Sunday Doubt
Dancers are perfectionists and seeking perfection breeds
doubt. Therefore dancers are
doubters. We are – generally – an insecure
breed. This is fostered, I’m sure, by
the constant flow of criticism (hopefully constructive) that rains down upon us
in every class.
But we must learn to thrive in this “city of doubt” as today’s
quote says. And we do. Dancers adjust, and even excel, surrounded by
a constant chorus of what we are doing wrong.
So in this environment of never measuring up, take
hope! Take time to remember all the
paths you have traveled, and the advancements that have been made. Don’ focus constantly on the things that need
improving without looking back on the wonders that have been – and will be -
accomplished.
Learn to thrive in the city of doubt.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Motivational Secret #31:
“Learn to thrive in the
city of doubt.”

of the Day:
“Creative people are confident in only
one thing: their own doubt. I think there’s a huge lack of self-confidence in a
creative person because, by nature, the definition of a creative person is
someone who is trying to make something new….They build within that city of
doubt.” – John Maeda
