Your Definitive Anthem – ‘My Way’

This year, 410 years ago, Galileo was ordered by the Catholic Church to abandon his belief that the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun.
The world and the people around him, forced him to not follow his way of thinking.
What would have happened if he listened to them?

Galileo was decades if not centuries ahead of his time.
You might be in the same boat as him.
The circumstances are different and your own beliefs are unique but the struggle to honor yourself is still real.
Today, centuries after, it is easier to stick to what you believe.
The world is more weird and wonderful in a lot of respects thus allowing you to follow those instincts to create the confident self you so desperately deserve.
It is definitely not easy, if it was it wouldn’t be worth the effort, would it?

Clarify what it is for you to follow your own way.
Get all the help you need to make the journey not just easier but foolproof.

Personally, Frank Sinatra’s performance 1974 performance of “My Way”, in New York’s Madison Square Garden, inspires always.
Beautifully said he starts by introducing the song as the ‘National Anthem’.

“And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say – not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way“

What comes up for you when you hear this song?
For me – it reminds me to chart my own path.
To be true to myself.
To do things that honor my unique being.
To be brave and bold and follow my adventurous heart.
To live with no regrets.
To be ME!

Who are YOU really?

Put all the challenge aside today – listen to the song and follow the words. Be inspired.
Now ask yourself: “What do I need to do this year to feel that I am doing it MY WAY?”
Then go for it.

Break your mold and Do it your way!

Have a listen.
