Life is a short story. A ride through many chapters that leaves a completed biography that tells of the struggle, success, and significance of ones life. It’s not always what a person has or the status of their existence, but the way one embraces the life they were given and uses all the colors to leave a original masterpiece. Using all that they are to be the ultimate story of greatness in a life that is forever young and forever courageous.
I am a believer in the power of the mind and the haunting way we tear away from our dreams and forget to live in the direction of our dreams. Forgetting to discover and rediscover the reasons we began and the reason things must end to bring our passion to our purpose. Realizing that living in the sun of success is never just a thought, but a dream that must come true.
Jay-Z, one of musics must influential lyricist is one of the artist that speaks life back into a lost soul and sets one speed to turbo towards reaching life’s goals. In “Forever Young” he mesmerizes us to embrace the obsession of youth, while living life like there’s no tomorrow; building a collection of work that is tremendously amazing.
Leave a mark that can’t erase, neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut we’ll be fine, ah – Jay-Z “Forever Young” (2010)
Jay-Z’s “Forever Young” borrows the very important hook courtesy of Alphaville’s 1984 hit “Forever Young.” that encourages us to rewind the tape back to early life when dreams were real and imagination was free. A time when everything was in reach and success was a must. By living in the moment of the dreams we have we are guaranteed to obtain them easily. I’m sure you see how vital this song is to those of us who have strayed away from our dreams and goals; living in the sad mans blues of the wrongs and worries of life. Jay-Z use is poetic royalty to influence his listeners to borrow that passion of yesterday to relight those dreams for tomorrow so that our purpose lives on forever.
Just some picture perfect day
To last a whole lifetime
And it never ends
‘Cause all we have to do is hit rewind – Jay-Z “Forever Young” (2010)
Oh, I can imagine the feeling one must have when they have made those dreams of childhood and adolescence come true. Finally realizing that dreams really do come true, but it’s up to you to take the chance and the high stakes bet on you. I’m not preaching to just you, but to me too. If only we sat back and thought of what made are eyes sparkle and catapulted our drive, we too would feel like we were living “Forever Young.”
And I ain’t waiting for closure, I will never forfeit – Jay-Z “Forever Young” (2010)
Don’t let doors close before you even get the chance to explore whats on the other side of them. Don’t finalize your book of life until what you dreamed of and wanted is your everyday existence. Stand up and be great….nope….be better than great. Be unstoppable, unedited, without fear, and unbelievable! You are forever young and no one (not even yourself) can put a age on fulfilling and living your dreams. Live “Forever Young”
