Follow Your Passion
I thought I’d cover some things not in my book but that might be helpful for dancers, artists and creative people. A little bit of motivation, help or positivity for you. If you’ve always dreamed of dancing, singing or expressing yourself creatively in another way, then start your journey. Any positive step will move you closer to finding your path; your truth. Truth is not subjective or affected by foolish prediction or misguided expert opinion. When I say “Truth is”, I mean that that is your actual chance of success when you take simple logical steps towards it. If you do this, if you keep focussed on your goal you will get there – regardless of fear or opinion. It is your behaviour that influences outcome, not opinion. True Success: Intellectual integrity. Organisation. Planning. Implementing your plan precisely. Your opinions on your ability might be wrong… that’s no bad thing…because we never know how far we can go…there are no restrictions, except the restrictions we place on ourselves. With accurate knowledge we are wise as we step towards a goal. Without it, we are building a fantasy: an imagined reality and not a true one. Similarly if we base our actions on belief rather knowledge we are setting ourselves up to fail. The key is logical planned action. And once you set out on your path remember that it takes energy; productive energy. Don’t waste that energy worrying about the consequences when you can simply set the goal and take simple positive action. Direction is everything. With any ambition or dream, it’s important to count the cost involved in advancing, without prejudice. Understand your mission, potential obstacles, have a plan for them, and know what direction you’re going. Understand WHAT you are doing and WHY. It might take time and mental strength, but if you are willing to focus on your goals, are willing to be intellectually honest from the outset, make a logical plan and just take one step at a time, then you have a greater chance of success. And don’t take short cuts. You’ll have to work hard and you’ll have to be mentally strong and focussed. If you can do those things, then you will understand the secret of success.
