Even if you don't follow what
goes on in the world of ballet, you've heard of Misty Copeland. I ran across an
article in Elle Magazine titled
" Proof That Misty Copeland Is the Most Badass Ballerina." (The link
for the article is at the bottom of this post.) I noticed in the article, there
was a copy of one of the rejection letters she received on her dream catching
journey. That struck me as so significant as I was reminded to keep record of
my small beginnings: from my current work space that I'll just simply call
"The Design Studio" to my first fashion show, and even the
rejections! When you start seeing your own progress regardless of how big or
small, it does something for your confidence in what you have to offer. Keeping
record of your journey is not just for your inspiration, but to inspire someone
else. I wonder what Misty thought when she was reading that she was "too
old" to follow her ballerina dreams. She may have been sad, she may have
had thoughts of "f...this", but she had enough stamina within her to keep
the letter ...as motivation and to keep dancing. Next time you receive a
denial, don't throw it out. Add that to your "Progress File." You'll
need it later for the next "Badass" article featuring YOU.
