"87 year old salsa dancer". This video inspires me in many ways as you her the tittle you will ask. Does this old lady actually dances? And good? Well let me tell you; oh yes she can dance! and very good in dead. Even better than a young girl. The name of this old woman is Lydia Lerma and life to her has been a little rough. She actually was a very sick woman who had to spend a lot of time in doctor's offices and medical facilities. She had already undergone two open heart surgeries and seven angioplasties before she discovered the salsa. But now all of that is in the past, now she dances her life of in the stage dancing salsa, like a professional. Everytime I see this old woman's videos, the way she performs, it just touches me very strong. She inspires me, she even makes me believe that nothing in life is impossible. Just knowing all the things that happen to her and neither of them collapsed her, instead they only made her stronger. Also she shows us a valuable lesson that things in life do not have an exact age to accomplish. Therefore I urge you, if you ever feel in your heart a great desire to do or achieve something, just do it and do not even think once, because life is only one and who knows maybe tomorrow your contract with life will be finished. So never put obstacles in that you wish to accomplish just say to your self if Lydia Lerma after all her surgeries and heart problems at the age of 87 become a salsa dancer. I also can accomplish what my heart screams strongly with desire to achieve. Because only you are the owner of how far you can get in life. So don't ever be afraid to fulfill your dreams and enjoy life at anytime no matter how young or old you are just like Lydia Lerma, the 87 year old salsa dancer.
