RESILIENT SOUNDTRACK

India Arie shows what it means to live an authentic, vulnerable life.

Chasing that and topping that is not me. It’s about being more me in both my life and career.”

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today

Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gon' do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [Repeat: x3]
It's a Beautiful Day [Repeat: x3]

Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take…
