I love dance, but just not today.

Do you ever feel like we should love what we do every second of every day? I do.

"I love dance, but just not today." Why is that? Why do I sometimes believe when I'm burnt out from dance that maybe I should just give it up? I think sometimes that what I love more than anything else is not worth it or what is making me unhappy. But we are the product of our unhappiness. We all go through these doubts, but to let them take over and defeat you is just silly. I love dance, but just not today means hey, I need a mental break. I need to put my energy into something else for awhile and come back to it.

My thoughts sometimes make me question whether or not my decision to keep dancing is right. Why would I think that? Dancing is life to me. It is what gives me purpose and meaning. Whether or not I'm actually the one doing it or just inspiring people to move, it's what I do. I'm not giving up on my goal to open my dance studio someday because I simply had an "off" day.

“Goals give you a compass in order to direct your path through life. Goals focus your thoughts and actions on areas that have precise purpose and meaning.”
