Just Be Awesome

I came across a video a few days ago about rhythmic gymnastics. Seeing that I adore both gymnastics and dancing, I decided to watch the entire video. I instantly thought, "This is so lovely!" I actually got chills at one point, and little pangs in my heart the next moment. I would love to practice dancing and gymnastics again on a daily basis!

The first time I watched it, I didn't know it was a commercial, but I kept thinking, "She would be a great Pantene hair model!" Turns out, it was a Pantene commercial! Ha ha. Silly me. However, according to the commercial's creator, Grey [Group] Russia, it was initially created to give five million rubles to young Russian gymnasts. I think that's a great idea! :)

I absolutely love the message they were trying to convey in the video. (Even though I admit the video is a bit cheesy, I love cheesy!)  I basically took it as this: We should just be awesome no matter what anyone else is doing! :)

And really, haven't we all had a not-so-happy experience—or more than one—where someone was trying to sabotage what we were trying to accomplish? Seriously, there are people who rain on parades every day. (Sometimes the parade-raining is unintentional, but it hurts nonetheless.) We would be much happier if we just pushed all of the nonsense out of our minds and did our very best, regardless of what anyone else thinks, says, or does. :)

I hope you enjoy this sweet little movie as much as I did!
