Gypsy Soul – Who?

This song by Gypsy Soul asks some profound questions about life and how you live it. All of these questions boil down to: how can you engage life now, such that you will leave the kind of legacy you desire? Are you living now the way you’d like to be remembered?

Ever since I first heard it a couple years ago, the haunting words and melody pop into my head every few days, compelling me to reflect upon how I might answer these questions:

Do I give enough? Do I love enough? Do I live enough?
Did I ever give up on anyone I shouldn’t have?
Do I risk enough? Do I forgive enough? Do I trust enough?
Am I good enough?

I don’t approach these questions as a test of my personal adequacy…because I know I’m always growing, and so in that respect, I know I’m fine just the way I am.

Rather, I use these questions as a measure of how well I’m following my compass. If I’m always asking myself questions like these, I know I’m pointed in the right direction.
