A few days ago, I was reading the phrase “Dance Before the Music Ends” and I meditated on it. Life is like a music box because it has different melodies, rhythms, and lyrics. Many times, we feel so happy that we seem to touch the sky, other times we feel the opposite.
Remembering the days before when the victrolas or radiolas were used to listen to songs but we had to place the record on a plate and put the needle in the place that we thought our favorite song would be heard. In those times, unlike now, there was no other way to know in which line the song we liked was and we had to guess. And if the record got scratched, the needle kept on the same side repeating the same word and it was not until we picked it up and moved a little that the melody did not continue. Today everything is so different we just press a number and we already hear it, incredible how time passes!
Life is similar to the victrola and we must learn to dance to the sound of the music, and we must live without regretting and without waiting for the song or life to end. When the stumbling blocks come and we stagnate without advancing into failure, we cannot give up. We must do it as it was done in the past, lift and move the needle to continue. Do it with your life, get up yourself, do not expect anyone to do it for you, pick up your pieces, do not repeat the same mistakes, arm yourself with courage, strength and go to the next song.
Sometimes we do not know the paths that life takes us, and we must take risks and put the needle where we believe is correct. If it does not work, it does not matter, we still have opportunities as long as the music does not end. Give your days rhythm and flavor and do not stop until the melody is over.
