What Is The Most Important Thing In Life?
messageglue

The most important thing in life may not be found just because so many different people are worried about what others think of them. They try to fit in so much that they stand out due to their efforts. Not to mention they lose themselves in the process. With this losing of yourself you become

Invisible. 

I recently had the opportunity to need to do a presentation in my Leadership and Mentoring class but I knew that I had to do something different. I did not want to do what most people would have done for the term "creative" because this "creative" is really not creative. To be honest it's more lazy than creative. I knew that I needed to do something different. So I used very little written words and decided hey if I can do this like a piece of performance art then I would be able to do this presentation without being bored. And you know what structuring my thought process like this I was able to storyboard what I wanted my presentation to be in twenty to thirty minutes.

So I'm presenting and during the active listening part I put on bunny ears which is a nod to my favorite show Drop Dead Diva, and I do yoga poses in my self care part to give a nod to how easy it can be to take care of yourself. I'm having fun and I have voiceovers and I'm fighting with the computer.

But when it's done guess what? I'm praised for being different! What? Why should I be praised for being me. Why should I be praised for being

visible

I feel bad for those that aren't comfortable to be themselves. Which brings up the most important thing.

The most important thing in life is neither tall nor small.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye.

It cannot be fully explained.

But it is the most important thing of all.

It is the ability to be comfortable to always be yourself.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
