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.
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.
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
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
This Song set's me free from all the pain I have endure during my life time. 41 and loving all of me....God's love will always shower over my life..... 💝💝💝

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
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.
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 ✌🏾✌🏾❤️✊🏾🦋🦋🦋🦋
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.
I heard her singing this song in a concert in Philadelphia. I was on a trip with my parents and my ex broke up with me at that time. I took them to the concert and I heard this song... Love yourself, when no one else can
I cannot begin to express how much strength this song gives me right now. I am grateful for the blessing that is Ms Lalah Hathaway, a phenomenal woman with a phenomenal voice.
I love the verse " Stop hiding yourself, love yourself, when no one else can " . So much inspiration behind Lalah Hathaway's words. I can listen to this song all day. Sing that song!
I seen her live in concert and she sung this song. I got goosebumps and felt the presence of GOD speaking directly to me. This is a healing prayer song.🙌💃
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.
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!🙏🙏🙏
Just got to see her live in Cincinnati, OH the vocals are unmatched she sounds impeccable. 😍 She doesn't depend on any systems to enhance her voice. Such a delightful talent and she's funny and bossy!
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.🙌🏾🥰💯
Love yourself like no one else can...smh...this song speaks volumes. She sung it live in my home town and her voice commanded the entire building. Keep doing you Lalah.
Thank you GOD for this anointed singer and songwriter!!! Thanks Amara, my beautiful and extremely smart niece for introducing me to this songstress. I haven't fallen in love with the music of a secular female artist since Anita Baker. About to order the CD and everything else she sings.
Just come out of relationship of 5 yeats, and I was driving home from work one night a this song right here! Spoke volume to my ❤... Where I felt unloved, didn't love me 1st! I am my best friend, I no longer behind someone who's love wasn't real, this song is so powerful
This song gives me a Sunday afternoon vibe: sunny, full of warmth, reminiscing about the past, looking forward to the future and simply embrace what is, what is here and the now. Thank you Miss Lalah.
this song means so much to me when I first lost my mom over a month ago I felt so lost but this song just popped up on my phone and when I listened to it I took it as a message from my mother and when I feel down and has no one to turn to I listen to this song it's as if it my mom talking to me .....
Beautiful song. This song is sooooooo me.. I Hide myself alllll the time. I literally cried when listening to this song. It's the first time I have heard it today. I am going to see her in concert. She's coming to TN with Anthony Hamilton & Eric Benet. Can't wait. My new inspirational song. Thanks Lalah..
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!
Dr. Hathaway indeed. A prophetic presence. I proclaim healing to the hearers and see the City of Baltimore in my spirits eye. Make the mirror your best friend. Stated like no one else can❤
I love Lalah Hathaway and this song is just another amazing example of her beauty and talent. Her vocals are crazy! Love you Lalah! Thanks for sharing your gift.
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.
Oh my goodness I love this woman. Did anyone else notice the harmony break down @ 1:18 amazing. I mean this whole song is amazing but the break down harmony I kept playing over and over . Excuse me I have to go back to it LOVE YOU LALAH LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU my favorite singer of any artist
