Best Fake Smile

Is there a better way to get back into blogging than with an inspirational post using a new favourite tune!? 

British artists have my heart. They really do. James Bay is the latest to steal my affections. His song  "Hold Back The River" has been playing on the radio quite a bit lately and a dear friend of mine has been raving about him for some time now. And I am hooked on his voice and his lyrics. While the tune I just mentioned is quite infectious there is another one I want to draw your attention to. 

"Best Fake Smile" is the name of the song and being yourself is the name of the game. 

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile

Don't have to stand there and burn inside

Oh oh oh if you don't like it

Isn't that what so many of my posts are about? Creating the best version of yourself, and about being that person without hesitation? The answer is yes. That is what I am writing about. That is what I'm trying to inspire people to do. To simply be you in a world that wants you to be something else. 

Not only is this song so upbeat, uplifting, and catchy I love the message James is sharing; Don't pretend to be something you aren't for someone, or something, else. It's not fair to you or the people around you. If ever you feel stuck, remember that you can change your direction. Starting over is tough and risky, but it's a new direction to take you closer to what you want. Always work toward that goal you have your heart set on. Don't wear a fake smile and pretend to be something you are not. Embrace the differences that make you who you are and role with them. Don't hide them to fit in wherever you have found yourself stuck. It's exhausting not being yourself. Don't tire yourself out before you have a chance to live your life. As I've written before, be brave with your life.

Also, listen to music every day. A day without music is a very empty thing. And here I've given you two songs, so hop to it! Put on your best genuine smile and dance.
