“It’s about living your life, doing things your own way, and bringing your self back from being lost!”

Earlier this week I met with a friend of mine who is facing some challenging situations. Situations that are all too common among people, but still emotionally trying and painful to go through.
Anytime we are facing a challenge, many times the first resource we should check with is ourselves, but we don’t.
Moments after my friend and I walked to our cars, this song came on my radio. This was the first time I had heard it. Instantly I sent a text message to my friend to turn on the radio.

The chorus of the song really jumped out at me.
Tell me please . . .
Will you one time . . .
Let me be myself . . .
So I can shine . . .
With my own light . . .
Let me be myself . . .
For a while . . .
If you don’t mind . . .
Let me be myself . . .
So I can shine . . .
With my own light . . .
Let me be myself . . .
That’s all I ever wanted from this world . . . is to . . . let me be me!

I see a lot of people doing things because of other things or people. I hear people talk about how they want things to be, but make excuses for why it can’t happen.
I love this song, but it’s asking another person for permission to live your life. How about starting by asking youself and granting yourself permission to live your life.
When you do this . . . your life will change!
Taking a step back and taking a moment to reflect on the best action is the best thing anyone can do. I often think people should do this when they comment on Blogs or news media as well, they tend to not understand the lasting impression of their comments. Especially those that fail to identify themselves and choose to hide behind their made up name. Be yourself and stand up and be recognized.
