My calling is to encourage others going through tough times to not give up. My website is based on the quote, “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass . . . It's about learning to dance in the rain.” by Vivian Greene. I like this quote so much for so many reasons. It doesn’t deny the reality that life has storms. The goal isn’t to not have storms. The goal is what we do within those storms. The goal is to DANCE.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional dancer. I took many lessons but lacked the discipline to achieve that particular goal. That’s okay though because being a dancer isn’t about an achievement, it’s about a love of movement. It’s an awareness of your existence in the world and embracing the joy that comes from moving your body. My goal is to bring that awareness and joy into my life. That sense of being is mine. It doesn’t come from external sources; it comes from me.
When life is hard it’s easy to get focused on the storm, but joy comes in the midst of the storm from our own strength. We take our eyes off the storm and just dance, moving forward, embracing the exploration. Don’t wait to dance! When you feel overwhelmed or discouraged just dance. Tap into your inner strength and just move in the moment.
Tell me, how do you dance? How do you tap into the movement of your heart within the struggles of the world? Share how you dance in the rain!
