My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me

I really like this song and video. It's cute. And so is Danny Gokey. He wasn't my favorite American Idol, but he was a good one. Third place isn't a bad finish, either.
I especially like the little notes of encouragement and positivity throughout the video - nothing original, and just slightly corny, but still well done. And it serves its purpose of making people smile. And with phrases like these, how can you NOT?

Life is way too short to be anything but happy
Make better mistakes tomorrow
It goes fast. ENJOY
If not now, then when?
Forgive
Challenge yourself
Stop dreaming, start living
Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
Do what excites you
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Defy mediocrity
Never settle
You are a victim of the rules you live by
Be somebody
Don't worry, everything's going to be amazing
WANDER
Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity
The biggest mistake you can make is being too afraid to make one
It's never too late
Dream big
LIVE NOW


Good job, Gokey. Sometimes it pays NOT to win.
