Song of the moment: Live High

Ever since I first heard of the phrase, I've always believed in Carpe diem-ing the crap out of my time in this world (Note: If you haven't seen Dead Poet's Society, find time.).  To me, nothing is more effective as an energy booster in the morning as a kiss or hug from a loved one, a good cup of iced coffee, and a self-motivating mantra that propels your insides to make something of yourself today, whatever that something may be.

Live High is by far one of my most favorite Mraz songs from We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.  In fact, I even made a poster of it and put it on my inspiration wall back home in Manila:

I love how those three sentences serve as an effective reminder.  There are things that happen in life that may cause you to feel negative, but if you are able to will yourself to see the bright side in all situations, then you will know in your heart that everything happens for a reason (yes, even the bad things), and the simplest would be to teach you some sort of lesson that will arm you with better understanding for things to come.  

Actually, the underlying message can be further summarized into one, simple word: Live. :)

How I would have loved to have been there when they taped this. ♥
