"There is nothing wrong with loving who you are... so hold your head up girl and you'll go far"
I am so glad this song is and will be #1 in charts for a while.
There is a whole debate going on about Yogis asking Yoga Journal to get real, to accept and put in their pages women that are not all skinny. To include all of us.
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
I also love how the song is simple and short yet touches on people who have disabilities as well, and whom I imagine, sometimes, not always, (see this amazing case) may feel down about it. So what? is the song's attitude, there is something unique and beautiful about each and everyone of us.
I wrote about self love being the beginning of everything in the 32 unusual ways to love ourselves.
Increased self esteem is brilliant, is the door that can open us up to being what we really are, to forget naysayers and just do what we were born to do, to follow our passion, to express the precise and beautiful person we each are to the world. Hey! not just express but scream it out loud, I am even adding dance moves!
For this reason, I am glad that millions of people will have this resonating in their heads:
I'm beautiful in may way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI love the lyrics of this song too although I am not a great fan of Lady Gaga..it is accepting who we are and loving ourselves no matter what!
Namaste,
Karin
Yand W, yes, that is what I like about it too, and also that it is catchy, so it is easy to remember ! Thanks for your comment
ReplyDeleteI saw a one hour interview with Lady Gaga and she's surprisingly real + grounded. Power to her for speaking from the heart and spreading the words!

Hi YY I noticed the interview but had not watched it, now I did, thanks for the link. I absolutely love how she is inspiring, at least me, to just let the queen out, the inner spirit shine, the creativity flow, whatever words we want to put into that space, the message is key.
ReplyDeleteLast night I watched the video of the 10 year old from winnipeg who put a video on line of herself singing the song and was consequently invited to sing with Gaga in Toronto. It had me in tears. I aspire to trust my creativity as much as she does :-)
