"Whatever happens on the dance-floor, keep dancing." ...that was the words of my dance coach (Raydel). On that fateful day when I missed my steps, tripped and fell right on the dance floor. It was so depressing because we were in the public. I was too embarrassed that I fell. A fear almost crept in. I went away learning a new lesson not just about dancing, but about life itself. Do you know that life is all about movements? Dynamism is of the essence. And the essentials, the basics and the molecules of all forms of dance is movement. So you cannot afford to get stuck.
Allegorically, life and dance are synonymous. The symbolism is movement. If you cannot appreciate movement, you cannot succeed with life. We are called into movements. We must never "settle". The moment you start feeling cool that you have arrived, you start going down! Sometimes, downward-spiral can be very subtle. You may not even realize that you are becoming gradually immobile. You may feel that you are just taking it easy. Inspiration and intentionality are inseparables. You cannot be truly inspired and not be proactive. The art of taking deliberate action in the direction of your compelling vision is the key. It is important to dream continuously and work towards those dreams. I have heard certain people boast of flagrant dreams. Talk about building castles in the air. The difference is in the action! It is important to always remember that if you are not moving you will get stuck. Being static is the first phase of getting stinking and rotten.

I remember the wise words of ancient sage: "To be truly productive in life; you got to be able to handle pressures that comes naturally, as well as pressures that come unexpectedly" . The real you is revealed to you through crisis. It is in moments of adversity that you understands who you really are, and what you were called to do in life. You cannot realize your fullest potentials without adversity. That is why adversity can be a gift sometimes. Why? because adversity makes you fully matured. You are not prepared for greatness until you have faced trials and tests. Some of these are unannounced. Some adversities come like an ambushment. Nonetheless, it is important to know that: nothing can hit God by surprise.Nobody can stop His purpose.Even the plots and schemes of the enemy are ingredients and condiments of divine plan.He will do what He said. He is too jealous over you than you can ever imagine!
Every pressure is meant to shape you. That is how you learn mastery. You got to learn to defuse "bombs of misdemeanors" that life throws at you. Although, it was meant to destroy you; your detonation capacity and defusing tacts count. Your reflex lies in how much you prepare your mind to handle the worst of all that could ever happen to you. Your ability to keep progressing in spite of oppositions is one of the prerequisites of finishing strong. In order to end well, keep moving! Know that your success is within your whiskers when you face the worst of all adversities. Do not waste your sufferings in static-ism. It is time to move on towards the mark! This is my wise-shot at you. Take this and run! Press towards your destiny. Achieve greatness! You were born for this! And you are almost there! It shall be well!
