GIRL
I love the message buried in the lyrics of this Maren Morris song...
"Drawing your comparisons,
trying to find who is lesser than.
I don't want to wear your crown,
there's enough to go around."
My favorite lines in the whole thing.
Everything about the song is encouraging and empowering, but something about that hits me.
I think too often we are constantly comparing and criticizing ourselves and others so we miss the big picture.
We are trying to hustle and make sure we stay ahead in our business, our marriage, our kids like there is not enough room for everyone to succeed.
Surprise, its a big big world, and we all have a place. We each have our own gifts and we can dominate in our own arena.
Will we all succeed in everything we attempt? No, but girl pick your head up, and let's move on. We learn more from failure than success and painful moments are just stepping stones.
We gotta do better at cheering each other on, feeling comfortable in our skin, going through life at our own pace.
Do you struggle with comparison and constantly feeling like you are never enough? I'd love to encourage you. Email me contact@caseykearney.com.

GIRL
Maren Morris Sarah Aarons Greg Kurstin
Man, this is unflatterin', all up in my head again
I don't feel myself right now, maybe I should just lay down
If vanity's my vitamin, well, I don't feel the difference
I don't like myself right now, gotta find a way out
What you feel is natural
But I don't wanna feel this anymore
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor
What you waitin' for?
Girl, won't you stop your cryin'?
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl
Draw your comparisons, tryin' to find who's lesser than
I don't wanna wear your crown, there's enough to go around
What you feel is natural (Natural)
You don't gotta put up with this anymore (Anymore)
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor (Oh)
Tell me what you waitin' for?
Girl, won't you stop your cryin'?
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl
Girl, don't hang your head low
Don't lose your halo, don't lose your halo
Girl, don't hang your head low
Don't lose your halo, oh
Girl, don't you stop your cryin'
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl, won't you stop your cryin'? (Won't you stop your cryin'?)
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay (Everything's gonna be okay)
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay (Everyone's gonna be okay)
Baby girl
