The video is built around the story of a young OneRepublic fan who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Having a kiddo who lives with a serious heart defect, the idea of not wasting a second the Good Lord has given to us has been hammered home so many times. Nonetheless, the daily diapers, cooking, and cleaning can steal the passion with which I want to live this life. I love the little reminders God sends our way: a flower peeking through a crack in a concrete sidewalk, a gorgeous sunrise or sunset, a song. My children inspire me to be a better mom and person, my husband inspires me to go after my dreams and experience new things, music inspires me to push my body beyond where my mind wants it to go. Where do you get your inspiration?
Wednesday Wisdom~ Inspiration - it's a powerful thing! It can motivate you do to do anything from getting out of bed in the morning to starting your own company. I love music...and it inspires me. Since I teach spin classes, I always have an ear open for songs that will inspire my class to move faster, push harder, and dig deeper. Creating spin playlists has provided me with some great tunes to run to as well. I ran a 5K over the weekend and am always amazed at how particular lyrics or rhythms encourage me to put out just a little more effort. Two weeks ago I heard a new song which I added to my 5K playlist. It was actually released back in 2014, but I don't keep up on much of today's pop/rock music. It is called "I Lived" by OneRepublic. The band's frontman wrote it for his 4 year old son. Although the chorus is encouraging and really makes you want to give it your all, the music video is what really got to me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rxydSolwU). To be honest, I was in the middle of my day trying to put my class together for the next morning, and I started the video but couldn't finish it... and in the middle of the race I had to tell myself to pull it together and focus on the road so I wouldn't cry.
