Refrain Ooo-eeeee I’m lucky! Why is it easy today? Ooo-eeeee I’m lucky! Won’t you come out and play? Glad I have eyes, glad I have hands and a clean shirt and pants And feet that wanna dance Glad to be here, free of the fear Feeling light and crystal clear Ready to take a chance… Ready to take a... Refrain Life can be fast, as it flies past And love takes time to grow Sometimes, I’m at home alone And all of it’s good, let go of the “shoulds” And any impossibilities As your wings catch the breeze! As your wings catch the... Refrain Bridge: Why does it work out much better than you can possibly imagine? Refrain: © 2007 Mark Shepard Commentary: this song is full of the "why" questions that Noah St. John calls "afformations". The deal with your unconscious mind is this, whatever questions you ask youself have 10 times the power of the statements you tell yourself. It's like your unconscious mind is pre-programmed to filter information for you based on the questions you ask. So ask really good questions! Of course my favorite saying is "Why does it work out better than you can possibly imagine? (or WDIWOBTYCPI - pronounced Widdy-Wob-tissipi) This is the tool in my NLP arsenal I use the most on a day to day basis. There have been plenty of times when I literally chanted "Why does it work out better than I can possibly Imagine" for entire days... language has power people. So pay attention to what you say to yourself. Or, just play this song over and over again. It works! p.s. This song compliments a post I made at www.ModernJedi.com on January 12, 2009 called "Good Luck? Bad Luck?" p.p.s. "Lucky" is featured on the Rilee O'Neill CD "Letters to Daddy" Uncategorized mark@markshepard.com no no http://markshepardsongs.com/beautiful-person-sung-by-mark-shepard/ http://markshepardsongs.com/beautiful-person-sung-by-mark-shepard/#comments Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:05:30 +0000 Mark http://www.markshepardsongs.com/?p=393 [Continue Reading]]]> http://markshepardsongs.com/beautiful-person-sung-by-mark-shepard/feed/ 21 0:00:01 Original Version From Visions & Voices CD.

After watching please share your thoughts and comments below. Beautiful Person | January-March 1991 | Song #154 Refrain: I am a beautiful person I am a part of all that is I accept the abundance of creation And the infinite gifts it gives I can not love you if I hate myself I can not give to you if I am poor I can not heal the world if I have no health I can not bring you peace by bringing you war Refrain I am the lion that I saw in my dream I unleash the hidden power in me I am the universe just beyond my eyes That I am only beginning to see Refrain I am a joyful emotion Too huge to be contained in me I spark across the mountains and the oceans To the edges of the galaxy Refrain ©1991-2008 Mark Shepard Commentary: This is the original version of Beautiful Person from my Visions and Voices CD, arranged by Gene Moore. At the time I was just beginning to do the deep inner work that would eventually allow me to share my music with others. This song basically came out of a place that was deeper that the self hate I had wallowed in up to that point. On the morning after our historical 2008 presidential election electing Barack Obama I think it does us good to really get this message into our heads. Each and every one of us is a "Beautiful Person" and when we truly give ourselves to living on purpose and fulfilling our greatest hopes and dreams we bring hope and light to this world in crisis.
