Day 4: Embracing My Talent in Dancing

When I was a little kid, around 5-6 years old, I wasn't good at dancing because my moves weren't that great, and I couldn't catch up with the rhythm and beat of the music. It wasn't until my mother encouraged me to join curricular activities or contest at my school that things began to change. We had a trainer to guide us and help improve our moves. As days passed, my dancing skills improved, and I started to follow the rhythm of the beat nicely. It feels like my body moves freely when I hear music play. Dancing, for me, is an art form that transcends boundaries and speaks to the depths of our souls. It is a powerful expression of emotion, creativity, and self-discovery. I see it as more than just a hobby or a form of exercise. It has become a way of life, a source of joy, and a means of connecting with others.

This is me when I joined a cultural contest in dancing and became the champion in my former school at ACC, along with my group members. We didn't know each other at that time because we were from different sections. Day by day, we got to know each other, discovered new things, had a lot of fun practicing, learned something new, and showcased our talents in front of a large audience. When you have a passion for dancing, it's about fully immersing yourself in the music, feeling its beat pulsating through every fiber of your being. Surrendering to the dance allows it to take you on a journey of self-expression and self-discovery. In those moments, nothing else matters except the pure bliss of movement and the connection between body, mind, and soul.

Until now, it never stop me for dancing. I can do whenever I want to because it is my passion and it represents who I am. I can show my feelings through my movement by feeling the rhythm, dancing allows me to be myself and it brings me happiness. That is why I am grateful for my talent and skills in dance, as they enable me to do the things I want to do and dance the way I desire. So, I embrace it wholeheartedly that serves as a source of inspiration, joy, and personal growth. I dance with all my heart, allowing the rythm to guide me towards self- discovery and fulfillment. Passion has the power to inspire others and ignite their own love for dancing. I let the music play, the stage be the canvas, and my body be the brush. I just go with the flow of the music and let my soul soar to the rhythm of life.

Day 1: HOW DO I BECOME A BETTER PERSON

From my experience, it takes time to reflect my strengths, weakness, values, and beliefs. Understand my emotions/feelings, triggers, and patterns of behavior. Explore yourself to find purpose, observe, be more aware and notice things the world is full of so much more that you could ever and set meaningful goals in life.

When I help someone in need, it makes me happy and grateful. Treat people with kindness, respect, and empathy. Sharing my feelings to those people who I'm comfortable with or have the same vibe and listening to their perspectives in life. Always seek forgiveness to those who hurt their feelings and doesn't seek intention to hurt you. We are human, we make mistake sometimes.

I recently focus on self-care because it's important for my health including eating healthy food, sufficient rest, and have enough sleep. Take time to relax if you're tired, don't pressure yourself. Time to unwind such as reading, spend time with your family, and many more. Develop habits that promote mental well-being, such as meditation, journaling, or practicing gratitude. Surround yourself with positive influences and create a supportive environment.

Be honest, trustworthy, and accountable for your actions. Adhere to your values and principles, even in difficult situations. Act with integrity and treat others fairly and justly. Foster meaningful relationships, build and nurture connections with family and friends.

Becoming a better person is a continuous journey that requires self-reflection, empathy, learning, positive habits, and community involvement. By committing to personal growth and striving to make a positive impact, you can become the best version of yourself and inspire others to do the same. Remember, the path to self-improvement is not always easy, but the rewards are immeasurable.
