"I need motivation to prove you wrong, and I will prove you wrong"

Greetings,

I am taking a little break from my normal posts today to highlight a song that has a lot of meaning to me.  In our lives, there are always songs, no matter the genre, that reach inside us and inspire us.  For my own life, the song "Carpe Diem" by August Burns Red inspires me.  Please enjoy the lyrics posted below. 

I've thrown away all of my outside distractions.
I'm diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won't let go.

"It's worthless- a waste of time. This goal is out of reach. You better
Fall back in line."

This is what I need. You are what I need. I need motivation to prove you
Wrong, and I will prove you wrong.

"What makes you think that you are different? How can you chase these
Dreams? They've become a chore."

I know I'm close. I'm almost there. Just a little more, and I will prevail
Through what you call "ignorance."
I will prevail.

Now I've chased this dream to do what I love, and I wouldn't trade it for a
Thing.
Now I've chased this dream, and I made it out alive.
I wouldn't trade it for a thing.
I threw away what naysayers say, and started on a race that I had to win
For myself.

"And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong."

All I've learned is teaching me more.
All I know is driving me on.
