One Republic - Marchin On [HD]

KEEP MARCHING ON

I discovered this song on YouTube and simply loved it! I love when music inspires me to dance, evaluate who I am and discover the world around me in a new light. This song has a great beat and simple thought. Nothing new about the message, but it’s a message that speaks to how I see things and I was encouraged by. There is a line in the song that says “For all of the times we’ve stopped….for all of the things i’m not”. I have had my times in life where it felt like I didn’t want to move forward, because I didn’t know where I wanted to go. I knew I couldn’t stay in the place I was, but I didn’t know how to put one foot in front of the other to go in a direction towards “something” that was going to have meaning for me. It was during those times when I look back now and can see how critical I was of myself, not really knowing who I was, not understanding my purpose here on this planet, and focusing too much on what I wasn’t in the eyes of others. But that was then and this is now. I love the journey I have had (even with the tough roads that may have caused me pain). Because I can see how I have marched on and never really stopped…..only slowed down at times. God has taught me about my purpose. I have a ton of people I love and a ton of people that love me back. And there are a ton of others I have yet to meet. But it has never been about the “getting back” as much as it has been about the “giving”. The Beatles once sang a song called “All We Need Is Love”. God has been singing that song to us for centuries!

FINAL THOUGHT: Keep marching on if you feel discouraged because you’re in a rough place right now. It’s not about me not understanding what it’s like to be in your shoes or saying “easier said than done” statements. Standing still has it’s purpose, but putting one foot in front of the other and taking those baby steps to “somewhere” can take you to that blessing that just maybe right around the corner. MARCH ON!

QUESTION: Where are you going in life?
