Defying Gravity – The Affirmation Spot for Tuesday October 16, 2007

hanggliding.jpgGreetings and a pleasant Tuesday to each of you! I was listening to my mp3 player at work today and had it set to one of my favorite pick-me-up genres – musicals. There have been some incredible songs written for American theatre over the years and I really enjoy listening to the old Rodgers and Hammerstein right through the most current shows.

Today the song Defying Gravity from the show “Wicked” was playing. I have always liked the song, but had never thoroughly listened to the words until today.

They are powerful words for anyone in the process of charting a new course in life. Whether you are starting a new business, pursuing an artistic career against the odds, or just want to break free of some old thinking; these words definitely inspire.

Here is an excerpt of the lyrics.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down!

I’m through accepting limits
‘Cuz someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down.

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
“Ev’ryone deserves the chance to fly!”
And if I’m flying solo
At least I’m flying free
To those who’d ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I’m flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I’ll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!


Have a peaceful and prosperous Tuesday and don’t be afraid to defy gravity today! Ray

My latest books are the Anunnaki Awakening: Revelation (Book 1 of a trilogy) and The Power to Be You: 417 Daily Thoughts and Affirmations for Empowerment. I have written prolifically on the topics of personal development and human potential for many years. By day, I write sales training for Fortune 100 company. I began studying affirmations and positive thinking after a life-threatening illness at 25. My thirst for self-improvement led him to read the writings of Joseph Campbell, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, and many other luminaries in the fields of mythology and motivation. Over time, I have melded these ideas into my own philosophy on self-development. I have written, recorded, and used affirmations and other tools throughout that time to improve my own life and I have a passion for helping other reach for their goals and dreams.
