Steff Reed - Armageddon (Original Song) | Amplified

Steff Reed performs his original song “Armageddon" in an exclusive live recording session in Brooklyn, NY. This song is about seizing the day and living your life to the fullest, right now! I realized that I've spent so much of my life living in the future, doubting myself, and believing that I'm not worthy of the life that I dream of. Perpetually telling myself 'one day....' for whatever life goal or desire I had, when in reality, tomorrow isn't guaranteed. All we have is right now. If I were to die tomorrow, could I say that I lived? if not, then what is the mindset shift I need to have today to live a fuller, intentional and purposeful life now? You only get one shot at life, what are you doing with that shot? did you truly live? Steff Reed is a Musician, Educator, and Activist.
