I lift weights in the morning to a Spotify mix of mostly classic rock and Rocky soundtracks. On occasion “Man Against the World” (Survivor) plays, I wait to see what plays next. Quite often the subsequent track can suggest what my day will be like. On several occasions, the song was followed by “We Will Rock You” (Queen). Today was such a day.
In the past, I felt the combination might imply that it was going to be a rough day. This morning, however, it occurred to me that I have a choice. Today, and every day, it is, indeed, me “against the world”. It is possible that Queen is the world, but it is equally possible that Queen is me. The latter is the better outlook.
I have a choice, today. I can let the world “rock” me, or I can “rock” the world. I think the world had better watch out. The A-side of the single is, of course, “We are the Champions”. (In this case, the B-side is always played first.)
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
