Carol King's Music Inspires

Bookmark and Share
Hey there everyone!!

Carol King - Beautiful You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

That's the beginning of Carol King's song, written over four decades ago, and is just as profound today as ever.

Smile - Adorable!Last week I had a tough day, so my Pick-Me-Up Protocol got initiated, and Carol King's song started to play in my head. It made me smile. :)

That evening, there was a speaker cancellation at our Toastmasters meeting so I volunteered to deliver an impromptu speech.

In my improvised presentation, I reflected on Carol King's song and the profound wisdom in the lyrics. This is what I came up with.

“You've Got To”

You are responsbile for your life only.Take Personal Responsibility. Nobody can do it for you. You've got to be in charge of your life.

“Get Up Every Morning”

W are what we repeatedly do - AristotlePower of Consistency. It's not what you do today, but what you do everyday that makes the biggest impact on daily living.

“Smile On Your Face”

You've got a face for a smile, you know.Emotion is Created by Physiology. It's not enough to think positive. But a smile, despite cultural and language barriers, has the power to turn a life around.

“Show the World”

There's something in you that the world needs...Be Proactive. It's not just who we're being, but who we're being in the world that co-creates our experience. Fulfillment comes from creative self-expression.

“All the Love in Your Heart”

Come to love with your heart, not with your eyes.Authentic Communication. It's nice to point at external stimulus for inspiration (like a song), but human connection happens between individuals who let down their guards and are vulnerable.

“People Gonna Treat You Better”

"A kind gesture can reach a would that only compassion can heal." - Steve MaraboliJuice of Life Lives in Everyday Conversations. We can't change the laws of physics, or re-engineer a dysfunctional society overnight. However, it is an involuntary human impulse to be nice to people who are glowing.

“You're Gonna Find”

Plot twist.  Waldo finds himself.It's An Ongoing Process. We all forget. And then we get a trigger (like the music in a song), which reminds us of our deeper truth.

“You're As Beautiful As You Feel”

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset.Happiness is an Emotional Decision. Our feelings may be reactions to conditions, or they can be commanded by consciousness. If you want to be happy, then be.

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

Let's love the world together...

Love,
