Found myself thinking more about the musicals I grew up with and felt inspired to revisit some of my favorite lyrics (a few are excerpted below)…

From “South Pacific”
Happy talk keep talkin’ happy talk
Talk about things you’d like to do.
You gotta have a dream
if you don’t have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
👉 THE TAKE AWAY: Focus on the positive and dream your dream!

From “The King & I”
I whistle a happy tune
And ev’ry single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I’m not afraid.
Make believe you’re brave
And the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are.
👉 THE TAKE AWAY: Acting “as if” really can help!

From “The Sound of Music”
I have confidence in sunshine,
I have confidence in rain.
I have confidence that spring will come again!
Besides what you see I have confidence in me.
Strength doesn’t lie in numbers.
Strength doesn’t lie in wealth,
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers,
When you wake up, wake up!
It’s healthy!
All I trust I give my heart to,
All I trust becomes my own!
I have confidence in confidence alone!
Besides, which you see, I have confidence in me!
👉 THE TAKE AWAY: Believe in yourself and know the true source of your strength!

From “Camelot”
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot!
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
👉 THE TAKE AWAY: In retrospect I wonder if this song didn’t reawaken samskars or astral memories. I loved the idea of that special, perfect, magical spot, but now I’m thinking that the perfection is never just about the physical reality; it come from being surrounded by harmonious vibrations and people of high consciousness…also known as spiritual community!
