Sunday R



Sunday R

There are lots of “R”s in our life. We think we’ll be happy if we win the lottery and become rich. We think when we meet Mr. or Ms. Right we’ll have the perfect relationship that will make us happy. Dancers think when they get into this company or that company or get the perfect role they’ll finally get the recognition that will make them forever happy.

Nope. Happiness is fleeting, we all know, but the secret to lassoing it more often  lies in another “R”: a Readjusted Mental Attitude. I’ve blogged on many subjects, but most of them are related to this simple idea: you can’t always change your circumstances but you can always readjust your attitude to them.

When there is a choice (and there is always a choice) to respond positively or negatively, actively pursue the positive. Every day remind yourself of those things you have right now that make you happy. Readjust.

That’s the secret. That’s the big “R” for happiness.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #157
Remember the “R” of happiness.”
