I picked up this cd and held it in my hand for a few moments. I then put it back on the shelf. I picked it up again and held it in my hands and continued to read the synopsis on the back case. It intrigued me as I enjoy the product and performance of Cirque Du Soleil. I decided to listen. I thought it was well orchestrated teachings of how to ignite the spark of our lives within and relate the lessons to how Cirque Du Soleil functions along with the performers that come alive to make the show a reality.
One of the life lessons I gained from this audio cd was a greater perspective that being accepting as possible to one’s imagination, hopes, dreams and aspirations can lead to a vast amount of opportunities and directions which has an affect on the most practical tasks in life. It requires the willingness to take the risk, be able to accept failure and setbacks which will yield a return of important personal growth and life changing experiences.
