Find Your Song Remember that show from the late '90's, "Ally McBeal?" She was an unconventional, rather confused
Boston attorney who periodically sought the advice of a therapist (one of Tracy Ullman's quirky characters). Anyway,
the therapist told Ally that she needed to discover and sing "her song." I recall at the time, I knew instantly
that my song was "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. And while I tend to forget about my song over
time, occasionally when I'm a bit down, that tune will creep into my mind, and I'll start singing it in my
head. That almost always lifts my mood.
What's most important about having and singing your song is that
it serves as a little window into who you are. And by that I mean the authentic you. That version
of you who is real... vulnerable...uncensored. Because, when we're vulnerable and uncensored we are the most accessible version
of our selves. This is also the best place from which to grow and achieve our personal goals.
So maybe
you can think about which song you might claim as your's. And own it. Sing it proudly and notice how it gives you energy,
and hopefully serves as your own private cheering section!
