What do you do it for?
What are you running for?
What are you running towards?
What are you trying to prove?
What do you got to lose?
What is the path you choose?
There are lots of people around me having existential crises at the moment (gees, maybe myself included I suspect). They have started to lose their way and starting to question what the point is of being on this earth and why the life decisions they have made have led them to this place, to this plateau in their lives. What do you do it for? What are you running for? Until you figure out what your "it" is, then there isn't really any point to run for anything, because you are not yet aware of your purpose, more specifically, your divine purpose. Are there any special goals that you are running towards? You may be running towards people that you want to be around, need to be around for your own sanity. Some of these people may even be running towards you and you don't know what to do about it.
I lost my way
I lost my way
I lost my way
I lost my way again
I lost my way again
Who is ever really sure where they are heading in their life? We are taught to believe in sequential steps that are linear and make sense. We are taught to believe in ways that are straight and true, that lead to all of the important milestones and achievements that show the world that you belong, that you can conform. In order to lose your way, you need to know that the path you are on is truly yours and yours alone. The times when you know that you are at your peak performance, that you are at the height of your greatness, those are the times that you know that you are on your way. There will be times when you will lose your way, but those times might be necessary for you to know that what you were seeking from the beginning of your journey, from the beginning of your quest was always the straight and true path; you were just distracted by things and people along the way that deterred you.
Then you showed up and I got up
Yeah, sort of
Found my way again
Found my way again
But what of those people who showed up, picked you up, dusted off your dirt smeared cheeks as they tilted your head to see their smile? Those are the people who are worth keeping and holding onto. Where are those people in your life? When someone comes along and is ready to lend a helping hand, then you need to know that you have been given gifts and talents to help others along their way, but you know that you can help yourself first, to get yourself on your way. Sometimes we need role models and people to lead by example so that we are focused on the path ahead. If you're someone like me who has been afraid to live in their greatness, and I'm not even talking about that from a conceited stance, but like how Joseph used to talk about when he had those dreams in the Old Testament. How can you tell your friends and family that you have unique dreams that seem to make no sense, but yet make all the sense in the world?
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven (my way to heaven)
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way if I can make it out of this hell
I know I can and I know I will
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven (my way to heaven)
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, if I can make it out of this hell
I know I can and I will
Are you on your way?
You should know that when you are on your way, that the way implies constant movement and the ability to recognise that even if you feel tired and need to stop from time to time, that you maintain the focus and the drive to maintain your position on your way. Being able to be on your way, means that you have agreed on a mission to get from one place to the next. You have decided to take yourself on a journey if not for yourself, then to act as a conduit for others to be on their own way. Being able to be on your way, just as I am going to be on my way, means that I take ownership of the decisions and choices I have made. People will be judgemental and criticise your every single move. Let them. That is the job they have assigned themselves. Even if you weren't you, there would always be someone to talk about you. Child, you are just the special kind of someone that people can't stop talking about.
What do you do it for?
What are you running for?
What are you running towards?
What are you trying to prove?
What do you got to lose?
What is the path you choose?
We live in a world where we are constantly proving ourselves.
We have to provide proof of evidence at every turn in everything that we participate in.
We have to provide proof of identification about who we are. An ID card or a licence that doesn't' tell the person looking at it, about your struggles and personal goals and achievements that you've gained over your lifetime. People will only ever see pockets of those flashes of brilliance about you. They will be blinded by those pockets of brilliance and make their minds up about how to continue to judge you for the rest of your life. If you decide to do everything in your power to live what you absolutely need to do - what have you got to lose? You only have yourself to lose for not being able to live your truest path of all. Are you that brave?
I know of a cover girl
From another in the world
Analog, not digital
Invisible and spiritual
One, now I got a love
What facade are you showing the world at the moment? Does it satisfy what they think you are and what you are about? There are other girls or boys like you in the world who will be in the same shoes as you. They will be on opposite sides of the world wondering about their own life journey and life path. They will be wondering whether someone else in the world has it as tough as them. They will be wondering if there are other invisible and spiritual people like them who go about their daily routines without the slightest bit of acknowledgement of their contribution. If you want to be acknowledged for what you do, let people know what you do. If you want people to acknowledge what others don't, let those people know. I cheer people on all the time and I smile when I see others succeed. It lets me know that there are other people out there who are working hard to be on their way.
I'm on my way
Way to heaven
I'm on my way
On my way, make it out of this hell
Yeah
I hope that however your life path is proceeding at the present time, that you know how much you are loved and appreciated. If you feel like there is no satisfaction to be had from what surrounds you in this world, then focus instead on what you can do for yourself. Gravitate towards experiences that give you inner joy, inner peace and inner love that connects to your inner you. I hope that when you are on your way to heaven, that you choose this time to make the most of your days in this life. Say things that you mean to people who mean the most to you. Spend time with those who need time with you, even if you don't want to - it's not about sacrificing time but making memories. This hell that we live in, it doesn't have to be for very long. We make the most of what we can with who we are with. Be grateful for the other monsters you are with, because maybe together you can make your way out of this hell and be on your way, moving towards in your own time, your own ascension. . .
