I Embrace a Challenge - ukulele original
Any song I write is surely a tune for dancing, right?
Well, this one is about dancing with a challenge, with a new way of relating to the world, and I reckon you could slow-dance to it. In the lyrics I even refer to it as a ballad, a word which means "dancing song".
I got inspired yesterday. I joined
T. Harv Eker's
7-Day No-Complaining Challenge ... it's awesome ... and I decided
I will write and record a song for each day of the challenge. Here's
Day 1.
The day's declaration was "I embrace a challenge", and the day's focus was "No complaining, blaming or justifying all day today." Harv talks in the opening video about how "What you focus on expands", so if you're complaining, you're a "crap magnet". So I covered all that in the song.
In less than 20 minutes, the challenge's official Day 7 video will go live on Facebook. I joined yesterday, so I'm a few days behind. Harv's son Jesse Eker, who's running the challenge, did say it will stay up forever, and that anyone interested is encouraged to jump in any time. If you want to, it's free, and there's no opt-in required ... Facebook is also not required. Let me know if you do - I'd love the company! After only one day, I'm already finding it pretty life-changing.
I have no personal stake in it, other than as a very satisfied participant ... and now happy owner of a brand new song inspired by it!
