“Opportunity dances with those who are ready on the dance floor.” H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Most of you know that I am a Dancing With The Stars fan. Seriously! Many of the stars really get outside their comfort zones and it is great exercise. It shows us that determination and perseverance do produce results even when you are not in your element.
It is interesting that many times the star doesn’t have a dancing bone in their body. Yes, it does make for good television, but for me it is watching what goes on behind the scenes and how they overcome what is obviously a road block to pull it out by show time. We have seen that in each season, where someone is kept by audience vote purely because they want the underdog to have just one more shot. Yes, Cloris Leachman was a dancer but she ultimately was more of a performer, which we all embraced. It was as if we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. The oldest performer to date on DWTS, yet she could do leg lifts, spins and splits with the best of them.
As you watch this video embrace your inner “Cloris Leachman” and never underestimate someone with the power of passion. It is not about what others think you should do, because of who you are or how old you are. It is about how you feel inside. You can do anything you set your mind to do.
How passionate you are about life?
Take a moment and while you are watching think about what YOU would really enjoy doing now and in your twilight years and put it on your vision board. Don’t stare at it. Do something about it … everyday. The ole gal in the video didn’t become a salsa dancer overnight.
So ..do you want to be barely moving from chair to bed or dancing in the moonlight?
I am gonna be dancin’!
