Natural Energy Boosters, Fifi Box and Courage

Who is Fifi Box?

Had you heard of her before "Dancing With the Stars"? I hadn't. Yet I found myself compelled to watch because of her vibrancy, energy and courage.

Yes, Fifi Box has proven herself to be an amazing lady - transforming from an awkward and inexperienced dancer to a champion, dressed in a blue crystal gown, who obtained top scores from the judges.

 

Fifi Box didn't win Dancing With the Stars, but she was one point ahead of Kate Ceberano in the judges' scores. Kate won on the audience vote.

What an interesting contrast these two ladies made - both successful in different ways. Fifi never stopped smiling - until she began to believe the judges when they told her she could dance - and then she got serious and was able to immerse herself in the spirit of Pasa Doble and Tango like a champion..

Fifi Box - Courage, Bravery, Laughter and Fun

"It all began for Fifi Box in 1995 while lying in hospital recovering from a life threatening illness. Unmotivated, bored and with two unfinished university degrees waiting to be resumed, she decided it was time to drop everything and pursue her dream – Radio. Within weeks her bags were packed and so began her quest around regional Australia working at stations 2MC/ROXFM Port Macquarie, 3TR Traralgon and 3GG Warragul."

"Her stint as a news reader was cut short because she was unable to sound ‘serious' enough and laughed inappropriately during a lead story."

Fifi demonstrated her courage in 'Dancing With the Stars" the night she fell down the stairs on her way to the dance floor, taking her partner the gorgeous Paul Green with her. Though injured badly she still danced her routines, and won the hearts of the judges and the television audience alike.

And through her efforts she raised a lot of money for the "Learning for Life" Autism Centre.

Thank God You're Here

Fifi's career is assured. She has what it takes to be an Aussie icon - fun, the "larrikin" spirit and a good dose of bravado.

And to top it off, she was invited to join the dynamic crew of entrepreneurial comics such as Shane Bourne and Tom Gleisner on the Logie Award Winning show, "Thank God You're Here".

"Thank God You're Here" takes a group of well known performers and makes each walk through a door into a scene without any idea of who they are or what they're walking into. The only things they can depend on are their abilities to make everything up for the next five minutes and cover their tracks as they do it.

This takes courage. Yet Fifi Box wins hands down for her spirit of fun and her ability to laugh at herself and everything else no matter what. Natural Energy boosters for herself and all who watch her.

Fifi gets my vote.

Are You Courageous?

Life is for the Brave

Takes courage to keep on with living;
Awaking with joy every day.
For sometimes your life may be trying,
And seem like more work than it's play.

It may seem mundane, even boring,
With nothing to do that inspires.
There may be some times when your striving
Just doesn't bring forth your desires.

Sometimes we are hurt, even broken
By pain that is inside or out;
A problem with organs or heartaches,
A friend lost – or maybe it's gout.

That's when we may say ‘Is it worth it?
What goals am I striving to reach?'
Be brave and stay strong – you'll survive it.
Go play, or just walk on the beach.

Take gratitude rocks from your pocket,
And polish them well as you think
Of the moments in life that are lovely,
And how you have water to drink.

For the simplest of things make abundance.
The breath that you take gives you life.
The world that is free has the magic
To banish all worry and strife.

Take heart as you know you have courage
To open your eyes every morn.
And more, if you find it within you
To say, “I am glad I was born”.

Joke - Courage is Facing the Fear and Doing it Anyway!!

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"

The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.

Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"

Once again the battle was on. However, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?"

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid."

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way.

The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.

The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"

Quotes about Living Life with Energy, Fun and Courage

“The best thing about doing this show is that I'll be able to prepare....“I'm so uncoordinated and unfit...During my high school rock eisteddfod, I was put in the back row so no one could see me.” Fifi Box.

“It's always been one of my regrets, not being able to learn to dance...I'm in there for the experience and to have a bit of fun.” Fifi Box

"When I embrace a song, I want to feel it in my heart and then hear it ring in my head.". ..Kate Ceberano

"You can be dissuaded from wanting to continue in the music business, but you have got to weather out the hard knocks. My mother gave me the greatest compliment of my life when she said; the thing with Kate is that she recovers fast. And that is how you have to be". ... Kate Ceberano

"There are two sure fire ways to be unhappy; the first is to live with constant comparison and the second is to create unrealistic expectations of your life. So, take care when comparing your life to others. Equally, take care creating expectations around what life will provide you.". ...Matt Church

"Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Cut down on caffeine. Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline which is the last thing you want when you are stressed." ... Debbie Friedman
