You want to know the kind of moments that I live for in life?
Well, I ran across the type of moments that I live for recently when someone on Facebook posted a video that I’m going to post in a second right below this paragraph. It’s a moment taken off an interview given by Oprah to the musician/producer Pharrell Williams. Now you don’t need to know who these people are specifically because what happens to Pharrell is something that can happen to all of us and should as much as we can in life in my opinion. Now take moment to watch the video of the interview and after I will make some more comments.
Go ahead... I will wait...
For Pharrell to sit back and take in the response that many people had with something that he created is something beyond words. Because really there are no words for these types of moments. Instead Pharrell shows the impact with his own tears. Its one thing to create something, but its something so much more when others connect to it. When something becomes elevated beyond even yourself there is such a magical energy that lies there. Some call this love. No matter what you call it that my friends is the kind of stuff that I live for.
I have had similar moments with things that I have created myself. Many moments like the one in that video I just share with you just in the things that I have written in this blog alone. Its a big part of why I continue to write. Even if I connect with just one other person on some level, that alone makes it worth the effort to write it.
This video I just shared with you and some other things in life recently have pushed me back on a path of more creation. Its interesting too because the things that I have created seem to flow so much easier than they use to when I tried years ago. Maybe its because of the work that I have done with myself that has cleared the channels of creativity for activation. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’m going to take advantage of it by creating more in my life.
Don’t even think for a minute that I was going to skip over talking about the song that started this moment with Pharrell, then myself, and then so many others on this planet. The song is of course called “Happy” by Pharrell William who is one part of the producing duo called The Neptunes. The Neptunes did many of the top hits on the radio at the end of the 90’s and into the 2000’s. Since then Pharrell has taken on many projects for his on persona. His latest album is a much better solo album than the one he put out many years ago. I’m not the first to hear this song or even talk about it, but that is not really the point. The point is that I'm sharing this with you. Since November of last year he has had a website up to promote for this song. On this website the song "Happy" plays over and over with video of different people dancing to the song in a 24 hour loop. I have watched parts of it many different times and it's a lot of fun. That idea for the website alone was a pretty brilliant move of creativity. Lets go to the lyrics.
"Happy"
[Verse 1:]
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way
[Chorus:]
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here’s why
(I love this part of the song. It’s such a positive way of looking at life. Bad news always comes and tries to take your happiness away. You got to roll with the punches and don’t let it keep you down.)
[Chorus]
Hey, come on
[Bridge:]
(happy)
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
I said
(More of that positivity and I love it! You can’t bring me down.)
[Chorus 2x]
Hey, come on
(happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… my level's too high…
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)
[Chorus 2x]
Come on
(Come on *waives you in to follow us* and join us...and clap along...)
The idea that happiness is an experience not a destination is something I often try to remind myself. However, I do believe that we can create an environment that can be a happy place or desination to live in for sure. I think that is always the goal in life so we must continue to put that effort out into the world. It certainly is for me. So, wonderful people, dig deep and find what really makes you shine. Dig deep and bring that inner shine out to the world and help create happy wonderful moments for yourself and others in this world!
As always I bring this to you with soooooo much love and pure D-lite. = )
