![]() or I can get down and try work it all out this lifetime work it on out this time I can let it all pass me by or I can get down and try work it all out this lifetime lifetime Maxwell - Now (2001); 'LifeTime' Lyrics (chorus). There are many of us who can find the motivation to achieve our goals and to live each day as if it were our last. However, in contrast, there are some of us who find the future a scary place, therefore, are more cautious or tentative; we may have no self-worth or belief, so become frustrated, confused and even more unsure. Listening to these lyrics, as a therapist, I wondered, how many of us just let life pass us by? Wishing for something else....... something different, but, feeling paralysed to do anything about it. Maxwell's song 'Lifetime' expresses feelings and thoughts of love, loss, depression, hope, growth and change. "I can let my life pass me by....Or I can get down and try". It's true, change is scary and the journey to some form of Self-actualization, has its obstacles, but breaking free from debilitating thoughts and behaviours is achievable and empowering . We can choose to let life pass us by, but surely we owe it to ourselves to...... "Work it all out this lifetime...work it on out this time". |
