Jump To Your Success

For girls born in the 1970s there was one thing you had to know how to do - jump. Double-dutch style. The lure of the ropes was intense, the competition fierce, and the movement of the ropes was mesmerizing. Everyday there were girls turning ropes in sync while another girl bobbed her head, moved her body back and forth, and went into a zone where she couldn't really hear anyone but the voice in her head telling her when to GO. And then, she would jump into those ropes, moving in coordination, as if her and the ropes were doing their own private dance. On the sidelines young voices would call out, "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 2...."

She would keep jumping for as long as she could and the numbers would go higher and higher, the voices filled with excitement around her. The thrill was in the anticipating of jumping and in actually being in the ropes.

Your success is the same way. The preparation should fill you with as much joy as the moment of actually being in your element. The process itself can be thrilling. The way to enjoy your dream and truly live a successful life is to appreciate it from all sides. Just like Double-Dutch, although it may appear that you have gotten "out" and lost your turn, there is always another game waiting to get started. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, but it will be your turn again and all you have to do is remember when to move your body, get in motion, and hear that "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 2...."

Enjoy every moment of your success.

Live a Life You Love!
