Sunday Love the Process


Sunday Love the Process

Every artist faces daily repetition, daily practice. This can become a burden and we begin to wonder why we are subjecting ourselves to this stuff, day in and day out. When this happens all love of the art (or whatever) fades away, and only the heavy obligation of daily practice remains. This is sad, to say the least.

Yes, it can be burdensome, but it helps to remind ourselves what got us here in the first place: love. At some point we fell in love with ballet, or art, or writing, or music, and we were compelled to go on this quest. And at the beginning we also fell in love with the process. Don’t forget this. Remember to love the process, love what you are doing, and refuse to get bogged down by a perceived lack of progress or a less than stellar day.

Remember to love what you are doing.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #91:  
”Don’t forget to love what you are doing.”
