Are You Singing Your Song?

ChrisG · 03-14-2011, 06:44 PM

Thank you for this one, Erin.

I've had to stop singing for a while whilst I study for my final exams in May. I do miss it... (Edit: I may yet be able to find a way to squeeze it back in!)

I think my song is about "Experiencing"/"Exploring" and "Personal Power", but I feel like it should be about contributing through the arts or academically/intellectually. The challenge for me is to realise that those are value judgements; what I feel like I should do, rather than what I really want to do. I want to explore; I want to go travel and I like developing my capabilities. That means something to me.

It's amazing how your blog posts always come at the right time for me (maybe you're psychic?

). I'm exactly at that point of wondering what I'm supposed to be doing and how to discover the answer while still paying the bills...

This has been a running theme of mine for a couple years - learning what my song is and how to sing it and learning how to ive authentically, aligned with my Truths. It's not easy, but then, why am I making it hard? But, I am singing more.... and I am no longer depressed, nor filled with anxiety. It's a step.

Thanks for spreading such empowering blogs and thoughts to help spur us into action.

Not new, but I have been loving this since you first quoted it on twitter, Erin:

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.”
