Higher than This

At current, I am listening to Ledisi's latest and am feeling very priviledged to be able to understand what spirit is being conveyed. I recently had contact with a few BLASTS FROM THE PAST, and what I realized is that I have grown so much, leaps and bounds that I am almost brand new to these folks. What a miracle it has to be, to be growing?! As per usual, the same things that have been topic in these person's lives are still current, no changes, while I am GOING THROUGH CHANGES. (Cue music)

The lesson that I have learned most is to accept yourself for who you are, if you are simple, be simple. Don't change who you are to suit the environment, find where you fit in. Not saying that the behavior should be the same, we all should try to evolve how we react to our circumstance, but moreover let's try to be the same person that we were when we are most happy. For me, I am elated when I am able to laugh loudly, whether at myself, comedy or circumstance. So I put myself in places where it is appropriate to be gregarious. I take so many things seriously, it's just great to smile. Learn to let go of things, and learn to grow from ALL experiences.

Although I am not the P.G. that I was (party girl), I still like to get down every now and then, and for me that is enough. As Ledisi sings about, in Higher Than This, there is no love higher than the love that you have with your faith and yourself. It helps you to lift yourself to a world of love and acceptance, a place that is completely untouchable from the outside, where you feel safe and LOVED. I wish that we all find this place. Praises to God for giving me this gift. Because as Ledisi says, no one can love me like you do...Myself included.
