Sunday Steps


Sunday Steps

Today’s motivational secret is an important one, not just for dancers but for anyone who has ever doubted themselves.  Which is all of us.

Doubt makes it difficult to step forward, take a risk, or do something scary.  For dancers it means putting themselves on display in class, in an audition, or in a performance.  Non-dancers face similar situations from job interviews, to challenging assignments, to changing careers.  And each of these opportunities comes packaged with a host of doubts.

But take heart!  Know that doubt is a common experience and step forward in spite of it - maybe even because of it.  Don’t stand still because of doubt.   Otherwise, you’ll be standing in the same place today as you were yesterday.  And even a baby step forward is progress.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #48:  
“If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.”

Quote of the Day:
“I am only one, but still I am one.  I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.  And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
-Helen Keller
