Of all the tributes and comments about Gord Downie this week, the one I liked the best was about how he had absolutely no inhibitions when he was dancing on stage. He truly just let himself go and let his body move however the hell it wanted to. He didn’t give a shit if it looked weird or what people’s opinions were, he only cared about letting himself be free of judgement.
What he ended up doing was more than just for himself. When the star of the show leads by example, others followed. People could go to a Hip concert or throw on a mix tape and just move however they wanted, because Gord opened up that door for them. Other artists talked about how he taught them to let themselves fall into their own creativity instead of dipping their toes in, once they did this they could truly unlock their potential.
It’s a good way to live life. When you bounce, when you hug, when you high five, when you sweat…lean into it. You’ll have more fun and you’ll let someone else know that it’s ok to let it out too.
Monday’s location will be on Twitter, have a kick ass weekend!
