You’ve followed the script and achieved your goals.

You’ve got the job, are making money and paying the bills. 

So what’s scratching at you. 

We spend years building a life that makes sense.

Then something irrational calls to us.

And you feel a pang. Because something is calling..

In Shall We Dance, a middle-aged accountant who seems to have it all becomes captivated by a woman dancing.

He has a loving family and a stable career but he is pulled into a new world. 

He begins to take dancing lessons and slowly embraces ballroom dancing.

It wakes something up in him and he can begin to express himself more fully.

We have this need in us. 

The need to express our selves and more importantly the spirit that resides within us.

And there are so many ways we can express it: through writing, painting, signing, dance.  

And we are taught to keep ourselves focused on the task at hand and the needs of the situation. 

But if we are not able to express ourselves for who we truly are, we can begin to lose something. 

Reflection

There are many ways to express ourselves even through our work. And we do we open up a part of ourselves and when we share it we have truly shared that spark with others and perhaps that can spread one spark at a time. And at the least perhaps we bring a little more joy to the lives we live.
