In life we all go through our ups and downs. I’m sure many have felt as if they had lost control, overwhelmed or depressed. Believe me the thinkGood. trio has not been spared from these emotions. For a moment I know I found myself looking around for a Prince Charming, Superman, Robin Hood, at times the whole Justice League. As I interacted with people while in my rut, I realized that no one was going to save me but me. No matter how great your team is, how supportive your family is, how much you may find comfort in loved ones, at the end of the day the only strength you need is your own.
In this live performance by India Arie she performs a live acoustic version of her song Beautiful Flower. Please take a minute to really listen to the lyrics of the song. As India says “You can heal the world with your mind…” In short, all you need to do is thinkGood.
This is a song for every girl who’s
Ever been through something she thought she couldn’t make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to
Now we’re moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
‘Cause you’re beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient
This is a song for every girl who
Feels like she is not special
‘Cause she don’t look like a supermodel Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you to shake your moneymaker
Shake your head and tell them, tell them you’re a leader
Now we’re moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
‘Cause you’re beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient
Do Good, Feel Good, Live Good
-Team thinkGood.
