Mindy's Movie Reviews

A blog that went from discussing about the writing life to reviews of movies

Inspiration for the day

Have you heard Born This Way by Lady Gaga yet? If not click here to hear the song and click here to read the lyrics.


Now love it or hate it, when I first heard this song and read the lyrics I had tears in my eyes. Why? Well it greatly inspired me. We live in a world where we are constantly comparing ourselves and I just love how this song (through my interpretation) basically says it's okay to be who you are because you were born and destined to be who you are.

Lately I have been having the winter blues that has affected my abilities to work on my writing. I have been having self doubts and I even reach the point where I did not want to write anymore. This song came right when I needed it to and has made me think "hey, I was born to be a writer I was born to shine" which has inspired me greatly (I have been writing non stop since this song came out)

It's funny in a way how one little song can inspire one being so much. So I wonder about all of you out there reading this. What/who inspires you?

Thank you so much for sharing those links! Even though I'm a fan of Gaga, I hadn't heard that song before. I love it! What a great message.

*hugs* Thanks for sharing this, Mindy. I'm there with you experiencing the self-doubt that halts the pen. It's good to remember that we are exactly as we're meant to be and it's ok to live into who we were born to be. :-)

P.S. The Climb by Miley Cyrus inspires me whenever I'm afraid of facing the future.

The lyrics are sooo inspiring. It always brings a tear to my eyes and makes me want to push that much harder to climb my own mountains. :-)
