Health and Fitness through Dancing – The Time Machine

Friday, August 5, 2011

 

 

OK, I’ve lost 41 pounds now.  Wowwie wow wow!  How has all this happened? I’m a whole new person.  I have new strength and vision.  Time has stopped for me, and I’m getting younger.  The healthier I get and the more I continue to dance, I’m turning the clock backwards and gaining new life.

My courage has doubled.  I’m running 10K’s and swimming a kilometer without stopping! Don’t mess with me ‘cause I’m on a roll.  I feel fearless and I’M NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST! Getting by is just not enough for me now.  I’m going the distance and the journey is very exciting!

We’re only going to be in this present life once, so let’s make it count. Now when I’m dancing, I don’t hurt.  My new shoulder feels great.  My back and feet don’t hurt.  I always feel healthy and happy when I’m dancing.  My health and fitness through diet, exercise, and dancing has increased my enthusiasm and my hope for continues success has blossomed.

Someone the other day said that I was a bit “brainwashed” and I was “old school” in my weight loss and hope of success.  Many years ago someone said I was “Arthur Murray Brainwashed”.  I thought a moment and said, “Well yes, I AM! I have a wonderful life. I have lots of successful friends.  My life is surrounded by wonderful students and the best teachers in the world.  I have my own home, career, great endurance and I BELIEVE in myself. I live my life to help others and I have a profession for the rest of my life”.  Yes, Arthur Murray is truly my amazing lifestyle. And you know what, I STILL feel excited to this day!

If I seem ‘Pie in the Sky’ or Pollyannaish, forgive me, but at some point we still have to dream and have faith and belief that we are going to make it in this life.  As I wrote previously, the only way I’m going to keep my weight off is by helping and inspiring others. Helping others to develop positive life style changes that will stay with them and mold their lives is now my personal key to success.

When I stood up after my horrific fall that shattered my shoulder, my first words were, “What am I going to learn from this?” The answer is that I have learned that living a life of service is the magical key. I will always have everything I want in my life because I am willing to help others achieve what they want in their lives. Call me a dreamer, but I want to be remembered for being a person of inspiration who enabled others to realize all their own visions and dreams. Tune in next week for a new installment.

Very Sincerely,

David Woodbury
