Music is true therapy to my Soul. If you know know me well you know I'm a BIG John Mayer Fan. A lot of his songs have given me the motivation to move forward and let go of certain things in my Life.
"Say what you need to Say" is one of my very FAVORITES.
So here are the Lyrics to help understand:
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations
Say what you need to say
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only ...
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
The Reason I LOVE this song so much and why it means a lot to me is... I feel sometimes we hold back on what we say because we are afraid of what the other persons reaction will be and how that will effect our relationship with them.
A wonderful friend explained and taught me that their reaction is not our responsibility. You have no CONTROL over their reaction. What you have Control over is how the message is delivered. That is not to say that when you say something to someone you don't think about the best way to to say what you need to say is. It's just that we all need to be compassionate and truthful in all things even when it hurts.
We only have so much time on this earth and I believe we all have a responsibility to speak the TRUTH. Also,why leave things unsaid especially to family. I have experienced pain that I never thought I'd have to experience. Therefore going forward in my LIFE..... I want to SAY too Much vs. Not Enough.
I have learned that you really have to say what you need to say. I have been given many opportunities to speak into others lives and I hope and Pray that the words are not just from me. l feel deeply in my heart that saying too much especially when it comes to your loved ones and the moments you share with them it is never enough. I know I have Said what I needed to Say to My Loved ones.... BUT I know I have more to Say and when the opportunity is Right more will be said.
I always try to tell those that are most important in my life how much they mean to me and How blessed I am to have them in my Life.
