I love this quote! It says so much; more than you might think at first glance. It is easier said than done, that much I know for sure. I try every day to live this way, but know that I don't always succeed....there are too many fears in the way.
",,,,,dance like there's nobody watching" Can you do that? That is difficult for me....I am an overly self-conscious person. I have a tendency to want to do something perfectly before I allow anyone to witness. I will work on this every day.

".....love like you'll never be hurt" Have you done this? I have and I did get hurt. Very deeply and harshly hurt. So how does one rise above that? How can you remember a hurt so bad that you didn't want to move, live, talk, smile, laugh....ever again, how can you love again knowing that the potential is there for this kind of suffering. There is no pain more humbling, more frightening, or shattering than losing someone you love. So again, how can I love again knowing this? Here is my theory.....five long, tumultuous and terrifying years later my heart is again whole, my heart has healed. I would never have believed that. I would have bet my life that my heart would never heal....healing cannot be confused with forgetting the love you lose, it is just very simply this.....I love you always Steve, you are in my heart, my whole-healed heart forever. It takes time to come to this realization, long, painful time but this realization sets me free. I can love again because I know that the pain of loss does go away.
"....and live like it's heaven on Earth." Now we know life is hard, life is challenging more often than it's easy but if you expect difficulty, you get get difficulty. If you live as if you will not be here tomorrow, it is easy. The difficulty is simply a part of life to be savored, to be conquered and how good does that feel? The conquering.....oh I am strong, I am smart, I am living.
Friends and Family make life like Heaven on Earth.....
Living by this quote is a road I am now on, a road I like, a road I find challenging but I'm taking this road.
