Strong? Skinny? Rich? Powerful? Talented? Most of you that read this blog know
that I am a Zumba fanatic and that I reallllllllllllllllly love it. This week,
my friend Kristel, who is a Zumba instructor and in super fabulous shape, asked
me if I would substitute for her classes while she took a well deserved break.
I said I would because this woman does it all all the time and if she needs a
break, I am happy to help her with that. But since saying yes, all of these
scary scenarios keep running through my head and all of these excuses of why I
couldn't do it. They just pop in there and try to sabatoge the joy and honor of getting to
help a friend and try something new. Why in the world would I want to sabatoge
myself by putting all of this negative garbage out there? Why would I set my
frequency to failure when I could set it to success. Not just success for
myself, but for my friend and for the others that will participate in the Zumba
classes. There are always excuses as to why we feel we cannot do or accomplish
something. But those excuses, if we keep spouting them off, will become our
truth. They will become our reality. I want my reality to be filled with
success, happiness, love and the ability to thrive and help others thrive. I do
not want to make excuses. I may or may not mess up, I'm definately not perfect.
But messing up and making mistakes is a part of life and we learn and we adjust
and we go forward. There are plenty of successful people who experienced a lot
of painful mistakes and setbacks before they reached their successes. Everyday
though, you have a success, you live an experience that could have gone one of
two ways. You can focus on it going in a negative direction and watch while
your life goes down that path and you sit in the filth of despair or you can
focus on your desired successes and watch while the path is forged and you
become everything you know you can be and more. Each and every person has it in
them to decide what they want. We all choose a path. I can sit with the words
"I am not good enough," or I can push through those feelings and loudly declare,
"I CAN do this and I WILL!"
