Big Dreams

Worlds.

Ever since I have started Irish dancing, I have wanted to compete at the world championships more than anything. Not necessarily to place. I just want to attend! I want to have the opportunity to be considered one of the best and compete against the best. I want my hard work to pay off and to have the chance to face the ultimate challenge.

That being said, LOTS of time and effort has to go into reaching this goal. My desire has never waned, but my efforts over the past few years certainly have. I'll tell you what, it is difficult to find enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you would like to do! Kinda blows. I know everyone is in that boat though, so I know I'm not alone in that.

I'm going to attend the regional championships in three weeks. . . (YAY!!!). . . so that is a huge step towards my dream. My problem all along has been that my efforts have not quite matched up to my desire to go. I didn't realize that was the issue, but something needed to change.

So from this week forward I will be going to bed by 11p.m to be able to make it to the studio by 7a.m every morning until regionals. Not because I'm crazy, but because to be the best you have to practice like the best. By doing this, I will be adding in a whole other practice session each day. That is huge! It's time to dream big and practice big.
