For those who aren’t familiar with it, my Living With a Dream music compilation is a selection of inspirational songs, with each being selected because it conveys an inspirational message toward achieving a full, happy life. “What You’re Looking For” is one of my favorites.
The words that make this song especially meaningful for me are “trouble less, surrender more”, which to me is about being more present in the moment and not worrying so much about tomorrow. By focusing on the “here and now” and the things we can control vs. those we can’t, we create a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

Here’s the song:
What You’re Looking For – by Michael Brandmeier
Lyrics:
What You’re Looking For
Sometimes it don’t seem right
When things don’t happen overnight you see
It all takes time, but you will find
Life is like a wave
Up and down, night and day it rolls
Just let it go, just let it flow
Chorus:
The best things in this life
Find their way through open doors
So trouble-less, surrender more
That’s when you’ll find
What you’re looking for
So slow down, take a breath
You don’t have to second guess your dream
You will go far, look where you are
Chorus
Say a little prayer tonight
Everything will be all right
Sometimes it don’t seem right
When things don’t happen overnight you see
It all takes time, but you will find
Chorus
Here’s another great song I think you’d like: The Same Mary
