I love awards season. The Grammys. The Golden Globes. The Tonys and the Oscars. The dresses, the glamor, the performances, and the drama! It’s a celebration of art, talent, culture, and all that is entertainment packaged together in an entertaining Sunday night.
Award shows also give us a peek into the lives of the über rich and famous and for many of us, it might seem like watching them on television might be as close as we will ever get to that caliber of recognition
But let me tell you a secret. Just like some of those tabloids say, the stars really are just like us. You might not realize it but there’s tape holding their dresses together. They spent hours having their hair/makeup/nails done. They didn’t just wake up like that, well, maybe Beyonce did, but most of us take time to become that polished and perfected version of ourselves.
So, who’s to say that if they are like us, we can’t be like them?
Close your eyes and dream for a moment. What version of you would you like to walk down the red carpet? What dream have you been holding on to but can’t seem to get off the ground because of money or people or circumstances holding you back?
Don’t let them.
I know, I know, easier said than done. But that’s where having someone like Laura Doughty and the work we do at Live Excellence walk alongside you on that red carpet will make each of those baby steps turn into confident strides. That’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. We help you realize your dreams and make them a red carpet reality.
In the end, you might not be handed a golden statue, but you will be handed something so much more: the opportunity to discover the best version of yourself and what to do with that. So practice your skinny arm pose, that stellar paparazzi smile, and get your acceptance speech ready. While you might not win an official award, you will find acceptance—of yourself!
