I'm a child of the 90's.  I spent my teenage years making emo Livejournal posts with lyrics from emo and pseudo rock bands.  Thankfully I'm over that phase of my life, but I still use music to make my day & motivate me.

Some of my favorites...

It's up to you now if you sink or swim
Just keep the faith that your ship will come in. 
It's not so big and I say...
Today's just an ordinary day
It's all your state of mind
At the end of the day
You've just have to say it's alright
Ordinary Day // Great Big Sea 

Funny how fallin feels like flying for a little while
Funny how falling feels like flyin for a little while
You never see it comin till it's gone
It all happens for a reason, even when it's wrong
Especially when it's wrong
Fallin' & Flyin' // Jeff Bridges


And my power song right now - no seriously, go listen to this song.  A++++
In a blink your life could change
This could all be yours someday
This could all be yours someday
This Could All Be Yours // Guster
