Sharing a Piece of Inspiration… Ben Harper’s Better Way Song

4 Comments

“What good is a man that won’t take a stand? What good is a cynic with no better plans? I believe in a better way.” – Ben Harper ‘Better Way’

We stumble across many inspirational artifacts from all areas of our life on a regular basis. Artifacts ranging from personal experience, travel, arts, music, movies, and the list goes on.

We wanted to share some of these pieces of inspiration more frequently at InspirationTheRide.com in addition to the longer articles and ideas we write about.

Ben Harper’s Better Way song is such a piece.

We were listening to random music from our music library the other day and Ben Harper’s Better Way song played randomly.

This time we heard it, we really heard the words.

You know how you can have an experience, read a book or watch a movie and learn something different each time? Well, that’s what happened to us with Ben Harper’s song and we wanted to share.

For us, this piece says to always seek a better way and never settle for what doesn’t make us happy. Let us all seek fulfillment in our lives and a better way for humanity.

So, without further ado, please listen to Ben Harper’s Better Way and be inspired and moved to believe (and act) in a better way…

6 Inspirational Quotes from the film World’s Fastest Indian

1. “If you don’t follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.” – World’s Fastest Indian

The above is a great quote from the film and it is part of the message we aim to write about here at InspirationTheRide.com.

We want to provide great quotes that we hope inspire you to take action because they have inspired us to take action.

And, if you don’t take action on fulfilling your dreams that only you know in your heart, you may as well be a vegetable….

The World’s Fastest Indian is about a man who never gave up on his dream regardless of his critics and the naysayers. Watch a clip and the trailer here:

2. “Danger is the spice of life. You got to take a risk every now and again… That’s what makes life worthwhile. I’ve always tried to never be scared of anything. Of course I get butterflies and nervous.” – World’s Fastest Indian

The above is another great quote we pulled from the film. Danger can also be interpreted by some as change and this prohibits them from taking action. What you have to do then is acknowledge that we all get these “butterflies” of nervousness, but that shouldn’t stop you from making life worthwhile. We all have our setbacks and get nervous about the fear of failure, but what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

3. “It’s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could’ve done them better – the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.”- Theodore Roosevelt as quoted in World’s Fastest Indian Continue reading 6 Inspirational Quotes from the film World’s Fastest Indian →
