When You Believe (That Whitney Houston Was a Life Coach)
Let's talk about the greatest motivational speaker of all time. No, not Tony Robbins. Not Oprah. Not even that overly enthusiastic guy on Instagram who flexes while talking about "mindsets". It's Whitney Houston, y'all.
Moving Mountains and Kitchen Counters
I know, I know. It sounds crazy. But hear me out. Have you really listened to "When You Believe"? It's not just a song, it's a life manual. Let's break it down.
"Many nights we prayed with no proof, anyone could hear." - This is classic Whitney, setting the scene for the underdog. It's like she's saying, "Hey, life's tough, and sometimes you'll feel like you're talking to a brick wall. But keep praying, keep hoping, keep believing."
"Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear." - Fear is a b*tch, right? But Whitney's like, "Girl, face your fears! You got this." It's basically the mantra of every brave soul who's ever stepped outside their comfort zone.
"We were moving mountains long before we knew we could." - This is my favorite part. It's like she's saying, "You've already accomplished more than you realize. You're a freaking mountain mover!" And who doesn't want to feel like a badass mountain mover?
Miracles and Microwave Dinners
Okay, so maybe Whitney wasn't talking about actually moving mountains (unless you have super powers, in which case, please share your secrets). But the message is clear: Believe in yourself, and amazing things can happen. It's like that time I believed I could make a decent microwave dinner taste good. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. But hey, at least I believed, right?
So, How Can We Apply This to Our Lives?
- How to believe in yourself when you're feeling down? - Put on "When You Believe" and sing along. Loudly. Even if you sound like a dying cat.
- How to move mountains (or at least your couch)? - Start small. Maybe move a pencil. Then a book. Before you know it, you'll be rearranging the entire living room.
- How to find miracles in everyday life? - Look for the little things. A perfect cup of coffee, a surprise compliment, or even a sunny day can be considered a miracle.
- How to deal with fear? - Face it head-on. Or at least pretend to be brave until the fear goes away.
- How to convince your friends you're a life coach? - Quote Whitney Houston lyrics to them. A lot.
So there you have it. Whitney Houston, the unsung hero of self-help. Who knew that a power ballad could pack such a motivational punch?
