What an amazing girl . I love watching people who are really passionate what they doing and are so dedicated to that thing . Nothing else can give the same feeling you get from doing it . In the documentary you fallow her life from her childhood till she is standing at the Olympics . She shows that everything is possible if you just stay true to yourself and never stop working for it . Big athletes and artist will have their down but that’s the moment you need to remember why you doing it . It;s because you love it and the feeling you get from doing it is magical . If you don’t have the passionate for it you should not do it . Because as long as you keep that passion fire burning you will get closer to your goals and you will make it , no matter what everyone else says . Don’t break down if you fall . Just stand up again , learn from your mistakes and keep going and work hard !Because if you keep focusing on negative things they might come true. So don’t think about all the break downs you had or make you scared for all the negative things that can happen . Because if you keep on thinking about that instead of what you doing to move forward, the negative thing will come so much closer than the goal .
The movie describes the exact feeling I feel for my dancing . I never thought I could have such a big dream as I have ,when I took my first dance class .A dream so big that it can eat me alive if it doesn’t come true . But I know it wont eat me up because I will never give up . This dream wont go away its only going to get stronger and bigger . Reach for the moon and you will at least reach the stars . I believe in this dream so much and now its time to make everyone else believe it by working harder , show my passion and get better for each day .
Its not just luck that make dreams come true . Its something else that will make you reach that level you want too see yourself at . And that is called dedication and faith .
The first step you need to take too reach that level is to believe that you can . And the second step is to show everyone else . But remember ! Each steps take time . Don't stress because then injuries and negative things can show up in the picture you working so hard for to be done with . Gabby's coach said a smart thing in this documentary that I will carry with me in my mind when I am working every day to become a better and stronger dancer. He said :
Don't stress , Don't force your body to do thing that you already know . Because if you think to much about it your body will not trust itself and you will struggle . Just let your body do it without over think it .
That’s one of my biggest problem . I like to over think everything I do . And that can make me mess up a whole combo at a class because I don't let my body just do it and feel it . So I am going to keep those words in my mind . And another thing that her mother said : Today should always be better than yesterday . I will write that on the whiteboard we have in out apartment . So every morning when I wake up to eat breakfast I will be reminded about what I am doing , what I need to do and that I will take new steps to my goal every day .
