I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but a distrustful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
hey'Cos I believe in you
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I have been told lately many times that I have changed, that I am different in a positive way. In fact, even when I reply by :"yes I did", it's only because I trust the people telling me so more than I trust my own perception.
Truth is that I am still the same person I was. I didn't change, and I don't want to be any different. I like who I am. I chose to be the person I am, but what does need to change is my way of dealing with life's problems, my interests, my understandings and reactions.
This morning, I noticed the first big change in the way I look at life, what catches my attention . This revelation came through this beautiful song:"I believe I can fly".
Music has always been very important to me but I rarely understood the lyrics of English songs unless it just catches my attention and I search for them. The lyrics I used to look for are for songs like "killing me softly", "when I need you", "sorry seems to be the hardest word", etc. I was never tempted to search or even try to understand songs that are more positive, songs that would not make me cry. My mind would only focus on the music and ignore any positive energy the poet has put in his words.
This morning, "I believe I can fly" has made a big impact on me. Not only my mind focused on the lyrics, but I looked for them, meditated on them and loved them.
But now I know the meaning of true love....
If I can see it, then I can do it....
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me....
Those are the expressions I will focus on.
Nikky ... the proof of the pudding is in the eating, as we say in England ...
ReplyDeletemeaning, my friend, that YOU are dealing with life instead of panicking about it ...
You now reason things out and react with a higher part of yourself than just your human ego.
NIKKY is now in control of your reactions instead of those reactions controlling Nikki.
So, you HAVE changed, my friend, and I stand here on the sidelines cheering you on, dear.
Lovely post.
You are absolutely right Pat. You have initiated that change, and I wish you can be proud of the result :)
Deletewhat I meant by I didn't change is that Nikki has always been the same in the heart, but she wasn't in control, so yes, you are right AS USUAL <3 <3 <3
This is indeed a lovely post. my friend..You can fly...you will fly and right now..."you are fllying'...yes..what a wonderful post. love you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Kathy :)
DeleteNikky, this is so beautiful that it makes me want to cry good tears! You indeed have the ability to fly and by doing so you can gain a new perspective on ways of "dealing with life's problems, my interests, my understandings and reactions." Fly Nikky!
ReplyDeleteStan, if only I could fly for real and come and meet you and Jodi :(
Delete--Nikky,
ReplyDeleteWhat people probably mean is that you are "Coming Out of Your Shell." "You are telling your story" "You are liberated, even though you are still in the same situation w/ your husband."
You are NEVER alone.
Love Love Love. Xxx
Thank you so much Kim. You are right. I can start and tell my story now that I have friends who care to listen and who understand and won't judge me.
DeleteI am also changing (I hope) by trying to be more positive, and get out of that darkness I have kept myself in for very long. Thank you very much for commenting Kim. Much love <3
Beautiful post, Nikky, and triumphant. I think people often are taken aback when we change how we deal with them. But if they are true friends, they understand and embrace our strength. I never noticed how powerful the words to that song were before. Thank you!
ReplyDelete(I keep missing your posts. I thought I was subscribed but I didn't get an email. I will fix that!)
Thank you so much Lisa. In fact, my friends who say I have changed mean it in a very positive way, of course I know that, and it doesn't bother me at all. I like the progress I have made. What I meant by I didn't change was to specify that we make progress, but the essence is still there :)
DeleteI have no idea why you don't get email notifications, and I think you are not the only one as most of the subscribers are not reading my posts :(
I just scanned this last week in my haste! It is truly beautiful just like you! I believe you can fly, more than i believe other people. I see this awesome potential and inherent goodness. You write words that touch people since they can relate! Love you!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Jodi. That is a great compliment especially coming from you. I never thought my writings could be appreciated. I will fly. I want to fly very high and be free. The freedom I long to is not marriage or work or obligations. I want to be free of the limitations I have put to my mind and body.
DeleteNikky, I love this song, too, and you prompted me to look at the words more closely and think about them. You CAN fly, and you can be free of the limitations you put on your mind and body, as you say in your comment above.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tina. It's true I can fly and sometimes it is scary, as I really feel like I disconnect from my body, and go with my thoughts wherever I can find love and peace.
