When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself looking
back at you
or is it a reflection of what others want you to be?
In Darius Lux’s new CD, Arise, he examines the struggles
we all face in
determining who we are and who we should be. We all battle
with the
influences of friends, family and even the world around
us that tries to
tell us everything from how we should dress to what we should
think. In
the featured song, "Listen", Darius reminds us
that we have to listen
to our heart and decide what is best for us. While it is
scary at the
moment, we know it is the right thing to do.
It is a difficult decision to go on our own path and against
what others
believe is right for us. We want everyone’s approval
as a sort of comfort
or security so we feel we are doing what we are supposed
to be doing.
However, as he talks about in "Life Goes On",
if we don’t choose to
be who we believe we should be, we will suffer from the
never ending fear
of failing to live up to other’s expectations.
For each one of us, life can be full of different fears
but we have to
remember that fear is a choice that we choose to have. When
we decide
that we don’t want it and we have chosen to believe
in ourselves instead,
we find that we begin to receive the things in life we hoped
for. Rather
than standing in line and just doing what we're told, Darius
points
to how we are free to live the lives that we feel we should
have and that
it is a choice we make. In the song, 'XtraOrdinary', Darius
expresses how
our lives, the people in them and each moment that passes
are more than
ordinary if only we take the time to focus on the uniqueness
and beauty.
Life is often a wall of noise constantly coming at us. Everyone
wants to
give us their opinion or advice. Too often we don’t
choose whether the
advice we receive is the right one for us. Darius hands
us a very simple
and true reminder, the best advice is to turn off other’s
influences and
listen to what is inside you. It will lead you where you
need to go.
