A flash from the past!

I was going through some old photos when I found this video of a routine I was practicing for a competition. It brought back good memories. I think it's time for me to start creating something again. I really enjoy the combination of explosive strength training, dance, yoga and rocking out to good music.

Insight

Tomorrow is Not Promised.  Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: Your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whether they are events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from, in fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart...

If someone loves you, Love them back unconditionally, Not only because they love you, But because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to thing You would have never seen or felt without them.

                            Make every day count.
                           Appreciate every moment
                           and take from it everything
                           that you possibly can,
                          for you may never be able
                           to experience it again.

                               Talk to people
                      You have never talked to before,
                            And actually listen,
                         Let yourself fall in love,
                                 Break free
                         And set your sights high...

                              Hold your head up
                     Because you have every right too.
                  Tell yourself you are a great individual
                         and believe in yourself...
                    For if you don't believe in yourself,
                   No one else will believe in you either.

                            Create your own life
                               and then go out
                               and live in it!
                               "Live Each Day
                           As If It Were Your Last
                          Tomorrow is not promised"


Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death. -Ayn Rand

Thought Of The Day

"When one door closes another one opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which 
open for us."

Alexander Graham Bell
