Greatest Love Of All

If I fail if I succeed as least i'll live as I believed I love that line in the song as it makes me believe that i really don't need to follow in anyone's footsteps to succeed, but to follow my own heart. One of the most inspirational songs ever. Thank you Whitney for moving us with this song. I love it.

Great great great song.. whitney is a legend

This song could be interpreted by some as a person who can't find love and so, sadly, chooses to turn to just themselves. On the contrary, this song is all about loving yourself because that's the most important thing to do.

Very insightful lyrics written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed. To quote from THE WOMEN'S CLINIC HOME PAGE [rickmd.com/] 'This is a very popular song. If you want to get an idea of how hard it is for people to love themselves, pose this question, "You know the song "Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston. What does she say is the greatest love of all?" Many know the song well, but can't give the correct answer, because they are too uncomfortable to have heard the real message.'

the chorus is wrong: I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; If I fail, if I succeed, at least I’ll live as I believe No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all is happening to me I found the greatest love of all inside of me The greatest love of all is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

I think as humans evolve, grow and assess their life and life experiences they most likely come to this realization. This song is real and she told it like it was/is.

This song makes me cringe. Self-centred navel-gazing. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

Everybody’s searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs A lonely place to be And so I learned to depend on me sometiems thats what happens..i love this song, dont quite get the beginning, but love it nonetheless

first verse: first is the perspective of our future. song talks about our future. the children. I believe the children are our future - perspective, setting the tone in looking forward. Teach them well and let them lead the way - if they are the future, we should lead them. Show them all the beauty they possess inside - encourage the future. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier - sense of accountability, ownership. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be - they are the direct reflection of ourselves 2nd verse: second is, the tone of a normal person. 9 out of 10 a person thinks. Everybody's searching for a hero - this is us People need someone to look up to - yes we do I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs - this however, the composer inserted his own perspective. A lonely place to be And so I learned to depend on me - based on the composer's experience he learned. Chorus: The composer talks about his experience, life is full of failure and success. I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows - dont imitate someone, be yourself. If I fail, if I succeed At least I'll live as I believe - your own experiences teaches you, and gives you accountability and ownership of your failures. No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity - other people say your wrong but you know you can trust to depend on what you believe in, and be strong that way. Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me - the composer says the reason is that the greatest love is evident in his life. I found the greatest love of all Inside of me - again declaration, that greatest love is within The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve - if its easy you and I can probably do it too. Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all - this is very deep. let me try to enumerate. loving ourselves amounts to many different things. - we respect ourselves - we are confident - we know that God is actually Love itself. ok the reason why this is, is because God teaches love. here is the love that Jesus is talking about. “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’c This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ if you love God, you will love everyone else and yourself too. if you love God, it means you will know respect, you will know peace, you will know how important self esteem is. God is love and this is what the song is saying. the composer found the greatest Love of all.
