#MotivationMonday - Music Edition 2

Welcome to another edition of motivation Monday, the day I try to let my positivity fly high and get myself (and others) set up for a great week.

Last time I tried something new a took page out of @cmplxty 's 'Music Monday' post: https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@cmplxty/music-monday-r3062j

And changed it up a bit and went for 'motivating music' .
Check it out my previous post here if you missed it:

And guess what, I kind of liked it. Sometimes a song can motivate much more than written words so I'm going to bring this concept back a couple of times.

So without further ado, here's another edition of Motivational Music Monday 😁😁😁.

Three songs coming up!

1. Aretha Franklin - Respect
   Released 1967

I'm pretty young but some of the older songs have made their way into my Playlist. And rightfully so.
Even if the lyrics don't exactly fit me word for word, this song always, and I mean always has a positive effect on me.
I end up singing and dancing like no one is watching 😂.
I feel like it's such an empowering song!

1. Bobby McFerrin - Don't worry be Happy
   Released 1988

Ahhh my ULTIMATE cheer up song.
My mom once told me that she used to dance to this song (with me in her arms as a baby/kid) whenever she was feeling sad/down. And that it used to cheer both of us up.
I guess that's how I got to know this song in the first place. And partly because of that story (and the significance of it) and partly because of the song itself, it now has the same role for me 😀.

1. Barrington Levy - Be Strong
   Released 1993

Even though this is a love song.. At least some relationship drama stuff..
Nevermind all that!
When I was young I just heard the Be Strong part 😂😂😂.
And that's what resonated with me. I mean I had no idea about any lover's trouble at that point. I was innocent 😇.
So the Be Strong was all I needed to get motivated.
I know I know, this one isn't the most obvious but I can't help how motivation works 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤣🤣🤣.

That’s it for me today. I hope you liked the songs and hey maybe you want to share a motivational one from your collection???
(I copy pasted this part but maybe I'll get a response this time 👀👀👀🤣)
Feel free to hit me up in the comments...

Cheers,
