Dancing on Ice - what's not to love?

1) The supportive sounds from the audience - Todd Carty's staying upright in spite of shakiness seemed to bring the house down! Imagine if you had that kind of support in your life?

2) Before and after elements - they're unable to stay upright, sweaty, feeling hopeless, dishevelled and unmade up in the video clips but then glide on looking glamourous and able to do anything on the night.

3) Their courage - I'd never heard of Michael Underwood but when he cried, I cried (just a little!). To recover from the trauma of a bad fall and injury and go back out there...

4) ... As Michael's professional skater partner Melanie Lambert said, "Basically, in skating, you have to fall. That's how we learn."

How can you use these men and women as inspiration to reach your own life goals?

Didn't get the last job / promotion you wanted? What can you learn from the experience? How can you do better next time?

Pretend the world is your ice rink. Are you going to hold onto the edges and never let go or start taking some risks and possibly fly?
