MIGHT AS WELL DANCEHOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLESTMight As Well Dance written by Judson Laipply is currently at the publishers (1-09). Have you heard of Judson Laippy? I hadn’t until he appeared on KTLA morning news this week. He has a video on you tube called Evolution of Dance it has become the most viewed video on the internet of all time. So what does this have to do with retirement? Everything! The book "Might As Well Dance" is inspirational and about living life to the fullest. When he was on the morning news the message I got was Just Do It. He was talking about how some people won’t dance because they “don’t know how”, and are embarrassed to get up and dance. Judson never had that problem, didn’t know how to dance but did it any way. Not caring if he made a fool out of himself or not, he had fun! His videos "Evolution of Dance 1 & 2" are so simple but also very creative. Do you remember the saying "Can't Dance Might As Well" this is about removing can't and just going for it. Might as well Dance through life and enjoy it. How many times have you not done something because you either did not know how or felt you would embarrass yourself? Probably a number of times over the years if you are like me. Has your perspective on enjoying life and trying different things changed? Mine certainly has! In fact, I got the biggest kick out of a comment that both my sons made after seeing this website. They are twins but I really did not expect them to both tell me the identical thing. “Mom, I did not know you had it in you to do a website like that”.
This really made me laugh because I have always told them that if someone has done something, nine times out of ten, you can find information written about it. So read what is available and figure out how it is done and Just Do It. Might as well Dance, do the things you've thought about and just have not done. Before I attempted to build a website I thought it was out of my technical knowledge also. I took my own advice and put my mind to it and just did it. I have enjoyed the process and when I look at my statistics and see new visitors and especially visitors who return time and again, the joy I feel in being able to help others warms my heart. It’s really a fun experience. So, I Might As Well Dance some more. With today’s internet you can find information on everything, you no longer have to go to the library and search through book after book trying to get answers to your questions or problems. It is all right at your finger tips. Type the keywords into your browser and hit search and you get page after page of related material. You can even learn to dance by watching videos. Isn’t technology great? Might As Well Dance will inspire you to greater things in your life. It will also make you think and look at life differently, while making you laugh. Life is suppose to be fun and enjoyable, why miss out by not dancing? Just get out there and do it! No matter what it is. You can do it if you put your mind to it. We all need to step back at times and reevaluate the way we look at things. As Boomers we “set out to change the world” and we did. Was it all for the good, probably not, but I do believe that 99% of the changes we brought about were good. Are we done? Should we let the younger generations fight the new battles for change alone? Hell No! We are greater in number than any other generation, we have to help them make this world a better place. Why not put all the years of experience you have, out there for others to benefit from? With the economy down, younger generations need help to survive. They were raised when the times were good. Parents usually both worked and anything that needed to be done around the home was hired out. Dinner was ordered and brought in, a lawn man mowed the lawn every week, housekeepers came in and cleaned sometimes even doing the laundry for the family. I’ve spoken to “kids” in their early 20’s that are struggling and don’t know where they can cut back. They buy coffee at Star Bucks every day. At $5.00 a cup that’s $35.00 a week and $140.00 a month; a years worth of Star Bucks is $1,680.00. They only think of it as $5.00 a day. Once this is pointed out they ask is it hard to make coffee? I don’t know how. These are not stupid individuals either, these young adults have been raised at a time when it was easier to get everything take out and families could afford to do so. It’s time we as Boomers “Might as well Dance” and give our knowledge to those who seek it. Build an informational website and share your expertise with the world. In doing so you become an entrepreneur with all the tax credits available to business owners plus the income earning potential of your website. Creating a Website link will explain how I built this site. Don't be afraid to get out there and do the things you thought you could not do. Dance to the music, have fun and enjoy yourself. So what if you aren't "Dancing with the Stars" material, most people aren't. Try different things when ever you get the chance, life is short and there are not many "redoes". Might as well dance, sing, snow board, play what ever the "it" is go for it. Evolution of Dance will make you laugh and remind you of the joys of youth. There are two videos be sure to watch them both. Try watching one with out the sound and see if you can name the song he is dancing to. Enjoy!
