Sensational Sunday Driver’s Seat


Sensational Sunday Driver’s Seat

Motivation. The key to moving forward toward dreams and goals, and the key to being constant in moving forward every day. But it is hard to do. So often someone else – or something else - is in the driver’s seat.

What do I mean by this? It’s when outside influences propel you in a direction you never intended, like a driver taking you down the wrong road. These other “drivers” can be many things: too much perfectionism, a lack of recognizable goals, jealously, insecurity, etc., etc., etc.  There are lots of other drivers.

The first step is kicking the wrong driver out of the car and taking the wheel yourself. The next step is asking yourself: “What do I want?” It’s like taking a road map and marking the destination with a yellow highlighter. Then you (or Google Maps) work out the best route for getting there. And, just like a map, there are often many ways and many routes to the same destination. All of them will get you there.

So get in the driver’s seat. It’s the best way to get where you want to go.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #73:
