This song literally picked me up when I was in the pits.😍 I learned to love myself unconditionally, forgive myself for letting myself down, taught me how to show up for myself.

[@RandomthoughtswithKay]

Beautiful! I hope you are living an amazing life!😘

[@TypicallyUNIque13]

Agreed!!

[@mizz9841]

You may never see this but can you please share some of those steps if you can... I also have let myself down in addition to others and now I am most certainly in the pits... Thanks Beloved This song is AMAZING

[@RandomthoughtswithKay]

I'm back beautiful souls! I decree whomever reads this,finds the love,bliss and happiness here for us all!🫂🫂 I love you all!

[@nanettehaywood2085]

God bless us with this beautiful moment ❤❤❤

[@walkitouthealthandwellness]

OMG... This is now our official theme song! Nearly 40 million of us have been taught from birth that we are NOT valuable, NOT attractive, NOT worthy of love, NOT this, NOT that, just NOT. "Use your past to get ahead... Hold your tears and think instead... You HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT..." ...thank you, God for this phenomenal sister (Lalah Hathway) and this phenomenal song.

[@obedirect5491]

Incredible song! It's now my anthem for my gdaughters.

[@CARMELL1212]

So true❤

[@chocolate001able]

This is a beautiful song. Now my eyes are sweating😭😭😭😭😭😭I'm not hiding myself anymore. All praise to The Most High!!!

[@GiaShay]

This song saved me. I was in a terrible relationship the first time I heard this song. The mental abuse had me tired. Had my self esteem non existent. I was simply headed to the mall and this song came on and I had to pull over and I cried and cried and cried. By the time I left that mall parking lot my mind was made up that I choose ME. Thank you Lalah. This was 4 years ago

[@tahiramartinezGodislove]

Amen God bless you it helped too❤😊

[@yvetteoconnor8479]

Wow, I needed to hear this song. Beautiful!!

[@karenmay9396]

So so so UNDERRATED It is so refreshing to actually hear a song that encourages us, lifts us up, reminds us to love who we really are. Positive message. Unless it's gospel music its hard to find real music these days that just seems so pure, simple yet powerful. This woman is truly gifted.

[@anonymousl591]

Karen May I so totally agree with you

[@brendaeaston1397]

Turned 66 yrs old yesterday and this song spoke Volumes to my heart ♥️, to my soul and my LIFE!!! Thank you Lalah Hathaway, you’ve Touched where So Many Couldn’t ✌🏾✌🏾❤️✊🏾🦋🦋🦋🦋

She didn't write the song. Gourdan Banks

[@rudygoofysrh]

I validate myself 100 percent from within. It’s ok to be me, authentically. I won’t code switch or hide my full potential ever again. I am living for a purpose at all times. I play to win in all things everyday.

[@jmills4084]

I thought no one could sing better than her Dad....He had the Gospel flair that catapulted his vocals to the top of the R & B chart in my eyes. This woman..... has added a classical jazzy element to his already phenomenal vocals and now I am up in the (the two) the 2nd Heaven just enjoying every note! Beautiful Job Lalah! I'm sure your Father would be pleased.

[@ashleygolden7913]

Bitter hearts don't hold a smile Troubled minds will wear you down Use your past to get ahead Hold your tears and think instead You have to find a way to make it These clouds are letting up for awhile Sometimes you gotta make the mirror your best friend Maybe then, you'll find some peace within Stop hiding yourself, stop hiding yourself Love yourself When no one else can Now you know the remedy Tell yourself you will achieve Just go on and brush your shoulders off This bridge is one that you must cross You have to find a way to make it These clouds are letting up for awhile Sometimes you gotta make the mirror your best friend Maybe then, you'll find some peace within Stop hiding yourself, stop hiding yourself Love yourself When no one else can If you love yourself, you don't need nobody else (Don't need nobody else) No one can love you like you If you look inside, (look inside) You'll find where your strength resides No one can love you like you Sometimes you gotta make the mirror your best friend And maybe then, you'll find some peace within Stop hiding yourself, stop hiding yourself Love yourself When no one else can Stop hiding yourself, stop hiding yourself Love yourself When no one else can Stop hiding yourself, stop hiding yourself Love yourself When no one else can

Recently saw Lalah, Anthony Hamilton and Eric Benet. AWESOME!!!!!!

[@aclassicredrose]

I just shared this song with one of my granddaughters who hit a rough patch a few months back. I had to release the issues so God would move in! As a parent and grandparent, we have to learn how to move out of God's way! Amen! Thank you for this beautiful song!🙏🙏🙏

[@JStew75]

I am so thankful to God, Lalah, and Gourdon Banks (songwriter) for being able to share this timely, incredible message with one of my former students who needed a reminder of how important he is to God, himself, and the world.🙌🏾🥰💯

[@bnatural0415]

If we could only live by these words. Life could be so much better for some of us. What a beautiful and powerful song! Lalah is that deal!!

[@esiobeng8237]

Im still growing as a person. For so long, i havent been loving myself. I have always been trying to find validity elsewhere. But then i realized people come and go. What if the person i depended leaves me? How would I cope? I need to make self the base. The foundation of my life before anyone else. This is whybi love this song because it speaks to me. Lalah is very talented!

[@rosiestewart74]

I am so in love with this song!!

[@Robertoni7]

I need for Lalah Hathaway to stop running through my mind and singing my thoughts. Musical therapy! Loved her since heaven knows...see what I did there? haha!

[@BeautelligentDiva79]

Man, I swear that this song heals my spirit every time I listen to it. This morning, I was trying hard to hold back tears at work because some internal issues that I'd been suppressing for awhile now. Now I know why those tears needed to be released. My soul obviously needed emotional cleansing but also when you acknowledge YOU for exactly who you are, that's real love. Layla, thank you for this music lifeline.

[@JaeWhite140]

This is the Lalah that I love not the one trying to do more of the mainstream type of music and trying to work with people like Timbaland, Pharrell and Missy. There are lots of great underground producers like Zo! around that will put them to shame.

[@pa9436]

This song moves my soul so much Thank you to my babe who gave me this song today love you babe.my 1st time hearing This today.

[@taiwanjammeh5800]

This is my absolute favorite song by my absolute favorite music artist. Lalah is phenomenal and seeing her in concert recently was a dream come true. She delivered and her voice was as smooth or even smoother than it sounds on her albums. I love Lalah so much that I named by daughter Laila 5 years ago! Keep being amazing.

[@lindaross3966]

[@TheValerieMillerShow]

God is grace and I thank HIM for this gem, I love Lalah and her gift of voice that heals hearts, free souls and soar spirits. #MirrorMoments chapter in my book "How I Became Fabulous: And a Lady All The Time!" My tribute to her for the power in this song along with That was Then that inspired me to write my book in a direction displaying and freeing my vulnerabilities in love, hurts, pains, griefs and more we all face in life. Accepting our battered armor is the avenue to healing by loving ourselves that much as no one else can. Mere fact. I am grateful for this lady and her medicine of melodies that heals our hearts. Smooches, Valerie
