New Year and a New You

Every dancer needs some type of inspiration through out their career. From not nailing an audition or recovering from an injury, the world of dance can be very competitve and after a while that atmosphere can take its toll on the most rock solid shoulders. I wanted to focus this year on bringing a little bit of the wisdom that I have learned through my years as well as share with you some wisdom from other dancers who have called dance more than their profession but their life. My bit of wisdom comes from an inspirational passage that has made its way from office desks to studio walls and back again. It ultimately tells you that you are who you are and you should not change that becuase the people around you are not up to par. Life is an occassion and you must rise to it. I hope you find the same centering that I found from it. Stay glued to this blog for more exciting words of wisdom, fresh tips for the trade and all out advice from some of todays hottest dancers in the industry!

Everyone Can't Be in Your Front Row
Life is a theater- invite your audience carefully.
Not everyone is spiritually healthy and mature enought to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you LET GO, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships/friendships/fellowships!
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people. do you feel better or worse?
Which ones always have DRAMA or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you? When you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
You cannot change the people around you... but you can change the people you are around! Ask God for godly wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.
"Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you sink to theirs!"
