One of my favorite things to do is listen to music, particularly while cooking or driving. This helps with inspiration and to spark creativity.

I heard the song “Be Yourself” again recently and it brought up the importance of to not compare yourself to others.  We are each unique.  And don’t judge others for being different.

You never know what life has in store for you. There are drastic differences in the experiences we all have, but all you can do is play the hand you were given and be the best you can be.

“Be Yourself” Lyrics by AudioSlave (sang by Chris Cornell)

Link to listen – Be Yourself 

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away

Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays

Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you’ve paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
