Reflection #6

I was privileged to talk to my best friend’s mom, the Susan Simms, about what song she really connects with. During this chat I not only listened a new song, but learned a lot about her and her new business. The song she chose was I’m Winning by Santana. It’s a very inspirational song about picking yourself up when life get’s you down.

She told me that she likes to listen to this song when she is going through a particularly hard time in her life and it reminds her that she will get through it. She said that when she listens to the song she always has a better outlook on her life. She just started a new business about meditation and stress management for children and teenagers and informed me that at her next session she was going to share this song with all the young people. I think that the song will have a good impact on them because it had a good impact on me and I only just heard the song.

She is really excited about her new business and I think that this song reflects the journey it took getting there. She was working on it for a long time and I know that at times it was stressful and sometimes it could’ve been easier to give up. But she kept going with it and now that the business is successful and she’s doing what she loves, she’s “winning”. This is a good lesson to learn because following after what you want and dream of won’t always be easy but the outcome is always worth it.

I would recommend this song to anyone because it’s really a upbeat tune with a good message. It’s a good song to listen to early in the day to put you in a good mood.

    Thanks Kayla! Well it’s hard to go wrong with anything that Carlos Santana touches! It is a very good inspirational song good thing it was written before Charlie Sheen was able to trademark “winning”!
