The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think. You can do anything you want, even if you are being told negative things. Stay strong and find motivation.
- Misty Copeland
Misty Copeland took a unconventional route to become the esteemed Principal Dancer / Prima Ballerina.
First off, she is the first African American dancer to be promoted to this role.
Second, she started studying ballet at the old age of 13. Most professional ballerinas start dancing at the age of 7.
Third, she faced harsh criticism and racism to rise up through the ranks to become world class and a Prima Ballerina.
She is a reminder that if you have a dream and a passion for something, don’t be afraid to try. Silence the critics by just doing it for you!
