Playlist Guaranteed to Boost Resiliency

Knocked down hard? How about some songs and inspiration to help you get back up. Here Goes. 

“You gain strength courage and confidence every time you look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” 

– Eleanor Roosevelt.

#1 – For when you are in the middle of the fight. This is my push ups song. Drop and crank out thirty. 

Going Out Fighting 

One time I was a quitter
One time I felt caged
One time I hit the pedal to the metal
One time I escaped

I survive, walk a thin line…
I’m going out fighting
Like lightning

     – Minutes Til Midnight

#2  – We all get knocked down. The greatest response? Stand back up. Always remember the Japanese proverb:  Nana korobi ya ok. Fall Seven. Rise Eight. 

Tumbathumping (I Get Knocked Down)

I get knocked down, 
But I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down

      – Chumbawamba

#3 – You can take it. You can make it.  I first gratefully listened to this hour of inspiration over ten years ago. I’ve never stopped. 

When You Are About to Give Up

If you can take it, you can make it. …

The only way you can get your parachute to open; you gotta jump…

You deserve to see what your life would look like if you gave 120%…

You gotta Run after your destiny. You gotta Run after your destiny. You gotta Run. Because success is never an accident; and if you don’t want it — Get outta my way — Because there are some people who wanna do something with their life who will Run…

#4 – Running down Peachtree Road and this comes through my air pods, I can’t help but pump my fists.  In the version I sing to myself, I change the words. Instead of putting my armor on, I put my ARM AROUND YOU. A real hero has strength for two. Together we’re unstoppable.

Unstoppable

From this mountain I can see so far
Rivers running like deep, deep scars
Carrying the Lifeblood through my veins
Is it crazy that I’m grateful for all the pain

Cause I’m a little bit hurt
But a lot more free
