Have you ever felt like you’re “different”? Have others make you feel like you’re a “freak”? Have you ever felt like you’re so unproductive everyday but you don’t know what to do or don’t want to do anything? Have you ever felt like you don’t know what to do with your life? Have others make you feel so worthless?

If you have ever felt like any of the above, you’re not alone. I’m pretty sure a lot of us have felt like a useless piece of crap by others.

Music is my life. If I feel down and out, angry or sad, I will turn to music. So, I thought I would share my playlist of motivational/inspirational songs. If you have a song that’s not on the list below and would like to share with me, feel free to recommend and share because sharing is caring.

1) “Aftermath” by Adam Lambert

Anytime anybody pulls you down

Anytime anybody says you’re not allowed

Just remember you are not alone

In the aftermath

2) “Bad Kids” by Lady Gaga

I am not a freak, I was born with my free gun

Don’t tell me I’m less than my freedom

3) “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga

I’m beautiful in my way

‘Cause God makes no mistakes

I’m on the right track, baby

I was born this way

Don’t hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you’re set

I’m on the right track, baby

I was born this way

4) “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly

I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I’ll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

5) “Defying Gravity” from Wicked

I’m through accepting limits

‘Cause someone says they’re so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I’ll never know

6) “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera

‘Cause it makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

7) “Perfect” by P!nk

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood

Miss, no way it’s all good, it didn’t slow me down

Mistaken, always second guessing

Underestimated, look, I’m still around

8) “Go The Distance” from Hercules

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cja4NvIR1UU

And I won’t look back, I can go the distance

And I’ll stay on track, no, I won’t accept defeat

It’s an uphill slope, but I won’t lose hope

Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

9) “I Don’t Wanna Be” by Gavin DeGraw

I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind

I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I’m supposed to be

I don’t wanna be anything other than me

10) “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” from Mulan

We must be swift as the coursing river

With all the force of a great typhoon

With all the strength of a raging fire

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

11) “Kick Ass” by Mika

We are young

We are strong

We’re not looking for where we belong

We’re not cool

We are free

And we’re running with blood on our knees

12) “Live Like We’re Dying” by Kris Allen

Yeah, we gotta start lookin’ at the hands of the time we’ve been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin’

If every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’

Gotta live like we’re dying

13) “Not Alone” by Darren Criss

I still have trouble

I trip and stumble

Trying to make sense of things sometimes

I look for reasons

But I don’t need ’em

All I need is to look in your eyes

And I realize

Baby, I’m not alone

14) “Nothing Else Matters” by Lucie Silvas (Cover)

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for games they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And I know

15) “People Like Us” by Kelly Clarkson

They can’t do nothing to you, they can’t do nothing to me

This is the life that we choose, this is the life that we bleed

So throw your fists in the air, come out, come out if you dare

Tonight we’re gonna change forever

16) “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk

So raise your glass if you are wrong

In all the right ways, all my underdogs

We will never be, never be anything but loud

And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks

Won’t you come on and come on and

Raise your glass

17) “Rocket” by The Wanted

I’m climbing, I’m rising

I’m striking like lightning

Write my name in sky

Writing for all to see

I’ll do something epic

And they won’t forget it

Good enough’s not good enough for me

18) “Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I’m made of glass

Like I’m made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

19) “Titanium” by David Guetta feat. Sia

You shout it out

But I can’t hear a word you say

I’m talking loud not saying much

I’m criticized but all your bullets ricochet

You shoot me down, but I get up

20) “You Gotta Be” by Des’ree

Listen as your day unfolds

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers, they may cause you tears

Go ahead release your fears

Stand up and be counted

Don’t be ashamed to cry

And that’s the end of my playlist of songs that will spur you on to do great things. I hope.
