Life is a stage and everyday is a performance. You alone can determine the level of your performance. So, why sit back and live in fear? Why keep rehearsing until the “perfect” opportunity shows its face. This is your perfect opportunity to get on the stage and begin your dance with life. All you need is a great pair of shoes!!! Wise and Witty Words for Your Life’s Journey.
“The music to life is knowing when to dance.”
Where are you in your life? Are you achieving the goals you’ve set for yourself? You can either spend every day regretting not accomplishing what you set out to do or you can start where you are and begin the path of accomplishing what you’ve always wanted to do. Life will present itself whether you’re ready or not. So, stop fighting it and face it. You have to learn when and how to dance. Get up, stand up, put on your dancing shoes and meet life where you are. Do not wake up tomorrow with regrets. Wise and Witty Words for Your Life’s Journey.
“You cannot search for happiness when it resides in you.”
What brings you happiness? Is it taking five minutes a day to meditate or spend time with you? Is it going for an early morning walk while watching the sunrise? Or, is it spending more time with your loved ones? Whatever it is, find a way to expand on it every day. For me, happiness comes from being in the presence and basking in the glow of my five year old daughter. Wise and Witty Words for Your Life’s Journey.
“The measure of your life lies in how you utilize your days.”
We are surrounded by beauty all around us. It is very important to stop and take it in. Too often, we go through life hustling and bustling and we forget to stop and explore our surroundings. Life is an exploratory journey with many stops along the way. It is important to take time to see the stops and not run through them. Wise and Witty Words for Your Life’s Journey.
