You Raise Me Up

Weekly Topic: My motivation booster

Camillus

This song really speaks to me when I’m down in the dumps. This is because the first two lines capture the intensity of the hopelessness and helplessness one feels:

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be

If the song just dwells on the negativity, then this song will sink me further into the depths of despair. But what this song does is it boosts my spirit, morale and motivation as reflected in the chorus:

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be


As I start my morning today, it’s not Monday blues to me but Monday cheers. What about you? What is the thing that boosts your motivation when you just don’t feel like doing anything? Book Quick Chat in English or English Conversation Class if you have more to share with me. Looking forward to chatting with you.
