We Are Not Nameless Nor Faceless

Today I heard the great song by Papa Roach, “Born For Greatness.” This song always reminds me of C. S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces. Both the song and book remind us how important a clear and honest understanding of ourselves is. We are encouraged to live authentically and confidently knowing our uniqueness is our power.

I love the lines in “Born For Greatness,” “So if you’re running, stop running; One life, one chance, start living; Sing it louder just to let the world know; No we’re not nameless, we’re not faceless; We were born for greatness.” We cannot avoid life or opportunities out of fear or hesitation. We need to face things head-on.

We have only one life, so we need to make the most of it and live each day in a meaningful way. We are also reminded to be confident in showing who we are and sharing our voice. Every person has worth and unique qualities. We are not nameless. We are not faceless. As C. S. Lewis said in Till We Have Faces, “How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?” We were ALL born for greatness!
