Just Go Dance

Give it a chance, you learn as you go.

Just Go Dance

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."- William W. Purkey

I love going out dancing, but not all people enjoy it as much as I do. Going out dancing can be intimidating for a lot of people. Thoughts like I don't know how or I'm not good enough, are many people's excuses, but that needs to stop. You will never learn if you never try. There are so many people that have taken the chance to learn how to dance, and they are more than happy to teach new people.

Men:

Most women love to dance. They love to be swept off their feet and led around the dance floor. Those girls that stand on the side of the dance floor, are not just there to watch other people dance. They are waiting for some guy to come and spin them around the floor. Dancing doesn't have to lead into relationships, but it can. So even if you don't love dancing, remember that she might. Men, remember that you are the leader, that means women expect you to ask them to dance, don't but don't be intimidated when she drags you onto the floor. Don't refuse, give everyone at lease a chance.

Ladies:

If he asks you to dance, just do it. Try to use the "One-Dance Policy." This means dance with every guy that asks, at least once. Be polite, don't destroy his confidence. Find your own confidence as well and throw the men off guard, ask him to dance every once in awhile.

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo

To sum it up, life is short so do something spontaneous and out of your comfort zone. Change it up every once in a while. Even if you aren't sure of yourself, forget about what others think. Learn to trust your partner and to be open-minded to try new things. So go out there and try it. Just dance!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
