...Little star how I wonder what you are." This is what I listen to over the monitor after Marley goes to bed. It's been a tough few nights, after being sick last week and having no problems going to sleep she has wanted to stay down stair the last two nights. Twinkle twinkle is her favorite song currently. Writing this blog I ponder, what is it about children singing that makes you smile? Is the nasally little voice, or the yelling as loud as they can, or the joy on their face, or the sheer lack of inhibition that we envy?
Why is it that 2 1/2 year olds can sing at the top of their lungs like no one is watching and at some point we stop doing that. Why not belt out "twinkle twinkle" or for that matter "Living on a Prayer"? How did we become so self conscience and concerned about what other people think of us? Whether in the car or walking down the street, at the gym or in the store.
Why not Rock out to Adele and share it with those around you? Rather than stopping, ask other to join you, and if they don't that's okay, there is no reason for you to stop. This is your journey, your life and you only get one. So why hold back, why not belt it out, why let other people's rigidity and judgements stunt your growth?
Today I leave you with this, your challenge is to "dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like you'll never be hurt". Why wait, you may not get another chance.
In the word on Jon Bon Jovi:
"Whooah, we're half way there,
Whooah living on a prayer,
Take my hand we'll make it - I swear,
Whooah living on a prayer"
If you know the word keep going....in the car...with everyone watching.......Rock hands and all......
Namaste!
