Strut your stuff: Head held high, chin up, chest out: BE PROUD!

Yes, my title sounds like an excerpt from a sappy motivational book, I know. But as we resume school again (sadly) we're getting down, funked up, in the blues...

We're afraid of limits, of reaching the impossible, or trying and failure, of shame and humiliation, the laughter and embarrassment.

We dream of striving the unattainable, of grasping the extents of imagination, and turning it into reality; the hopes and thoughts of a philosopher, meshed and mixed, churned into life.

So, come on, as they say in Disney Channel "EXPRESS YOURSELF!" (LOL to that XD but you get my drift, I hope)
Break the constraints of your mind, unleash that inner spirit, be different! Don't go with the flow, make your own.


HOW?!


Don't be shut up all the time, let what you've got out! Not only with friends, to all those near and around you, let that infectious spirit tide over all. Like seeds in fertile soil, it'll germinate and grow. It can infect and spread, shedding laughter and joy everywhere, breaking the monotony of the cycle of life.

Take a deep breath, and close your eyes. See in that vision of imagination, and inspire those around you. Sing in the rain, help a stranger, hang out with different people, get out of your circle of familiarity! Heck, throw off your clothes and dance under moonlight! (OK scratch that last part; the police will fine you for misorderly conduct)

As we enter 2009, unleash those shackles, and let it all out.

So. Strut your stuff: Head held high, chin up, chest out and about, and let that inner music ring.
