Sunday Magic
It is true that we tend to find those things we actively
look for. But it is easy to drive by a beautiful,
flowering tree and not see it at all if our thoughts are focused
elsewhere. Unfortunately, our thoughts seem
to have a perverse tendency to focus on negative things and miss all the positive things that surround us. I’m not sure why that
is, but I have observed this to be true.
Make an effort to look for the good. Look for the beautiful and really notice it –
if only while passing by. Fill your mind
with lovely things, just as you would decorate a room in your house with
beautiful and memorable items. It takes
practice. But as dancers, we are all
very familiar with that!
With daily practice it will become a habit to seek out the
magic in everyday life. And magic
abounds in the world, if one simply looks for it.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Motivational Secret #48:
“Look for magic in your daily routine.”
Link of the Day:
One of my favorite
videos. The song “Simple Gifts” is a featured part of my latest manuscript. Working
title: When the Dancing Stopped; it is a ghost story about love and loss in a
Shaker village.
Quote
of the Day:
“I have always been delighted at the
prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic
waiting somewhere behind the morning.”
