Am reposting this video because it continues to encourage me.

I was blown away this evening from watching the film “Secretariat” and even more inspired from it’s theme song, “It’s Who You Are” sung by AJ Michalka and written by Randall Wallace. Both the movie and the theme song is much more than just “horse racing,” it gives us a glimpse of the roots of success – applicable to every part of our lives.
It’s Who You Are
It’s not the price
It’s not the game
It’s not the score
It’s not the fame
Whatever road looks way too far
It’s not what you have
It’s who you are
It’s not how fast
It’s not how far
It’s not of cheers
It’s who you are
In darkest night
You make your sun
You choose your race
And then you run
It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not about seeing
Who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are
You lose the moon
Then be a star
It’s not too soon
Be who you are
Whatever road looks way too far
It’s not what you have
It’s who you are
It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not about seeing
Who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are
When you have found
How fast you can run
When you have found
Your place in the sun,
It won’t be just you that you’ll find
Has made the run and the climb
It’s everyone
It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not about seeing
Who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
you’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are
It’s who you are
Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky
It’s never how much you have
It’s who you are
I suppose these words written by Randall Wallace resonate with me so much because they remind me about what is important, “It’s never how much you have, It’s who you are”. I agree with these lyrics and would encourage you to let them sink into your life.
Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky
The songwriter, Randall Wallace, also directed the film and I was surprised to discover he also wrote the screenplay for my favorite film, “Braveheart“.
