I'm thinking a person has to earn the opportunity to dance, otherwise it won't be appreciated. It's the old "work hard, play hard" expression at the least. At most, it's finding what you love to do and then figuring out how to get paid to do it. Either way can work... both ways have worked for me I am fortunate to say.
You just have to remember to dance.
To stop and smell the roses.
To discover then chase what you love and be relentless in the pursuit.
Here is another quote that is very much related:
“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.” Jimmy Valvano - 1946-1993 (former UNC National Champion basketball coach).
This is the message I have for Tyler and Sam - one of you has already made your discovery, the other is still on the search. Keep at it. Never give up. You will fall down. You can and will get up. It will happen if you are determined to make it so. Then you will love certain people, you will love what you do, and most of all... you will love who you are.
I want you both to do this. It is all I ask.
