      To my family, for their love

      To God, for this inspiration

      "The greatest tragedy of life is not death but life without a purpose - life with the wrong priorities.

      Life's greatest challenge is in knowing what to do.

      The greatest mistake in life is to be busy but not effective.

      Life's greatest failure is to be successful in the wrong assignment."

      - Dr. Myles Munroe

      Liberty Dancehouse is a metaphor for a place of liberty from the fears, limitations and worries of our lives.

      It is a location in our life’s journey where we find purpose and are driven to take calculated actions towards achieving the purpose.

      It is a state of fulfilment - being successful in your purpose, or achievement of a major goal in our lives.

      I have written this book to walk with you

      on your path to your Liberty Dancehouse.

      Broken Roads

      This doesn’t seem right! Ela finally grumbled with a frown.

      Are we really walking down this long broken road? What if we can’t find a Dancehouse anywhere around? She questioned fearfully.

      "It is dangerous to walk around in the night.

      There could be dangerous people at the corners. Or even wild animals.

      We could get lost and not be able to find our way back.

      It is safer to stay home!" Ela complained.

      Poor Ela is being persuaded by her best friend and roommate, Agna, to take a decision against her best interest.

      Naive Agna would not welcome any thought that could jeopardize her chance of finding good music in a Dancehouse! Her mind was made up. I need some music! I will not be happy if I remain here. she reiterated, convincing Ela for the umpteenth time, who quite helplessly had to agree.

      This way! Agna led while Ela followed reluctantly.

      Agna and Ela are college students in their early twenties. One could think of them as sisters, not only because of their closeness, but also because of the striking resemblance in their looks. People had often taken one for the other.

      Their personalities however, are quite unalike. Agna is an extrovert and likes to force her opinions on others. Ela on the other hand, is a calm listener and slow to speak. While Agna jumps to conclusion on matters quickly and easily; Ela internalizes them, thinks over and again, considers possible alternative meanings and then comes up with well thought-through conclusions.

      In effect, boredom means different things to them. To Agna, boredom is the lack of activities. To Ela, boredom is the lack of internal drive. Agna is bored when there is nothing to do, Ela gets bored when there is no passion to do a thing.

      Agna feels lonely when there is no one around, Ela feels alone instead. To Ela, aloneness and loneliness mean different things. Aloneness, to Ela, is a positive feeling of the need to stay out of the noise of everything external in a bid to listen to oneself.

      So, while Agna sulks over the absence of friends, Ela remains calm and activates her creative self.

      Not hearing the noise of others around, helps you hear yourself Ela would argue. Agna, of course always disagreed. It is no fun to be alone! It sucks! she claimed.

      Ela is able to differentiate the
