Against the grain

“Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’ll never live it twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life”

Lyrics excerpted from Nickelback’s song “If Today Was Your Last Day”. This song holds a great deal of meaning for me; you could say it’s my reminder to go after what I want in life and damn the naysayers (that nagging inner voice of mine known as ‘fear’ included).
