Point to Ponder: “You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening and live like it’s heaven on earth.” William Purkey
Story Line: Certain events, people and images we encounter stay with us for a lifetime. I would like to share this unforgettable scene during a visit to Cambodia in 2016.
My wife and I were visiting ancient temple in the outskirts of Siem Reap. We noticed this little kid fully engrossed in dancing in tune with what seemed to be one of Michael Jackson’s songs.
Only after a few minutes of enjoying his dance, my wife pointed out that he didn’t have any music playing device. He had an ear plug with long wire not connected.
Reflection: That little kid was living up to the real message in point to ponder: Be in the present, love what you do and be free of anyone’s expectations or judgements.
Wish You the Year full of Dancing, Singing, loving and Working on things you enjoy and creating your own beautiful story.
A beautiful message to begin the new year. Thank you. ❤️

It’s about learning to love what you do (even though you may not like it in the beginning) & doing what you love…

“Very sweet. I’m inspired to make this NY resolution: I will view obstacles as opportunities. Thanks for this story. Is that a Thai chili behind his ear?”

Thanks for sharing Anand, I like the point to ponder. It’s just like “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
