Driving home from work today, I saw a kid on the sidewalk doing a thoroughly dorky dance. He saw me looking at him, caught my eye and gave me a big smile and a wave. Naturally, I smiled and waved back.
I get so much joy from how unselfconscious kids are. My nephew loves to dance and he will dance and dance until he literally burns up all the dancing energy left in his body. I watched him do it at the MC Yogi/DJ Drez concert at the Kansas City Yoga Festival a couple of weeks ago.
In fact, here he is doing a light saber routine at a school talent show a couple of years ago. (Sadly, the music has been removed.) Look at all that energy!
Adults worry WAY too much about what people think of them. Go ahead and give that speech, sing that song and do that dance. Your audience is way too wrapped up in themselves to judge you in any way that's going to matter tomorrow. Don't be afraid to express yourself the way your inner voice is urging you to do.
Now get out there and dance!
