Better In Time

Alright, it's time for a little musical inspiration. This artist became one of my absolute favourites over the summer. He changed my world. His music is soulful, intelligent, and beautifully composed. He's from Montreal and has such a unique voice. Now the first song I heard by him is called "I Wonder" and it is the reason I'm hooked. The song I'm going to talk about though is called Better In Time. And the artist I'm talking about is Bobby Bazini.

If you really listen to the lyrics they are simple and to the point. He leaves the story up to you. I think the really beautiful thing about this song is that it immediately takes you to a place in time, and without effort you have this unique story in mind; unique because it's yours.  The chorus is simply:

"If you wonder if it'll be alright 

Well, it's better in time"

I really do believe that time heals all wounds. Time is one of the only things we can rely on, the only thing that never fails, falters, or forgets. It is incessantly present and it's something you are constantly aware of. Whether you want it to or not, time moves forward. It means nothing will last forever; the good or the bad. While we might be saddened by this when things are going well we have to remember that when things are bad it's only temporarily so. It will get better. Now, when I say this I don't mean you can just sit there and wait for time to do the work. All time does is offer you the opportunity to make it better yourself. It won't do it for you.

Bobby Bazini

Time offers you the chance to be strong, to learn, to change, to grow, and to accept the things that you need to. If offers you the opportunity to change paths, to find new dreams and goals, to try something new, and to get up and face your fears. Time does heal all wounds but you have to be willing to work along side it. Time can't do it alone.

With Bobby's simple message we learn so much. Nothing is permanent, and nothing lasts forever. You can change where you are, what you do, and how you handle your time. In the end it will help you to the path you want. Life throws mountains at everyone, it's just something you should expect. What makes everyone unique and special is the different ways that we each attack our problems and our fears. But that is the key, we have to attack our problems and face our fears to achieve what we want.


Essentially my point is that life is happening now. We don't get a chance to redo it. I know I just said that we can rely on time to always move forward, and while this is true we must remember that it isn't guaranteed. Life can change in an instant and we only get one lifetime to be who we were meant to be. This is it and worrying about every little thing will get you nowhere. Reacting positively and enjoying all that you can is what it is all about. It will get better eventually-- only time will tell exactly how it will happen. Don't spend your days worrying about things you can't control, or even the things that you can. If you believe in yourself and work hard to achieve your goals you will find exactly how time is indeed on your side.

In the words of Bobby Bazini:

 "It's better in time, so don't worry"
