Set backs, limitations, barricades.
Call them what you will, they suck either way.
Why is it that they always seem to come when things are at its best? Right when dance is going so great, my ankle starts to hurt. Again. For those of you who do not know my ankle history, here is the short version: I have tendinitis in my left ankle in the lateral tendon. It began last November and was really bad up until about February of last year.
The hardest part about my personal limitation, is that it is holding me back from doing my best at what I love. Dance is my life and my way of expressing my self, and when my ankle hurts it takes my mind off of my dancing. For any limitation, whether it be mental or physical, there is always a way to over come them. Never underestimate the power of a positive mental attitude. (PMA, something I learned about in 6th grade thanks to "the Math God") You have more power than you know. Use it.
The important thing to remember is that any limitation can be over come. They suck while they are happening, but they will one day come to an end. While you're in the process of overcoming your limitation, you must remember that you are not in control of what is going on. Just like you can't control the weather, you can't control what happens to your body. The only thing you can do is remain positive, participate in things that take your mind off of it, and then surround yourself with people who will be there to send you love and support.
Never look back on the MOMENT when it happened or began, look forward to the MOMENT when things will all go back to normal. Look forward to when there will be nothing holding you back.
