EMBRACE THE OPPORTUNITY AND DANCE WITH IT!

The importance of opportunity in our lives cannot be overstated. It’s a little like luck, and it may be rather surprising at times. Most people have a list of opportunities lost because we were too timid, lacked confidence, or were frightened to venture into the unknown, no matter how wonderful the prospects were.

When we dance to our hearts’ content, we are transported to another world. We are in tune with music and dance, and it may be a fantastic experience if we are with someone we care about or would like to care about.

Dancing can be done alone, with only the music and movement to keep us company. At the same time, if we are attentive to the prospect, it may present an opportunity not to be alone, albeit we do not have to be. If we dance with someone, we might get something good out of it. Nothing will change if we dance with no one.

• Some of us place our faith in planning, making very specific goals, and working toward them when we think about our future. Long-term or short-term planning is possible. For some, there may be a daily strategy in place. That is a reasonable and perhaps prudent way of life. The question arises is how open we are to new stimuli and experiences.
• Are we willing to alter our predetermined plan and either incorporate unique aspects or allow them to take the place of existing elements? To what extent are we receptive to fresh possibilities?
• Perhaps most of us make important decisions about schooling and career concentration out of necessity rather than love. We may grow reconciled with our choices and fate early. We’re doing our best to dance our dance, but how do we react when other options present themselves?
• Do we dance around or remove ourselves from new prospects since our way of life is already established? Or do we accept or at least examine new options, even if they appear unfeasible at first?
• Embracing or dancing with a new subject or possibility isn’t about committing; it’s about opening our minds – flirting with new ideas, possible new directions, and letting things fall into place as we learn more. If you think of life as a thrilling game, the possibilities are endless.

Life is a dance with many different beats. Life is a journey. We don’t have to rationalise everything to the point of rejecting anything that doesn’t match our strategy or goes beyond our current knowledge. Embracing life does not suggest that we must accept anything we are given, but it does involve honest, unbiased assessment. Whether we fully comprehend a new experience or only scratch the surface, it contributes to our learning and development as mature, interesting people.

What are your thoughts? Are you concerned that diving too far into unfamiliar territory may lead to dissatisfaction with our current lives or unneeded because our everyday lives are complete? What are your thoughts? How can you get the greatest enjoyment out of life and all of its possibilities?
