One Dance at a Time
I found this video called “Girl learns to dance in a year” and as I watched her time laps from day 4 to day 365 I was absolutely transfixed. Her final performance was not only remarkable but it was so striking a progression that it was all I could do to stop watching it over and over again.
Even now, I had to stop and watch the whole thing again.
What I tend to forget when I see a great achievement or an outstanding play that moves me to tears, is all the little steps that happened from inspiration to curtain call.
She wrote on her website “This isn't a story about dancing, though. It's about having a dream and not knowing how to get there — but starting anyway.”
How she did it? She allowed the dream of dancing to consume her motivations. Slowly, day after day, as practiced and became single minded in her eventual goal.
I remembered all over again that each step I take is indeed taking me somewhere. I just need to make sure I am pointed in the right direction.
No matter how fiery the start or exotic the end goal, don’t let the middle discouraged you.
