After we terrorize ourselves with self-doubt, our only relief is to get moving again.

Twyla Tharp

An acclaimed American dancer and choreographer, Twyla Tharp has overseen performances for Broadway musicals and national ballets around the world. She ran her own dance troupe for 25 years, choreographed alongside the legendary dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, and has won multiple awards for her work, including a MacArthur Fellowship (1992) and a National Medal of the Arts (2004). Her 2019 book, “Keep It Moving: Lessons for the Rest of Your Life,” urges readers to “get moving”— whether in the form of literal exercise or making decisions in their lives. With this quote, she encourages us to do exactly that, because taking action, even if only in a small way, gets us closer to our goals.
