Songs that inspire action

hi rawbill1! yes, these are the same songs. i'm glad you noticed. lol! well, i'm happy that in a way my discussion (link here, http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2674398.aspx) got you into thinking about this discussion of yours. seriously, i think the 1st discussion achieved one purpose of mylot which is to spur action. i know that these songs aren't your thing bill given your penchant for rock music. yes, miley is all grown up now, i think she's engaged. the reason why i've liked her is because my daughter is a big fan of her series 'hannah montana'. she had her third birthday with a 'hannah montana' theme so you can say that it was quite a hit with her friends. lol about your comment about the states being a third world country in the future. there's a certain truth into it. asia being the continent of the future isn't too far-fetched. china is here so is japan and india. most countries are outsourcing their industries in asia and when it comes to natural and people resources, i think asia can hold its own against the other parts of the world. ok, enough about this as i don't want to instigate a world war. lol! back to the topic on hand, i would say that i also felt before. i really couldn't just think of one song that spurred me into action but rather a whole list of songs. for the life of me, i can't even think of even just one right now. i'll most likely bump this thread when i think of one. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

thanks for the best response tag mate! amazing how music affects us. in the end though, its really up to the listener if it would be a positive one or not. here's hoping that it is always a positive one. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

Aren't those the same two songs that we we talking about in your discussion last week? In a way I think it was that discussion that got me thinking in order to start this one. You inspired me to take action! Those songs are not really my thing, but if they inspire you to take action with the ladies, then it is great, good luck with that. Hasn't Miley Cyrus grown up nicely! LOL "party like you are in some first world country" The way things are going, the USA might be third world in a generation or so. I believe that Asia is where it is at for the future.

Thanks MsTickle! It was amazing how putting ourselves out there opened up other opportunities that would never have come if I had continued working. Although it was tough financially for a while and scary, it has been well worth it for the time that I have had with my kids being able to be involved in more of their day to day school activities and such.

Music certainly can enhance our emotions, both good and bad depending on the music. It can also energise us and change our emotional state if we listen to something positive and uplifting when we are feeling down. Music is quite amazing...any wonder it is a massive industry these days.

There were definitely other factors involved in my decision to leave my career, such as business courses that I was doing, but this song is what tipped me over the edge. The line "Hold on now, your exit's here, it's waiting just for you " kept playing over and over in my mind.

Music definitely has the ability to stir up our emotions in both good and bad ways. My taste in music is quite varied, so I always like to say that I like music that moves me. It has to make me feel like tapping my feet or hands or move me emotionally inside, regardless of the genre of music that it is. Most mainstream popular music does not do this for me. I have never understood people that are not interested in music. I have two friends who I have noticed do not own a music collection and never talk about their favourite music at all. I find it very strange.

Awesome! I am really glad that you got something positive out of the song. The lines "Life is short, but your here to flower and Don't be scared of what you cannot see, your only fear is possibility" made me realise that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. That fear was holding me back and that I had to take the leap.

I completely agree about fear. I needed to continue supporting my young family so there was definitely a lot of fear about how we would survive without that $1000 every week to live on. It was tough for a while but after a year or so we were back on track.

I like a lot of the older music too. Such songs have always made me move emotionally, but have never really played on my emotions as much as this song did. If it had been released at a different point in my life, it would have had little impact I feel.

Yes, your song may still be coming! I think that it is a matter of where we are at at the time. If we are contemplating such a bold move as I was, you can read certain things into a lot of songs, but this song's timing was perfect for me. Any later or earlier and I would not have been as moved by it. Timing was everything.
