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.

Katie Freiling is a blogger who writes about personal development and online marketing. In this video, she sums up her recent personal transformation odyssey to Hawaii, shows us the killer beachfront pad where she spent her days, and speaks about her topic of the day—awareness—the real key to personal transformation and self-mastery. The mind (and our thoughts and emotions which are the fuel that drives it along) is such a powerful tool, we frequently mistake it for all we are. The very realization that the mind is just a tool leads us to the realization that, from moment to moment, we can choose how to use that tool. The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. Watch the video to see what Katie’s got to say, it’s awesome.
