"Song For a Friend"-Jason Mraz

Well you're magic he said

But don't let it all go to your head

Well I bet if you had it all figured out 

Then you'd never get out of bed

No doubt

All the things that I've read what he wrote me

Is now sounding like the man I was hoping 

To be

Keep on keeping it real

Cause it keeps getting easier indeed

He's the reason that I'm laughing 

Even if there's no one else

He said, you've got to love yourself

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak 

But keep your tongue up in your cheek 

And if you stumble on to something 

Better remember it's humble that it's humble that you seek

You got all the skill you need,

Individuality 

You got something

Call it gumption 

Call it anything you want 

Because when you play the fool now

You're only fooling everyone else

You're learning to love yourself

Yes you are

There's no price to pay

When you give what you take,

That's why it's easy to thank you

You...

Let's say take a break from the other day

And get back to the old garage

Because life's too short anyway

But at least it's better than average

As long as you got me

And I got you

You know we got a lot to go around 

I'll be your friend

Your older brother

Another love to come and comfort you 

And I'll keep reminding 

It it's the only thing I ever do

I will always love

I will always love you

Yes you

I will always, always, always, always love

I will always, always love

I will always, always love, love

Climb up over the top 

Survey the state of the soul 

You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying

Why not give it a shot?

Shake it. Take control and inevitably wind up 

Finding for yourself all the strengths you have inside of you.

oh jason, how i love thee.

Oh My God, I'm Soooo Hot Right Now!

Dictionary.com defines humility as:

hu-mil-i-ty

-noun

the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc.

So, in other words. NOT the title of this post.  

If ever in my life I've realized the importance of humility, it would have to be now.  I don't care if you're the pope, tom cruise, or the winner of the nobel peace prize.  If you don't have humility, you don't have much.  Let your accomplishments speak for themselves for god's sake.  I personally find that much more impressive and inspiring than someone who's gotta let me know, as often as possible, all the wonderful, amazing, and incredible things they have done/are doing/will do.

That's not to say that you shouldn't have CONFIDENCE, but sadly, there is a fine line between a healthy combination of confidence and flat out arrogance.  A line so very fine, it's often blurred by our society.

And while we're talking about confidence, what the heck, dictionary.com defines confidence as:

con-fi-dence

-noun

1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing

2. belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance

Now, just for laughs, let's see what (yes, you guessed it) dictionary.com says about arrogance:

ar-ro-gance

-noun

offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride

As human beings I truly believe that we should all "check" ourselves from time to time.  Let us make sure we are not, in fact, the things that drive us the most crazy in others.

(did that even make sense? hah)

So by all means, keep your head up high, be proud of your achievements.  Just remember that you're not the only one working hard, accomplishing dreams, or solving world peace.  We're all in this together baby.  Let's try and remember that every once in awhile.

Just puttin it out there.  That's all.
