I Did A Thing!

I was teaching class, and one of my students made a comment about how I move between transitions. She said, “You ripple from one move to the next. It’s like every movement is super intentional and perfectly timed. You make it look so effortless. How long did it take to nail those small details? A month? A year? A decade?”

I replied, “Holy sh*t, thank you! That’s exactly what I hope people notice. But to answer your question – it took as long as it took.”

That got me thinking…

We live in a world that’s so impatient.

We send an email and expect a response right away. (Yep, that’s me!)

We set big goals and get annoyed when it takes more than a week or two to see progress. (Also me!)

We want results, like, yesterday with little to no effort. I mean, seriously, don’t we all?

But we know that’s not how it works.

For me, whether it’s being a business owner, dancer, mentor, or mom, I’m constantly reminded that behind every win there are sore muscles, trashed first drafts, moments of doubt, and lots of patience and commitment. It’s about doing the thing, over and over, until you reach your goal.

So after that chat with my student, it hit me – I did the thing – even if it only took 20+ years to make it look effortless.

Now, here’s my question for you: how long are you willing to work on your thing to reach your goal? And more importantly, who’s going to be with you along the way?

We’d love to have you work on your thing with us in the SharQui community. Come dance, sweat, and have fun with us in our SharQui Virtual Studio and/or come grow, instructor and inspire with us inside our Instructor Academy

You don’t have to do it alone!
