So the next time you feel a little green-eyed or left behind, channel your inner Fleur East. Admit it’s a bummer. Laugh about it. Then, look for the next sparkle on the horizon. Life is too short to be the person who sulks in the corner while the music is playing.
Fleur’s honesty made her more likeable, more human, and—dare we say it—more inspiring than if she’d landed the gig right away. Because real inspiration isn’t about perfect wins; it’s about graceful losses that teach us how to boogie through the tough times.
Now, go ahead and do what Fleur would do: put on your favorite song, maybe have a little laugh about your own recent letdown, and move your feet. Because the show—your show—is just getting started.
