Overcome Defeat and Failure – Astaire and Rogers

Overcoming Defeat and Failure – Astaire and Rogers

A light hearted Hollywood approach to overcoming defeat and failure by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the movie “Swingtime” (1936)

The song was written for the film Swing Time (1936), where it was introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Ginger plays a dance instructor whom Fred follows into her studio; he pretends to have two left feet in order to get her to dance with him. Fred sings the verse to her and she responds with the chorus. After an interlude, they dance to the tune. (Author John Mueller has written their dance “is one of the very greatest of Astaire’s playful duets: boundlessly joyous, endlessly re-seeable.”) Source: Wikipedia

Pick Yourself Up

“Pick Yourself Up”
music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields
FRED:

Please teacher, teach me something.
Nice teacher, teach me something.
I’m as awkward as a camel.
That’s not the worst.
My two feet haven’t met yet.
But I’ll be teacher’s pet yet,
‘Cause I’m going to learn to dance or burst.

GINGER:

Nothing’s impossible, I have found.
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up, dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don’t lose your confidence if you slip.
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up; dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
‘Til the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you’ll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again.
So take a deep breath;
Pick yourself up;
Dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

FRED:

I’ll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I’ll learn by easy stages
If you’re courageous and wait.

To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang onto your hand.
Maybe by the time I’m fifty,
I’ll get up and do a nifty.

(dance and dialogue)

Pick yourself up; dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

(dance and dialogue)

After pretending to not know how to dance, Astaire redeems himself and saves Ginger’s job as a dancing instructor in this followup scene:

T Harv Eker – Go For Your Big Dreams!

T Harv Eker – Go For Your Big Dreams!

Remember when you were a kid and felt you could set the world on fire? Millionaire? Sure. Hollywood star? Of course! Astronaut? Easy. Best-selling author? No problem. World traveler? Start packing.

So what happened? Where are you now? Are you living the life you thought you’d lead? Unfortunately, life has a way of knocking the stuffing out of our highest hopes and biggest dreams…if we let it! Most people have lost the sparkle in their eye and the fire in their heart. They’ve lost their passion and allowed their lives to become a faint glimmer of the vibrant vision they once had for themselves. They’ve committed the great sin of the spirit and settled for a life of mediocrity.

The main reason most of us lose our dreams is not because our desire has waned, but because of fear. “I don’t have the money, I don’t have the time, it’s too late, I don’t know for sure if I can do it.” All of these reasons are nothing but the excuses of a fear and lack based protective mind. There is a saying in life, that we either have “reasons or results.”

It’s time to take back your power; time to think big once again; time to rekindle your greatest dreams. Dreams that excite you, dreams that impassion you, dreams that force you to break the bonds of “mediocrity”; reach your fullest potential and become the “ultimate you.”

EXERCISE:
Today, list the big dreams you had from the past or invent exciting new ones! Come from power versus fear. Start thinking about what you “can” do instead of what you “can’t” do. Commit, then focus on one step at a time and begin immediately!

Declaration:
I consistently take action on my big dreams.
