Proceed with Optimism

Shine Your Light in this World
“Flamenco Dancer (Ibiza, Spain”) | Anthony Satori
Somewhere along the line, someone probably told him, “You can’t be a flamenco dancer.” But instead of listening to them, he picked up a tasseled cloth, put on some fancy shoes, and started to put in the countless hours of practice that it takes to get really good at anything. And now, up and down the coast of Ibiza, Juan gets paid to set up a 4 ft. by 6 ft. wooden stage and dance his heart out in front of applauding audiences. His mother sings behind him, and his brother plays the guitar. And I say, more power to him. More power to them all. Life is short. Do something good, do something beautiful, do something difficult. Most importantly, do something that brings you joy, and something that brings joy to others. Shine your light in this world.
