Who is the King of Your Life?
I hope you it’s YOU!
Happy Music Monday! Today’s Inspiring Song is ‘King of Anything’ by Sara Bareilles.
Unfortunately, running our own life one of the most difficult things that women deal with, especially moms. Who really runs your life? Who is the person that dictates what you do, how you feel and who you are?
Of course we all want to say, “Me! I run my life!” However, more often than not we are one of the last people to run our life. We let our family run our life, our kids or our friends run. Even worse….sometimes we let the judgments and ideals of society run our life.
For some reason we are too afraid to step up to the plate and really grab onto life’s reigns. Maybe we are afraid of making a wrong decision and messing up. Maybe we fear ridicule and hearing the dreaded words, “I told you so”.
I have some Serious Advice for You: If you are not messing up or pissing someone off, then you are not living your life.
There is no way that you can be right about everything or always make the best decision, but you have to make your own decision and learn from your own mistakes. There is also no way that everyone will agree with what you do and the decisions that you make, but it’s your life and you have to do what is best for you and your situation.
If you’re doing something because someone wants to you do it or will judge you if you don’t do it a certain way, then you are living your life for someone else.
Ditch anyone who doesn’t support you in living a life that you are the King Of! Women are the worst when it comes to keeping people in their life who are toxic because they would ‘feel bad’ if someone else got their feelings hurt. But guess who gets hurt the most? YOU! You get hurt from these people who are really treating you like crap. Either let them know it’s not ok, or send them packing. They’re holding you back from living your best life!
Some people walk around every day feeling like they’ll never be good enough. Like they’ll never meet the right standards or have the right abilities. Are you one of those people? Well, guess what….you never will be good enough! You’ll never be good enough because you are trying to live up to someone else’s standards. You are allowing someone else to be the ‘king’ of your life.
However, you WILL be good enough once you kick other people off the throne of your life and sit yourself down. You have to sit yourself down on your throne, wiggle your butt into a comfortable position and lean back, because you’re going to be there for quite awhile. And don’t forget your crown!(That’s the funnest part!
)
Anytime you are questioning your abilities or your own judgment I want you to think about who you are putting on the throne of your life with those negative thoughts? Who are you letting creep in and tell you that you’re not good enough. Once you can picture them, repeat this line of the song to yourself, “Who Cares if You Disagree? You are Not Me, Who Made You King of Anything?”
What you have to think to yourself every time you are letting someone else take over your throne is, “Who Cares?”. Who cares because the only one that has to live your life is you! So you get to make the decisions.
Enjoy the song and let yourself be inspired. Thank You Sara for singing songs that inspire us to live our best lives!
Now Get Out There and De-Throne the Impostors! Grab Your Crown and Take a Seat!
Lots of Love and ‘Kingly’ Blessings,

This is an inspiring post!
The bottom line: do not let someone else’s perceptions define you.
Bravo!
Thanks to Our Mom Spot & Judy for directing me to this blog post! This was something I really needed to read.
Sometimes I feel anywhere from annoyed to discouraged by other people’s perceptions of me. I can think of a situation @ the office which two men (co-workers) had seemingly decided that I wasn’t as capable as they are. Boy – did that annoy me especially since their performace has been lackluster…until it ocurred to me that it really doesn’t matter what they think of me. I can just keep being myself – professional and efficicient. Other people higher up have already taken notice of me.
Good blog Danielle!
