"الأغنية التي جئت لأغنيها لم تُغنَّ"

Sometimes, life doesn't go as planned. You know, you've got this dream, this vision of what you want to do, and then—poof—it doesn't happen. That’s basically what the quote is getting at. It's about having something important inside you that you never get to share, whether it's because you didn't get the chance, you were too scared, or life just took you somewhere else.

Think about it. Imagine someone who's always wanted to be a musician. They spend years learning piano, writing music, dreaming of standing on stage and feeling that rush of performing. But then, reality hits. They need to make a living, so they get a 9-to-5 job, maybe in an office or a retail store. They keep telling themselves they'll get back to music, but days turn into weeks, weeks into years, and suddenly, that dream is just a "what if." That’s an example of a song that’s gone unsung.

A real-life example could be Vincent Van Gogh. He created over 2,000 artworks in his lifetime, but he was virtually unknown during his life. He sold only one painting. Today, his work is celebrated all over the world, but during his lifetime, he might have felt that his "song" was never heard.

So, how can we apply this wisdom in our own lives? First, it’s about recognizing what your "song" is. What’s that thing you’ve always wanted to do? Once you know, you’ve got to make time for it, even if it’s just a little bit every day. Drop the fear of failure and just go for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect. The act of doing it is what counts.

Let’s get into a relatable scenario. Picture this: Sarah always wanted to write a book. She’s told herself for years she’ll do it "someday." But between work, family, and just the chaos of life, she never gets around to it. One day, she’s cleaning out her attic and finds an old journal where she’d written story ideas. She reads through them and feels a pang of regret. But instead of just feeling sad about it, she makes a decision—she’s going to write. She starts setting aside 30 minutes every evening, right after the kids go to bed. It’s tough, and there are days she’s exhausted, but she sticks with it. Two years later, she’s holding a finished manuscript. It’s not about getting published or becoming famous. It’s about knowing she didn’t let her song go unsung.

The bottom line? Don’t let fear, doubt, or the busyness of life silence your song. Whatever it is, find a way to sing it—loudly, softly, imperfectly, but sing it. Because if you don’t, you might end up looking back with regret, wondering what could have been. And that’s a feeling much harder to shake off than the fear of trying. So, what’s your song? And when are you going to start singing it?
