Need A Life Change? Some Little Ideas Can Go A Long Way.

Posted December 14th, 2008 by Healing Laughter and filed in Inspirational

Too many virtual hours with computers? Need a life change? Do you feel like the life you’re living is too small? Well, meet Matt Harding. Matt quit his computer job and then had a little idea that has gone a long way. Matt has a little dance and because he’s a nerd it’s the only one he knows. He put a video of himself doing his dance on Youtube, once, and people liked it. The Matt Dancing Video got passed around by these people, one person to the other.

But maybe you know all this already because now Matt is famous.

This video, “Where The Hell Is Matt? (2008)”, has had more then 13 million views on Youtube and if you’ve already seen it, I hope you’ll appreciate it once again. But if you’re like me and hadn’t, well, here’s Matt: he dances his dance with people all around the world because they ask him to come visit their country so they can dance with him.

Oh! Did I mention that Matt gets paid to do this? He’s got a sponsor!

Matt says that he’s a “nerd” and an “introvert”. Which means, by the way, that there is hope for me and maybe, you, to live a bigger life and make a difference like he does.

It seems to me that Matt is a regular, decent guy who gets to do something in his life that I think is amazing. People are responding to his work by coming out, where ever he is, to express themselves for a few minutes. They do their own little dance, with him, in front of a video camera so that other people, like me, like you, can watch it on the world wide web, and feel good. Sometimes there’s only a few people, sometimes a whole mob and you can’t even see Matt in amongst them.

Watching Matt’s video gives me a sense of community with these people from all over, from places I’ll probably never get to. And it just feels nice and heart warming to watch them all doing their thing. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I do.

And, Matt, should you ever read this: Thank you.
