About This Quote
Be what you are and sing a song of beauty and love" means to be content with what we have and to be happy with our own lot in life. It is about celebrating our uniqueness and loving ourselves for who we are. In order to be successful, we must first accept ourselves for who we are. If we don’t love ourselves, then how can we expect others to love us? The journey from self-loathing to self-love is a long one.
It starts with the recognition that we are all human beings, all worthy of love. There is also a moving story of a young man, a young woman, a baby and a child's mother written by Maya Angelou in her novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She wrote about people who were mistreated and misunderstood by others throughout their lives because they did not fit into the standards of society.
They were considered “ugly” or “bad” people by other people because of their skin color or accent or hairstyle. These individuals were able to overcome their struggles through their love for themselves, despite being treated poorly by others throughout their lives. They did so by singing a song of beauty and love.
