Super Sunday Give It Time


Super Sunday Give It Time

Dance training is a slow process – extremely slow. The body changes gradually and patience is something dancers understand early. If not, they become frustrated and unhappy, thinking that they should be “getting better” faster. There is no such thing as an “instant dancer”.

If dancers work conscientiously, every day, toward their goals, it will happen. The body will change and the technique will improve. I could give a guarantee on this or sell it with an 800 number.

I started thinking about how this attitude of patience also works in life. So many things work themselves out in time. Sometimes it is a short period of time, sometimes a long period. Most of the things we worry about never happen, or by the time they do happen they turn out to be not so bad after all.

So think about that today. Whatever the problem or concern, give it time.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Motivational Secret #84:  
“Give it time.”
