Arthur Murray Was A Wallflower?

Arthur Murray is the most successful dance instructor in history.

But he didn't start out confident or smooth.

As a child Murray was shy and self-conscious about his tall, lanky appearance.

He wanted to be part of the social activities his friends enjoyed, especially the dances, but he was afraid to approach girls.

At 14, Joe Feigenbaum, a friend who was popular with girls, taught Arthur his first dance steps. 

To get practice, Murray attended weddings where he found willing dance partners of every size and age. 

Later he attended dance schools, teaching new crazes as the bunny hug, grizzly bear, and the one-step.

There are now hundreds of Arthur Murray studios globally, with specially trained instructors.

I love Murray's story for two reasons.

First, Murray lived by his values.

Friendship.

Fun.

Love.

Murray was painfully shy, but he didn't let that get in the way of what he prized most.

A lot of people want to overcome fears that are holding them back. 

The problem is, they haven't clarified their values.

They don't know what really matters to them.

They don't know what they really stand for - what they live for, and what they would die for.

When the fear rises up, they don't have something strong to counteract it.

So they make bad decisions.

They do nothing or they act impulsively.

Second, Murray asked for help.

He went to someone he admired and became a student.

Now this is REALLY rare.

Most people would rather be boiled alive in oil than approach a successful person and ask for help.

Yet here's the strange thing.

If someone approaches YOU for help, how do you feel about him?

Good or bad?

My guess is good.

Most people love to help others.

Now here's the irony.

Most people don't ask for help because they want to appear on-the-ball. "I've got this handled."

My friend, I've got news for you.

You're not fooling anyone.

The people in your life know about your problem.

Whether you're struggling with money, relationships, or career, the people around you know this.

That's why you're better off putting your energy into solving your problem - not covering it up.

And that means asking for help.
