Live your life....

So, as I was driving to my class this morning I was be bopping to the music, and something resonated in me when I heard the song "Live your Life" by T.I. and Rihanna. Why? You ask... Well, I guess I never really listened to the words before, but for some reason, I was intently listening to it this morning.

"The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguing.
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight of what's important with the positive.
And checks until your bank account and you up out of poverty.
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly.
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss poor morally.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?"

So, again, I hear you asking why. I think mostly the part where it says, "Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly. Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss poor morally." I love that line, because so many people have piss poor morals and values. Yup, I said it.

Lets look at the big picture here: the economy is in the toilet because of greed and mismanagement. People are losing their jobs, their homes, their lives as they knew it. Working hard, only got them laid off and homeless. Where is the accountability?

Hmmm... So I am not really sure where this rant is going... I figured I would get it out there and off my chest.

Well, the title of this song is Live your Life. I have made the conscious choice to live my life with deep morals and high values. I have made the conscious choice to love what I live, and live what I love. I am going to be accountable for the life I lead and will expect to be called on any misrepresentations I give to myself (which I hope, I will not do).

How will you live your best life? What do you want to be accountable for?

This is going to be a short one tonight, I am a little drained from the classes this past weekend. The weekend was absolutely fabulous, but they were mentally draining. That is probably why I may not be making much sense tonight. This post may not resonate with you, but I hope future posts will land right in your arms where you can grab them and hold them close and think, Yes, these are my thoughts exactly too!
A girl can dream, can't she?
