How do you find Christ in the everyday?
As a working professional, the pressure to execute things perfectly is always at the forefront of our minds. But Jesus taught us that "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
YCP NYC's Director of Marketing, Michael, takes this Gospel quite literally, because he loves social dancing!
According to Michael, "Social dancing is a great reminder that it's okay to not be perfectly prepared for everything. You'll make some wrong steps, they'll make some wrong steps, but that's half the fun! Holding onto every mistake discourages you, and soon you won't find joy in your play or your work. If we can re-learn to take the tangled steps of our lives in stride, as children do, even the missteps can create our happiest memories and greatest opportunities for change. Sometimes it's the imperfect choices that open us up to the growth, joy, and love that Christ intended for us."
Today, take a moment to enjoy something that reinvigorates your child-like wonder, so that you can return to your work with a heart full of the innocence and love of Jesus. St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!
