Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out."
I love becoming still and observing this moment. Just this moment. Do I live fully right now? Or do I wait till "XY" is accomplished with the idea that at that moment I'll start living my "real life"?
Where is my attention focused on: On experiencing this moment fully with all its tastes, smells, motions, sounds? Or am I looking at an imaginary future in my head which shows me and my life with conditions I'll call "perfect" which will give me the permission to begin living my "real life"?
In my own life, I often struggled with the idea of being too heavy, of not having the ideal body. Accepting the 'what is now' allowed me to begin dancing Tango despite my judgements on my body. Instead of waiting for the right future to arrive, I started where I was. And I began to love and accept and even admire my body. And today I dance Tango and I am still not a photo model for bikinis.
