Rise Above This

I always feel empowered with I listen to Seether's song, Rise Above This. Is that weird? Well, weird or not, the line "I'm fallen down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this," translates to many people in many difficult situations. The song is referring to a relationship but I believe music is what we make of it. That being said, this song represents many people that I've met and certainly represents bits of myself.

I think there are so many courageous people out there who do rise above "this". Whether "this" be weight loss, heartache, work obstacles, etc, the way in which we go about dealing with "this" somehow represents a big part of what and who we are. Rising above this to me means using grace, strength and a form of controlled elegance in dealing with challenging situations.
