Andyes, I havesaidthosethings, too, buttoday I wannatalkaboutthepowerofgoinginwhatcanoftenfeelliketheoppositedirection--I wannatalkaboutthepoweroffollowingyourfear.
I'm nottalkingaboutfollowingyourveryusefulfearofbigmovingvehiclesandwalkinginfrontof a bus, noram I talkingaboutdoinganythingstupidorirresponsiblethatcouldruinyoufinancially.
Now, since I livedinNewYorkCity I knewthattheplace I hadtogowasBroadwayDanceCenter, whichisintenseandit's filledwiththeworld's bestprofessionaldancers.
I wasthinking: "I amwaytoooldforthis. I amsonotcoolenough. And I'm justgonnabethereandannoyalltheotherpeopleinclasswhoareactuallyrealdancersandthey'regonnawonderwhyam I takinguptheirspace?"
So I took a deepbreath, I signedupfor a class, and I wentforit. And I showedupinmycrappylittleoutfitand I wentstraighttothebackoftheroomandtriedashardas I couldtobeinvisible.
Andletmetellyouthis, themomentthatmusiccameonandwestarteddoingthewarmup, I startedtocry. Notbecause I wasembarrassedorbecause I couldn't keepup, butbecause I finallyfeltlike I washome.
Now, intermsofdance I wentontocreateandchoreograph, like, 4 fitnessvideosand I choreographedforMTVand I traveledaroundtheworldas a Nikeelitedanceathlete.
Butmorethanthat, followingmyfearthattimetrainedmetokeepfollowingmyfear, which I stilldoon a regularbasis.
