Sunday Best
The above photograph says it all. Simply do the best you can. It may not always be easy, and often isn’t,
but if you do the best you can you will sleep well at night, and be happier.
Doing your best means many things. Being kind is a big one (see Motivational Secret #1d, and Motivational
Secret #10). This means being
kind to yourself, too – something dancers can have a difficult time doing,
perhaps because we work with lots of constructive (hopefully) criticism. But do your best even if no one gives you
credit! You’ll know, and you will benefit
from that knowledge.
Doing your best means no
excuses. There may be reasons for not doing your best: you are sick and can’t dance, etc., but as I
say to my students, reasons and excuses are two different things!
So think about doing the best you can this week. You might be surprised at what happens.
