Here’s a Flashback for this Friday!

I remember back in 4th and 5th grade we would have to learn Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All” during D.A.R.E program and sing it as part of the end of the year performance. It was so empowering as a child and even more so as an adult when you really think about the lyrics.

I am highlighting the following lyrics..

“I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all”

I can attest that the bolded part above is absolutely one of my gifts and curses; I believe in living in my truth, no matter what! That’s not always easy, so you have to ask yourself, is your truth worth the battle it may cause.
If I fail, if I succeed at least I live as I believe.. this reminds me to live without compromising my integrity or who I am, and for that I am thankful!
You live with no regrets that way. Try it out if you’re not already living a life walking your own path, outside of the shadows of others! ♥
