My daughter has recently been singing Rachel Platten’s song, Fight Song, repetitively over the last few weeks. It sounds like a classmate of hers really likes the song and got her hooked on it, too. I know, it is a few years old, but I still the lyrics inspiring and timeless. I also find it endearing she likes this powerful song, and hearing her sing it made me ponder over the lyrics more and more today. (And, of course, she is adorable with her passionate singing style, which makes it a very enjoyable experience to listen to her.)
Rachel Platten wrote the song as an anthem to keep pushing back, as the song industry was rejecting her. I love its strong message. The message I take from the song is this: you matter, and your actions matter, no matter how little you think you are as one person, or how trivial you think your single action is. Don’t short change yourself, don’t underestimate your power, even if you feel you are small or insignificant. Say what is on your mind, especially if it will help others. If you feel down and out, fight back, because you matter. You are strong. Keep going, because you can keep on fighting and keep going, even in moments that are tough. You are more significant and powerful than you think, and your voice has power. My thought is, you never know when one action will inspire someone else, or help someone else in their time of need. Your smile or kind word to another person today may turn their day around. It may inspire them to be kind to someone else, which in turn may help someone at the end of their rope.
So never stop being nice to others. Never stop pushing forward and fighting the good fight in this life. Push back against challenges and setbacks, because you can persevere. Never discount your actions, no matter how insignificant you think they are. You can be that one spark to create change for good. I hope you find this post inspiring and take this positivity forward throughout your day and week. I have included her video link below for your viewing enjoyment.
