Legendary. It’s one of my favorite words.
The simple idea around it — that you can be great, that you can make a difference — is appealing to many people, including myself.
I am an ambitious person. (Many people are.)
But sometimes it feels like you’ll never make it in this world, never truly inspire anyone, and disappear without a trace.
Enter Playlist: Legendary.
Let’s go try something new.
What does it mean to be legendary?
So maybe you’re like me, and you’ve got huge dreams that reach up to the sky and beyond. Maybe you have a long way to go before you reach those goals. Maybe it feels like you’ll never reach those goals.
Well, let me tell you something.
It’s possible you’ll never reach those goals, and hopes, and dreams. It’s possible that you never actually tick off all the things in your list of life ambitions. But let me tell you that even if you don’t reach these goals, it doesn’t stop you from being able to make a difference in the world.
You can be great. You can be famous, even. And sure, maybe that’s your definition of legendary. It’s not wrong.
But you can be legendary in your own way. You are legendary in your own way. Even if you’re not famous, even if your dreams haven’t come true yet, that’s okay. You are still making a difference in the lives of those around you. You don’t see it, because it’s usually subtle. Every day, you are influencing other people’s decisions, you are sowing seeds into others, you are a ripple spreading into waters larger than you’ve ever dreamed.
Even if you aren’t remembered in history books, you can be a legend now. Because the world wouldn’t be the same without you. And besides… with great power, comes great responsibility 😉
So here’s my playlist. It’s to remind you that you’re legendary, even if you don’t feel like it. It’s to remind you that you can still do great things, even if you’re far away from your goals and dreams. It’s to remind you that wherever you are now in life, you still have potential.
1. Immortals — Fall Out Boy
Ever since I heard this song in Big Hero 6 (one of my favorite movies), it’s remained with me. I think it effectively emphasizes all the times when your self esteem is at a new high and everything seems to be going well with your website, business, etc.
2. Legendary — Welshly Arms
Is this mildly aggressive? Yeah, it is. I still like it, though 😛
3. Champion — Bishop Briggs
YOU ARE A CHAMPION.
4. Heroes — Zayde Wolf
This is a song that I have in another playlist [surrounding one of my WIPs, the one with a band of broken misfits], but agh it’s so inspiring.
5. White Flag — Bishop Briggs
Some more aggressive encouragement for you 🙂
6. Walk Through the Fire — Zayde Wolf (feat. Ruelle)
Another squad song! I have such a weakness for these.
7. Centuries — Fall Out Boy
This may be old, but it’s stuck with me until now. I think that it brings back those good ol’ memories of youth and high times [but like not weed kind of high. Please don’t do drugs].
8. Live Like Legends — Ruelle
Finally, we bring back the word legend.
Because my friend, you are a legend. You have the capability to inspire and influence others. You rock.
That’s all for now!
By this point, “that’s all for now” has become the opening line to signal that I’m tying things up and I probably just need to accept that.
Tell me, are there any songs that inspire you or motivate you? Any ones that make you feel like a champion? Which ones?
This post was kind of an unusual one, but I did enjoy it, so maybe you’ll see more of my music tastes in the future 😉
Make your mark,
