Coincidentally, both of my children graduated this year – Kevin is heading off for his 1st year at University and Stacey just finished her Masters program in the US.   They each have a whole new life ahead of them, planning for the future and making major decisions.  It’s what I call, having ‘the world at your feet’!

What about you?  Are you also ready to experience something new and exciting?  Do you want your life to just ‘slide by’ or do you want to live ‘joyously and with passion’?  I truly believe, no matter what your age is or what things are going on in your life,  you can still have The World is at Your Feet!  

Lara Fabian is one of my favorite artists, who sings in Italian, Spanish and English.  Born in Brussels, Belgium, and now a Canadian citizen, she has an amazing biography.  The lyrics from her song, The World at Your Feet, caught my attention when thinking about my kids going off to live their new lives.  She sang this piece at the 2002 FIFA world soccer cup and totally moved the audience.

I hope it will give you inspiration and a time to reflect on your desires and your dreams, now and in the future!

Listen here to her remarkable voice:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgOA1kI6JO4 and enjoy her lyrics transcribed below.

Oh yeah
We can leave the dream this time
We’ve had a chance to stand so tall
Everything we want our lives would be
We can make our mark in history

Right at your feet

Gotta reach from your heart
And believe from the start
Can’t you see there’s a world at your feet
Gotta fight so much more
Than what you had before
Just believe that the world’s at your feet

I know we shouldn’t hesitate
And resume any time to think of the next step we’d take
Gotta seize the chance before your eyes
Gotta reach your goal to take the prize

Don’t you realize?

Gotta reach from your heart
And believe from the start
Can’t you see there’s a world at your feet
Gotta fight so much more
Than what you had before
Just believe that the world’s at your feet

Have a mountain to climb
Everyday of your life
Have a heart as wide as the ocean
Million eyes are watching you
Wonderin’
Wonderin’ what you’re gonna do
Right here, right now
You’re everything to prove
Oh, yeah

Can’t you see there’s a world at your feet?

(Gotta reach from your heart) From your heart
(And believe from the start) From the start
(Can’t you see there’s a world, there’s a world at your feet, yeah) Your feet
(Just believe that the world)
(The world’s at your feet) The world at your feet
The world at your feet
