In All Things

Till you're gone, better live the now
So when they set the sun - they'll remember how
You pleased the crowds, plus allowed
Your soul to soar - then took your bow
Curtains closed, show is over
Rave reviews, they wanna show it over
And you're the star that they wanna see
And the star shining bright up over me.

I was writing a song yesterday and this is a lyric that came out of that process. This particular verse is how I ended the song and my hope is that it can bring some inspiration to you.

While we have today to live, we have to live it to our best. There are no "do-overs", this is it. One take, good or bad. And as the lyric implies, if you did your best, then when your life comes to an end there will be plenty of you left for people to remember. And how you live your life and how you affect others is going to determine how you are remembered. So the choice of how you get remembered is up to you really, if you think about it. It's in your day to day decisions, it's in the way you interact with you fellow man.

And if you have done your best, then you become that bright, shining star, that example of what's possible for the rest of us.

In all things do your best.
