Sunday Dreams and Fears

Sunday Dreams and Fears

It is easy to be overwhelmed by fear. I've blogged a bit about this before. Negative thoughts have a nasty way of bullying better thoughts and pushing them aside. Be on guard for this. Give some thought to your dreams and your wishes, because this is where your motivation lies.

When I hear a student say “I just can’t get motivated”, I know they are not following a dream. Or worse, they have no dreams at all. Dreams produce (and sustain) motivation, not the other way around.

Motivation doesn't appear out of nowhere. It is given life by those things you want to happen, the dreams you have that you barely want to recognize for fear (there it is again) they won’t happen, can’t happen, or even shouldn't happen.

Kick that fear aside. Be practical, but be a practical dreamer. Identify your dreams, secret hopes and longings.  If they are even remotely realistic, there is no reason you can’t pursue them and achieve them. The only thing standing in the way is the big bad fear bully.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #69:  
“Follow your dreams, not your fears.”
