took place in my life is something that I am forever grateful for
because it allowed me to see things in different ways, experience
things with a unique outlook and live every decision and
consequence thereof to the fullest.
Perfection seems to be your middle now? Is there a
secret to your success?
As much as we would all like to wish there was a shortcut
or secret to success, I’ve also learned that succeeding and
achieving in your goals and everything that you do comes
with ONLY HARD WORK. When you have passion, drive and
determination in every endeavor you set for yourself in life,
combined with talent, skill and extremely hard work you can
achieve anything that you aim to achieve. Whenever you lose
focus of your goals and feel unmotivated, remind yourself what
it was that made you strive for it in the first place. If you still
want it that badly, half of the work is done and the rest will feel
like it is not work at all. Personally it is also very important for
me that, whenever I set out to pursue goals I set for myself, to
take a moment and think about what it may be that is holding
me back from reaching those goals, weaknesses and threats
that are prohibiting me from reaching that potential. Set out to
annihilate those weaknesses and threats and get ready to pick
and enjoy the ‘fruits of your hard work!’
You seem to be married to dancing? Is there any time
for personal relationships?
I am yet to find the relationship formula that enables someone
in my position to have the time as well as love (greater than the
love for my craft), to make a personal relationship work. I have
and ALWAYS will believe in having a balanced lifestyle. It is a
very important thing to always make time for family, friendships
and social occasions in this industry. It is very easy to start
isolating yourself from ‘normality’ when you love what you do
as much as most performing artists do, and it happens to most
of us at some point in our careers. I was fortunate enough to
learn the unhealthy and negative impact in can have on you as
a person, very early on. A romantic relationship is a different
story, and can take a lot of sacrifice and compromise that
both people have to be willing to make. I have been in several
incredible relationships, the problems that have occurred in all
of them have had to do with a decision being made to further my
career, be it work or training.
What inspires and motivates you in your work and in life?
Unfortunately I don’t have the ‘appropriate sad tear jerking’
story, like certain people on reality television, to back up my
motivation i
