That has been one of my favorite quotes for a long time.

You are worth value. I saw a video of a preacher tossing a 20 dollar bill around asking some one if they wanted it after all the silliness and then he reminded the crowd - after all that - it hasn’t lost it value. What a simple little reminder of something so heavy. Life takes us on ups and downs and even does a number on us some times that can leave us feeling like... well crap. On the sad days and the bad days the happy and the glad days ... your value is still the same. In you is still that potential as a human being to be able to accomplish and overcome and shine and be the example you choose to be... regardless of what’s up with the what’s up. There’s a old saying ... regardless of the sky , the sun shines behind it. I’m not saying everything sunshine and rainbows but it’s up to you - your focus. Remember - no matter the sky - no matter what’s going on - your still A Jeddist - your still a human being - your still the one your story is about - remember that ! You are the Hero- in your story - you are what brings the story to life. Fill it !

Happy Monday all - as joy and healthy habit now - I try on Monday’s to post things Jeddistic and helpful and maybe even thought and feeling provoking - today is no exception.
In my home Monday is music Monday’s ( I home school my 6 year old son)
Do you have a song that fires you up or that points you in that direction of focus ? Share with - I really wanna know - I’ll share two : maybe more if you post yours hahaha

My fav band Linkin Park: The Messenger

When you feel you're alone
Cut off from this cruel world
Your instincts telling you to run
Listen to your heart
Those angel voices
They'll see you to you
They'll be your guide
Back home where life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
It keeps us kind
When you suffered it all
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight
Remember your love
And you always will be
This melody will always bring
You right back home
When life leaves us blind
Love, keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

And why?
The messenger is a song to me that reminds me of home ... I identify with those feelings of loneliness at times- and a good return is always for me home.
Harder Faster Stronger was a song I heard during my DJ ing days and I have a crush on Daft P and LP - won’t lie. I connect with them on a personal way. H /F/ S is a reminder to do better for me - no matter the deed - master it ! The progression is a dance riff and fun to dance to but at the same time it’s a song that moves me forward and encourages me.
Two bands I may never see live. Any how - what’s your jams and why? Share ? Looking forward. I posted the YouTube versions and it’s toutube that owns those and they can expire and all rights and reserve to them and the artist n so forth - just sharing a song - feel free to buy the albums and look em up on your own way or app or howeva you do it ! May the Force be with y’all ! Can’t wait !

I thought you might have wanted my heart
You taste it, I fall and writhe
In my life I've gone over, you were right
In my life this will never go away

Do what you want to, all will haunt you
All is water, all I wanted.
You have got to, not want to...got to.
All is water, all is life!

Down on my own,
The paralyzing friction was love again
Set on my own,
the wheels are now ready to roll

And I know you're sleeping tonight
And I hope you're dreaming of light
I thought you might have wanted my high
You taste it, I fall and writhe

In my life I've gone over, you were right
In my life this will never go away

Down on my own,
I'm paralyzed, afflicted by love and death
Set on my own,
the muse is not ready to roll

And I know you're sleeping tonight
And I hope you're dreaming of light

Have you found a way?
'Cause you and I remain
And, oh, my god, it's too late to pray

Say the word!

Down on my own,
I'm paralyzed, afflicted by love and death
Set on my own,
the muse is now ready to roll

And I know you're sleeping tonight (I have a fight and I have a right of way)
And I hope you're dreaming of light (I have a fight and I have a right of way)
And I know you're sleeping tonight (I have a fight and I have a right of way)
And I hope you're dreaming of me.

If I knew your words, in through your mind, silently.

oops, this one goes hand in hand too.

Midnight sun is rising
You had always known
That my life is yours.
The sun sets in the desert
And you will always be
Though you're gone, we see the sun!
I know, cause we're together now.
In my dream.
The sun sets in the desert, but you will always be...
Though you're gone, we see the sun
I know, cause we're together now
I know, cause we're together now
I know, always...
Home...
Dream... (you bought the wonderful dream...)

Why these?
