We were meant to live for so much more

I was in the gym last week and this song by Switchfoot came on in the spin-class and I got hooked on the tag line in the chorus:

"We were meant to live for so much more - have we lost ourselves?"

And that line kept churning over in my mind - we were meant to live for so much more...we were meant to live for so much more...I was meant to live for so much more...

Last week I heard that a friend of ours in the UK had lost her mum to cancer after she had been ill for a number of months, and the week before my parents lost a close friend of theirs, and the dad of my first girlfriend, to cancer too.

Sometimes in the past I've felt like I've lost myself - but with so much pain and heartache around, it makes me more determined to ensure that I don't end my life wondering if I was meant to live for so much more...
