“If you think you are a champion, don’t talk about it, just prove it…”
Definitely had to share this track from musical artist DEVMO. Her work has been heard on multiple shows like “The Kardashians,” “Jersey Shore,” “All-American” (which I think is where I may have first heard this track!), and “Perfect Match” on Netflix. This song “Never Back Down” is one of my favorite songs right now!
“Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand. But I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand…”
This is a personal Inspirational Jam for me today, but I hope it encourages someone. Kelly Price‘s version of the gospel track, “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow” has soothed my soul from the time I was a pre-teen in the 2000s up to this very day. Especially in moments when I feel so unsure of what was ahead for me in life.
“I’ve let some people down, didn’t fight back…made some choices that were good and some I want back. Went through s**t only to end up runnin’ right back…I got issues, but we all got issues like that…”
I love this new album Stages from singer Jade Novah but especially the title track! So much so, that I made it an Inspirational Jam in hopes to encourage someone. It’s definitely encouraging to me.
“Healin’ and patience are lovers…don’t place the blame on your heart just to shut ’em up. There ain’t a rush to recover…”
This Inspirational Jam by Alessia Cara is dedicated to those who may be battling grief, hurt, depression, anxiety, etc., and are being told to simply pick themselves up and keep moving. I know for myself
“Easier Said” is a song about recovery. Instead of always seeking to be happy and ignore the bad, Alessia sings about the fact that basking in your sadness is necessary. And it is. It’s okay not to be okay.
I know all too well the importance of sitting in your feelings and going through grief and hurt. It is in moments of sadness where you are able to look at your circumstances dead in the face and better come to terms with whatever is going on. Acting like everything is okay all the time will ultimately have you in a breakdown mode when stuff finally hits you. No matter what anyone tells you, you simply can’t be strong all the time. It’s okay to break down, to vent to trusted people, and to sit in your sadness.
Prayer and positive thoughts to anyone battling depression, anxiety, and other mental issues. If you need to talk to someone, please consider reaching out to a hotline for additional help.
“From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, give it everything you’ve got…now’s the time!”
I heard this song on an episode of Heartland, and it’s a serious mood! Canadian singer Jess Moskaluke‘s “Go Big Or Go Home” is a great Inspirational Jam to give you a nudge to stop playing around with your goals and get to work!
We all have big dreams, but do we have big efforts? Are our actions matching the levels where we want to be or the goals we want? Or are we not taking it all seriously? If you’re going to do something, you need to give it your all. Otherwise, just leave it be. That’s what this song is all about.
