"Dirty" dancing: the dance of freedom

The dance of ideas. The flow of thoughts. The impermanence of moods. Your ideas impact your thoughts and your thoughts change your mood. They dance to different tunes, positive or negative tunes. What are your ideas dancing to? Are they dancing to joy? Are they dancing to sorrow? Is the dance upbeat? Or is it repetitive and dull? Is it a case of happy feet or gloomy march? Is it springy or stompy? Your dance of ideas will affect your mood eventually. Then, your life, completely. You determine it's choreography. Left alone, on autopilot, it will drag it's feet, lumber along, aimlessly, without passion, without soul. So, personal choreography is a bold, irreverent and deliberate act to rally your ideas and inspire them to a joyful, spirited ode - expressive, passionate and enthusiastic. Don't go on autopilot mode. Take charge of the dance. When struck by a mournful dance, a depressive waltz or a restless pantomime, threatening to descend into a phantasmagorical blur, take decisive rein over them, get them on your cue and shake them up. Movement is passion. Purposeful movement is purposeful passion. So, be the lord of the dance of ideas. Be the choreographer of your life. Make it inspiring, make it spectacular, make it life-changing! In the triumphant words of Dr Seuss, "Be who you are and say what you feel because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind."
