On August 14th I landed in Amsterdam at 6:02AM. My NIKE Rockstar colleagues and I sleepily walked outside to get picked up by our driver.

A few minutes passed. No driver. A few more passed. Still no driver.

(Just FYI, we were in Amsterdam to teach the NIKE Rockstar Workout Africa. For me, African dance is new and I LOVE it!) While we were waiting, I looked up and saw this awesome Vodafone Ad.

Ha! Wisdom and inspiration at 6:02 AM. In that moment, I saw we had a choice. We could either stand around and waste time (and get tempted by our thoughts to complain) OR we could rehearse the Africa choreography on the sidewalk while we waited for our driver.

So what did we do? Of course, we danced :). Besides extra rehearsal time, we had fun entertaining fellow travelers and staying warm (that morning was quite chilly!). Within minutes, our fantastic driver Robert appeared to take us to our hotel.

I love the idea of making the most of now - no matter where you find yourself. To some, it may sound trite. To me, it’s a simple recipe for a fantastic experience of life.
