"I break tradition, Sometimes my tries, Are outside the lines, We've been conditioned, To not make mistakes, But I Can't live that way"
The first time I heard Natasha Bedingfield perform "Unwritten" I knew that it was going to become one of my theme songs. There are a number of great thoughts throughout the lyrics of this song. Keep reading to get more.
Yesterday is Yesterday - Enjoy Today!
So often we get caught up in the past and do not appreciate the present or future the way we should. Bedingfield encourages us to "Release your inhabitations." What is holding you from your greatness? The past is the past. Do your best to not let it define you. Your future is "unwritten" and you are the author. You have the power to change your situation.
Don't be Afraid to Fail!
Have you been conditioned to not make mistakes? So often we choose to not try something, because we are afraid to make mistakes. I see it all of the time when working with clients. Clutter will accumulate, because it is easier to let it accumulate than to risk making the wrong choice. Or, someone that says "yes" to everything, because he/she does not want to dissapoint someone with a "no."
However, the successful know, that you have to make mistakes. You have to fail in order to succeed! Why, some of my best learning has come from my failures. Trying new things and taking chances is what allows you to find the things that really work!

For Your Fun -- The Lyrics
"Unwritten"
I am unwritten
Can't read my Mind
I'm undefined
I'm just the beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhabitations
Chorus
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else no one else can
Speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest, is still unwritten
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I Can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhabitations
Chorus x2
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhabitations
Chorus x2
