Sometimes we all just need a little reminded to slow life down. To genuinely really look at the life we live in a healthier light. it's easy to get caught up in our routines, and when that happens we should all stop.... and listen to the 5 most perfect country lyrics to live by.
1. Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks
"Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talking to the man upstairs, that just because he doesn't answer, doesn't mean he don't care. Some of Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."
Always remember that life truly does work in mysterious ways. Even if you are someone who is or is not religious. Sometimes we really want things to work out, but it always ends up that some greater power knows what is more beneficial for us in the long run. Thank that higher power at moments when things don't go the way you planned. Chances are your unanswered prayer or wish is a silver lining.
2. Humble and Kind - Tim Mcgraw
"Hold the doors, say please, say thank you. Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie. I know you've got mountains to climb, but always stay humble and kind."
"Don't take for granted the love this life gives you. When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around. Help the next one in line, Always stay humble and kind."
Sometimes in life, we all just need a little reminder that selfishness will get us nowhere. This song has the most beautiful lyrics to help us put life back into the right perspective. That of which being the fact that we will be so much happier when we are more selfless. There is too much hate in this world to be only concerned with ourselves. When we care and help others passionately we will live happier, healthier, better life.
3. When I Get Where I'm Going - Brad Paisley
"When i get where I'm going, there'll be only happy tears. I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years, and I'll leave my heart wide open. I will love and have no fear. Yeah when I get where I'm going, don't cry for me down here."
Essentially this song is explaining that we should find comfort in the reassurance that our loved ones who we hold near and dear to us who have passed on are now in a better place. The person who we may have lost on this earth had their own struggles and hardships, but they clearly impacted our life in a positive light. We should reflect on those precious moments and not cry sad tears for them over their graves. They are in a better place with a fresh soul. One day you will meet again, but until then only happy tears.
4. Life's A Dance - John Michael Montgomery
"Sink or swim you gotta give it a whirl. Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry bout what you don't know, life's a dance you learn as you go."
It is safe to say that you live and you learn from your mistakes. You shouldn’t worry about the things you are unsure of. Stick with your gut and soon enough you'll find yourself dancing through life all the more knowledgeable and wise from your experiences.
5. Something To Be Proud Of - Montgomery Gentry
"You don't need to make a million, just be thankful to be working. If you're doing what you're able, putting food there on the table, and providing for the family, that you love. That’s something to be proud of & if all you really do is the best you can, well you did it man."
This song specifically is one for the books. It’s a simple reminder that you have a lot to be thankful for and that you should be proud for the things that you have accomplished no matter how small or insignificant they may seem in the grand scheme of life. You don’t need to make millions or have the most lavish lifestyle. If you have a family that you love and loves you back no matter what life may throw at you... then you’re pretty darn lucky.
