I sort of feel like I’ve reconnected with an old friend! Anyone else remember Ze Frank??! His early flash video tutorials used to crack me up. Neatly filed under “educational videos” on his site, this How to Dance Properly was probably one of his first, followed by the Advanced Seminar. My advice to you is another good one for a few laughs! … and Animal Noises for Ella! (Need to show my kids that!)
It’s been a while since I’ve thought about or seen Ze until I came across this video posted on Pinterest under a board called “Happy”
. It’s true Ze Frank.. wonky, a little crazy but what I also love are the intelligent pieces of advice he provides in an engaging, interesting and powerful way. Some of my favourites lines…
“Let me think about the people that I care about the most and how when they fail or disappoint me I still love them, I still give them chances, and I still see the best in them. Let me extend that generosity to myself.”
“… and let me remember that my courage is a wild dog and won’t just come when I call it. I have to chase it down and hold on as tight as I can.”
“Perfectionism may look good in his shiny shoes, but he’s a little bit of an asshole and no one invites him to their pool parties.”
