dance

Back when I was 10th grader, my parents forced me to take up ballroom dancing classes. I never really fell in love with it in the first sight (read dance) but it grew on me. Then I put this to best use in my high school prom. I kept telling myself that I was there to dance for myself and in the end I was crowned as Ms. Whirlwind for dancing non stop that night. I didn’t even get to sit down for a single song. If I could turn back time, I would gladly be time struck on my prom night.

Dancing non stop has a couple of perks.

a) You burn calories b) glimmer.

I was glimmering with sweat that is and M.A.C was ready to sue me for stealing all the ’shine’ out of their ‘Bodyshine’. Lol. Well, this is not exactly, how a girl would want to be on her prom night.

 Now, do you think all the boys asked me to dance? No, not really.

I went ahead and asked a lot of boys to dance. The fact is that most of the boys will never say ‘No’ when a girl asks them to dance. So, coming back to the scene, the other boys who saw me doing that, came and asked me to dance. Besides, I would like to think that I had the right attitude and I was and I am still a whole lot of fun. In a typical chick-flick kinda way, a jock asked me to dance. I told him “I’m very sweaty.” and he bent down and whispered “That’s why I picked you.”

So, this blog is all about making that first move. If you have been wanting to take that trip to Bahamas or drive that fancy Cadillac or buy that Malibu villa but never did because you still think that you can’t afford it. Get out of that thought process and start thinking that you can do it. It might take a while but you can do it. And start saving. Make sure that you work on a ’special savings’ holiday budget and save small amounts every month. And when you do, do it happily. Be happy to do so because in the end, it is you that is going to be soaking in the sea or driving that car or sipping vodka in your dream house. If saving is not making you happy, don’t do it. Don’t crib either. Period!

Its like what they say, if the mountain doesn’t go to Mahmoud, then Mahmoud has to go to the mountain.

Take a chance. Its one life. Thats all we get.

Take the lead, make the first move.
