Thanks to Stevie Wonder for that great title; there are two great 'pop' songs that, when you listen and think on the lyrics, really slam me in the face about how we should live. (I'm sure there are many more but these are the ones for me).
The first is 'Beautiful' by Carole King. The first two lines of the chorus:
"You've got to every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world, all the love in your heart."
Just do this every morning and I promise your day will be fabulous. Yes, I know there are times when you wake up and for whatever reason, you feel pretty lousy; however, you can still force yourself to smile. Stand in front of the mirror and give yourself a beaming smile for 30 seconds. You will elevate your mood and then actually feel like smiling the whole day.
The second is 'All You Need is Love' by The Beatles. Lines like:
"There's nothing you can do that can't de done;
There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung;
There's nothing you can make that can't be made."
Just these three lines tell me that, if I can imagine myself being someone, creating something or achieveing something, I am able to make it happen.
"Whatever your mind can conceive and belive, it can achieve" Napoloen Hill.
Imaginatiion is the key; if you can imagine a path to take and how you would feel if you were a (fill in the blank), if you can really 'see' yourself there, then with firm belief you can make it happen.
No-one ever created anything without 'seeing' it completed first.
Have a fantastic day,
Mark
PS. both songs are on YouTube; go and have a listen. You may find many more with the same message.
