Dancing has never been my forte. And #dancerpose or #natarajasana is the closest thing to dancing that I can do well.

I recently rewatched the “guy dancing on his own starts a dance party.” A guy doing strange moves, dancing on his own. There were people around him but some laughed and some were hesitant to join. About a min or two later, one person joined him. Still most people were still unmoved. Then another minute passed, another person joined. And gradually more and more people joined. In the end, over 100 people joined the dance that they were doubtful of.

This has actually become a famous psychological case study. The person who started the dance (trend or movement) has this persistence in him. But the second and even the third persons also played an important role in success of this dance and subsequently a party. They show to the world that it is ok to do something different, strange and silly.

If you’re starting a new job/life/movement/trend, it can be a very lonely and self-doubting experience. You probably get no support or recognition from anyone. But through #lawofattraction you would get a few musketeers by your side and if your persevere, a new trend or career is born.

That was me - the guy dancing crazy moves - when I decided to leave my old PR job and started teaching yoga full time 10
Years ago. It wasn’t easy and luckily I did get a lot of help from lots of kind hearted people, and I wasn’t afraid to ask for help. One thing i didn’t do was to give up. And today, I’m glad I never gave up when I hit a brick wall.

What is your story of persevering against all odds? And what have you learned?
