Words to Live By - Mia Michaels

Ok, Ok, I know... I already posted today, jeez.... but I was on facebook and saw a video posted of a speech Mia Michaels gave to the WGI members who stayed for a clinic with her the day after world finals. These are words that I live by, seriously, and she said it so well. Did I mention that the whole "I can't" is what I tell all of my guard kids? I mean ALL of my guard kids, from elementary to high school. So here you go... words to live by via Mia Michaels...

Challenge yourself, push yourself, alright? You want to really push yourself. This moment that we have together will never ever ever happen again, ever. This is all we have right now. This is it. If you want to walk out of here after class and go “I pushed myself to a place I never knew I could.” Always keep breaking down those walls. Keep breaking down what you think you can do, always. Don’t stay comfortable, ever. There’s no “I can’t” ever. And anybody who’s around you that says you can’t, you need to discard them and move them out of the way, because it’s like “No, I can. I can do anything. Anything is possible.” But it’s all your choice. It’s about what you want and how you want to process and how you go on your journey. So you can go on your journey halfway, which will manifest halfway. If you’re like “Oh they’re really lucky” or “they’re this” or “they’re that”. No, they’re probably not really lucky they probably just really went for it full out. And we don’t know that. They just kept knocking down doors and barriers and walls and went full out all the time in order to get to where they want to be in their life. So that’s all it is. If you choose to just kindof walk, or choose to sprint. You know like when you’re a little kid, and you close the door to your bedroom and you put music on and just go. Do you remember that? Remember that freedom? And that like lack of judement? Right? You just go, and you go hard, right? If you can un-cage your spirit and allow it to just go and dance and be free, your body has got to get in line. It has to. It has to listen to it and it just goes. And that place of freedom and that place of just trust, is the most amazing place you can dance from.
