Life Lessons from Break Dancers on Bourbon Street

This entry was originally published at Viral Happiness

During a recent weekend trip to New Orleans, we watched break dancers on Bourbon Street. They were great - exceptionally talented. But, it was more than just their physical talent; they also had a great presentation, a great connection with their audience, and evident passion for their profession. It became immediately apparent that these guys had been together for a long, long time - they were exceptionally polished.

Last week, I was watching a TV competition called America’s Got Talent, and there were the same guys I had seen in New Orleans. They told a very moving Hurricane Katrina story. Their personalities were evident. They had won over the audience and the judges before they performed. And then they performed exceptionally well.

So what does this have to do with  Viral Happiness? Just this. Success is a necessary aspect of happiness, and success leaves clues.These guys were polished. These guys were passionate. These guys had put in lots of practice. And these guys told a great story. You can watch their performance below.

Do you want to manifest satisfaction and success in your life’s work? Take a cue from these break dancers.  Be passionate. Practice. Let your personality shine through. Tell a great story. And do what you love. That’s the real key. Do you currently love what you do everyday? You’ll never be passionate about your life’s work until you do. How do you discover what your passion might be? Feel free to suggest your favorite ways in a comment below, and we’ll discuss those and other great methods in a subsequent post.
