When lyrics become more than lyrics

Live Your Life Like Zac Brown Band

Some of the most powerful expression comes not from the written word or the spoken thought, but rather from the sweet sound of music. It’s easy to get lost in the rhythm, the eloquence, the melody. Music has the ability to transform lives, providing an escape from the world and helping us connect with others on a deeper, more emotional level. Often times, lost in the soothing sounds and feel-good melodies are the true life lessons, ones that offer the keys for a better way of life. Zac Brown Band has done well in capturing the essence of a simple and humble, yet satisfying life, one full of excitement and meaning behind every moment. Make the messages the soundtrack to your life.

Remember your roots

“Here in a small town where it feels like home. I got everything I need and nothing that I don’t.” – Homegrown

Appreciate the things that matter

“It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most, not where you live or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes. There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I’ve come to know.” – Chicken Fried

Let go of what is out of your control

“Save your strength for things that you can change. Forgive the ones you can’t. You gotta let ‘em go.” – Let It Go

Find your happy place and escape once in a while

“Gonna put the the world away for a minute, pretend I don’t live in it. Sunshine gonna wash my blues away.” – Knee Deep

Live in the moment

“We’re gonna make this day a little better than the last. It’s amazing how slow days like this can go. Find a way to wash away, any regret you have. Don’t let this moment pass but live inside this day.” – Make This Day

Respect and thank those who've served

“I thank god for my life and for the stars and stripes. May freedom forever fly, let it ring. Salute the ones who died, the ones that gave their lives, so we don’t have to sacrifice all the things we love.” – Chicken Fried

Talk less, listen more

“And if you’re too busy talkin’, you’re not busy listenin’ to hear what the land has to say. Quiet your mind.” – Quiet Your Mind

Don't rush your life

“Ain’t in no hurry. I’d be a fool now to worry about all those things I can’t change. And the time that I borrow can wait till tomorrow ‘cause I ain’t in no hurry today.” – No Hurry

Take a chance

“You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith.” – As She’s Walking Away

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
