Learning to Breathe

breathe
♫♫Hello, good morning, how you do? What makes your rising sun so new?♫♫

This song was made famous by the Switchfoot band and has been one of my all-time favorite songs because of its lyrics, melody, and alternative vibe.

What makes this song special? For me, it signifies new beginnings, new love, new day. Finding inspiration, strength and courage to start all over again after hitting rock bottom. It won’t be easy but once you choose to live another day with a new perspective, and simply accept that challenges are part of this so-called life, then it would be like letting go of that anchor and unloading all unnecessary baggage that have been dragging you for awhile, making life easier to deal with.

More so, people around you can merely give advice but in the end, only you can help yourself. Truthfully, it all starts with the right mindset and attitude to pick yourself up and allowing yourself to be transformed – to be better, wiser and stronger after overcoming and learning from those challenges.

Choose to fight than to give up, to hope that everything will pass and you’ll be just fine, and to believe that there will be better days. Most importantly, choose to live, to show kindness, to empathize, and to love. Continue believing that you were born with a purpose, born to be great and do great things. Don’t leave this world an average person; leave with pride and contentment knowing that your existence made a difference in this world.

Learn to breathe. Live deeply. Love passionately.
