismiss this as simply being temporarily obsessed with a rock song. But music is so amazing because of how it makes you feel. In this song I have mentioned, it moved me somehow. I can't quite explain it, so I will simply say that I feel an energy and excitement when I listen to the song.
Find a song that moves you, find a melody that will take you away, if only for a moment. Let your mind and spirit become enveloped in the harmony, in the rhythm, in whatever it is about the music that you love.
