Lyrical Genius

Given what you lost, are you better off?
Given what you had, has it made you mad?
Celebrate the few, celebrate the new
It can only start with you


I read these lyrics and it pushes me to think about my life.  I wonder if I truly celebrate the things that are few and good and new. I feel like I spend a lot of time wasting around, waiting for something or another to happen.  I am in the midst of a process through faithfulness, and I wonder if this is just a step ahead of me.  Given everything I've faced, have I been faithful?  No matter what I've lost or gained, no matter how people act towards me or any circumstance, have I been faithful.  It's just such a great composition of words.  It only starts with me, am I willing to be faithful?  I have such a draw to sit around and let myself essentially sin.  I seem unwilling to commit to things and I wonder why.  Can't I just be a motivated individual who is willing to sacrifice everything for others.  I mean Schindler went through hell trying to save people, I mean he gave all he had.  Where is my zeal?  Where is the life that comes out of giving?  Why am I so deceived by thoughts of grandeur?  Where is my head?  Where is my trust?  My faith?  Why am I so stuck in easy life, and unwillingness to suffer through most things.  I don't understand me.  I wish I could just make myself read, work, and be productive all the time.  I feel like I just waste time all the time.  God what needs to change in my life?  What do I need to truly surrender?  How do I do that?  Why do I struggle with this?
