I think I would want to be a dancer. There is just something so beautiful about expressing yourself with your entire being. Being able to control and release muscles to create movement that sings.
I guess in a way I allow my words to do the dancing.
Poetry in motion.
Isolating phrases to create rhythmic prose is dancing I suppose.
An intellectual tap dance placing readers in a trance
Fixated on the next line
Feel the tempo keeping time
I two step around things on my mind
Shuffling through life I get my hustle on
I get sore if I do it to long
Hip hop watch me drop knowledge likes it hot
These aren't just words it's a talent that I've got
I'm a modern girl living a ballerina's dream
Cha cha with me if you want to be on my team
Cause if i could be anything......

The 90-10 Rule
Last year I received a card in the mail that said. "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." So powerful and so true. When you really think about it, all of us have heard the wonderful stories about people who grew up with nothing and ended up being lawyers, doctors, executives, etc. We may not have a choice in the deck life has dealt, however we do have a choice on how we will deal with what we've been given. It may not seem fair (most of the time it isn't), but if we fix our attitude in such a way that we can get over the injustice, we just might be able to get to where we want to go a little bit faster. However if we stay down wallowing in our sorrows and throwing constant pity parties we end up going no where.
It's human nature to want to share your woes with someone else, unfortunately 90% of the time no one really cares! EVERYONE has something going on, so rather than spending most of your time drowning in your own sorrows, take time to think of someone else.
Studies have shown that people feel better when they are helping someone else. Spend 90% of your helping others and 10% having your own private pity parties. I guarantee you will look at the world in a whole different light.
