When you’re working through a challenge, do you ever hear a theme song playing in your head to keep you moving forward? 😜

I often find that I do. 🤣

There isn’t one specific theme song that helps me get through difficult times. The song randomly changes. 😁

The theme song that I’ve been hearing lately is “The Show Must Go On” by Queen.

Lyrics:

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance, on and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I’m learning
I must be warmer now
I’ll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I’m aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I’ll face it with a grin
I’m never giving in
On with the show
I’ll top the bill
I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
Show
Show must go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on

What do you think of the song?

I particularly love these lines:

Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on

Can you think of the last time that you put on a smile when inside you didn’t actually feel that way?

We are all human, and we all do it.

It’s too bad when we don’t feel comfortable enough with someone to let them know how we are really feeling.

It’s too bad when we hesitate to be authentic because we fear disappointing someone else.

I also love these lines:

I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show

This is a good reminder that no matter what is going on in life, we need to pick ourselves up and play our part in the world. Things can get really hard, but time keeps moving forward. You cannot let a challenge stop you from living the life you deserve.

Which lyrics do you most enjoy?

Can you share one of your theme songs?

Wishing you well! 💚
