[When you’re troubled] A life anthem that stands by your side

Whether in the ordinary days that pass without a second thought or the special ones, isn’t life a series of choices we make every day?

We don’t usually think about it, but once we hesitate and stop to ponder, sometimes it’s hard to find our way out.

We worry about which choice will lead to a better outcome, or whether we’ll fail.

So I’ve picked out some uplifting songs that stay close to a wavering, troubled heart and fill you with courage and strength.

I hope you find a song that fits your heart!
