I woke up the other day with this song flying around my head - for about the first hour of the day I found myself singing 'oh lord, it's hard to be humble...when you're perfect in every way...' Most peculiar as I NEVER listen to this song. I don't own it, I haven't heard it on the radio for YEARS, and yet there it was "I can't wait to look in the mirror cos I get better looking each day" I pondered for a while what it could mean. You may have heard of the theory that lyrics that get stuck in your head have a message for you...well, I get weird songs stuck in my head all the time so I don't often subscribe to that theory, BUT, then it hit me. To know me is to love me, well I must be one hell of a man No, not that I am one hell of a man, but that the theme song most of us sing is the exact opposite of this. oh Lord, what have I done now? Can I not get ANYTHING right? Oh great, I'm looking in the mirror at a new wrinkle, I look older, fatter, worse than yesterday To know me is to know that I am a bundle of insecurities, fears and flaws And so the 'song' goes on. Constantly chipping away at our self-esteem, undermining us, making us feel bad about ourselves. Well, do you know what? I've had enough of it! You? You see you? You are beautiful You have a smile that lights up the world You are so gifted in so many ways When you do what you are supposed to be doing in this world, you light up When you light up, the world around you lights up And this world needs you to see how utterly magnificent you are This world needs you to do the work you're here to do This world needs you to do what brings you joy and lights you up This world needs you to see that your inner light shines brighter every day That you get better looking each day That you become a better person every day That you, YOU, are special and brilliant and fabulous And you are a hell of a woman (or man) Sing a new song to yourself every day. Sing a song that reminds you of your magnificence, not your flaws. Because your flaws are just a small part of the magnificence that is you - perfect in every way! It's time to throw some of that humility out of the window, stand in your power and claim your utter magnificence. Now. Just in case you don't know the song, here's a version with the muppets... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn1Qolv4ntQ Now you'll have it stuck in your head too...sorry! Love Donna.x PS what songs get stuck in your head?
