AYD - Show Me Some Dance Moves

"Dance like no one is watching."

Always good advice.  Basically means, let go and just be yourself. Don't get hung up on fears of judgement.  The happiest of people appear to be those that live their life like that.... and not just on the dance floor.  They carry themselves differently.  They command attention.  They are like a magnet.

Have you ever really sat back and taken a moment to enjoy people watching?  Just step out of the main flow of foot traffic and gaze upon the faces going by?  Picture an often used scene from movies of people walking on a crowded New York sidewalk.  Who grabs your attention?  Who stands out in this simple and repeated activity? Can you find the magnets?

If I were standing on the side this morning as you walked by in a group of people, might I be drawn to look at you for some unannounced reason?  Can I see the dance in your expressions? 

You may not be able to physically Tango with a rose in your mouth all through your day, but you can embrace your day like life is a dance and wear your Gratitude of that in your appearance.  You can dance in many different ways and not worry about what others think.  You can share the joy of your dance with your attitude, demeanor and expressions. 

"Dance" like no one is watching - if you wish - or let it all show - for just remember, some of the ones watching, are just trying to learn some feel good dance moves. Inspired people may be quieter than the judgemental...but they are there in larger numbers.

Dance your dance like noone is watching, but please allow me to enjoy your flow of expression as it is more inspiring than you know.

Good morning, greater day.
Greater you, has moves you never knew you had.

AYD - July 7, 2014 - Make Eye contact with the Meaning

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
- Henry David Thoreau

A statement that could launch 1000 books.
Or something as simple and meaningful as your day.

Perception can be the enemy that writes your script before your emotions get past the headline ... or it can be the greatest success planner you ever partner with.

A goal, a morning, a task ... or the love of your life.

Take time to soak it all in.  Take time to truly see the value in what is at hand.

Take time to understand what this statement says to you personally.

Good morning,
Greater day.

Greater you, is seeing more than a passing glance.

AYD - June 26, 2014 - Swing Batta Batta

“Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”
- Babe Ruth

Fall down 7 times, get up 8.  Same message.
Learn from your mistakes.  Same message.
Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.  Same message.

If we stand and let the ball go by without a swing, we argue on it twice.  Once with ourselves for the indecision and lack of action; and once with the guy yelling out to the world that we just missed a wonderful opportunity with one universally understood word.

"Stttteeeerike !!!"

And we plead our case with excuses.

"That was up here!"  ( Translation - I was afraid to reach.)
"That wasn't near the plate!" ( Translation - I was uncertain.)
"Are you blind?!" ( Translation - I missed that opportunity, how did you see it?)

But if we swing for the fences ... everyone, including ourselves, know we mean business and we are not afraid to put ourselves in play.

Take a swing, you will energize.
Catch a piece of that ball, and watch how all those players stand up at attention on the next pitch.

Good morning, Greater day.
Greater you, shows people you can reach the outfield.
Swing Batta Batta.
