Life’s a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don’t worry about what you don’t know
Life’s a dance you learn as you go

The longer I live, the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive
There’s a time to listen, a time to talk
And you might have to crawl even after you walk
Had sure things blow up in my face
Seen the long-shot win the race
Been knocked down by the slamming door
Picked myself up and came back for more

Life’s a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don’t worry about what you don’t know
Life’s a dance you learn as you go

I love these lyrics from John Michael Montgomery song life’s a dance. Every time I learn something new or face a new challenge, this song pops in my head. Growing up on trucking music (old-style country), I love the songs that tell a story. Since I have been married, I have expanded my music tastes and listen to everything from Broadway to Metal. But it’s the songs that tell a story in any genre that really get to me. Songs can invoke feeling of joy, hate, love, passion, grief, guilt, and pure empowerment. Ever been in a situation where the right song comes on and you begin to sway and get a vibe-like feeling? You get ramped up and feel like you can take on the world, songs like “Eye of The Tiger” from the Rocky movies. If that song doesn’t get moving, please check your pulse!

The cool things about songs is they can evoke so much emotion that they can be a key to accomplishing your goals. Have an important meeting coming up? Try listening to “Eye of the Tiger” or Eminem’s song “Lose Your Self.” Have a morning where you can’t get moving?  Listen to “You Gotta Want I,” Roberta Gold, from Fame.  Have a day when you just want to throw in the towel and sulk? Go listen to “300 Violin Orchestra,” Jorge Quntero. The trick is finding that music that can inspire you. Like the song, “I Can Only Imagine,” look for the Team Hoyt video on Youtube.

When you need that boost, find your best song and jam in car or with an mp3 player. In a matter of a few minutes you can have a completely different experience than you were having.
