Quote and Song of the Day!

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” Bob Moawad, author of "Whatever it Takes" once said this. I do believe it, but only to some extent. I believe that people also come into our lives for a reason, to help shape and mold us, for the better, and for the worse.

Today's song I chose is 'Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot!

Lyrics:

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

[Chorus]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

[Chorus]

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

The song felt like a perfect fit too :) I think i may have had it done as a song of the day before but it's definitely one of my favorites and the theme just seemed to fit well! As far as the quote, it's a great one, although, I do believe the "No one to lean on" is a tad bit extreme, there will always be someone in our lives who will "lend us a shoulder," however, our ultimate and last decision is solely ours alone.
