How can we know the danger from the dance?
How do you recognize the difference between what is good for you and bad for you? Does fun mean bad? Does safe mean good?
How do you balance security and risk? When is it best to tread carefully? When should you throw caution to the wind?
How do you evaluate your need and their need? When do you sacrifice yourself for the good of someone else? When do your sacrifices border enabling?
Living only for our own comfort is the worst kind of extravagance; and truly brings no satisfaction in the end. And a life of consistently compromising ourselves to accommodate the agendas of others only serves to annihilate us and the gifts we could share with the world.
Can we ever really know the danger from the dance? I don’t think we can. At least not until our decisions finally play themselves out. But a really good indicator that we’re making the right decision may be to question our motives for the choices we make.
Am I acting from a place of love or am I acting from a place of fear?

I studied Yates in university and enjoyed reading his work. Questiong ¨our motives for the choices we make¨ is certainly a conducive way to look at it.

I was reading your post and answering every question as I read it. It felt like it was building up with steam to where it was going. Great post Diana. It’s not an easy dance to master. It’s always changing. And never repeated.

We all need to dance and be mindful of the steps we take but at times we can all get caught up in the movement and end up flat on our face or bum but such is life when it happens we need to pick ourselves up dust ourselves off and continue dancing.

“Am I acting from a place of love or fear?” I attempt to remember to ask myself that question many times a day. I don’t always like my answer. That often helps me to improve my attitude and behavior. Thank you for the reminder, Diana.
