Bob Seger Is Talking To Me

This has been a rough couple of days and I always seem to find the meaning of it all in music lyrics. This morning the music of Bob Seger was really speaking to me. The first song that came to mind was the song "Beautiful Loser" by Bob Seger. I heard the song last night on some TV show but it made me stop and think about what I am going through. The words that caught my attention were

"Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
When you realize
You just can't have it all"

I believe that I am on the right track in my life. It has only taken me 50 years to get pointed in the right direction but I guess it is never too late. I guess sometimes you have to be stripped of everything you have in order to appreciate yourself. I am still standing. I may be naked but I am still standing. This to shall come to pass.

The second Bob Seger song that comes to mind is "Turn the Page."

"And you don't feel much like ridin',
You just wish the trip was through"

This trip is over and I was beginning to wish the trip was through. That is when you know that it needs to be over. All of the aggravation and the headaches became a real drain on me and my creativity. Believe me, I need to harness every bit of creativity that I can. When I finally get pointed in the right direction, I do not need anyone else knocking me off the tracks whether they intend to or not. At this stage in my life, I have discovered everyone has baggage, no matter how big or small, but it is how they deal with that baggage that is important. I cannot let someone else's baggage weigh me down.
