My day...

Like I've said before, I'm not a very good writer. I really need to go back and take a writing or English class. It was not a favorite subject of mine and you can probably tell just by reading my blog. But it's okay, it's not going to stop me from trying to blog.

I was wondering what I could blog about today, wondering if I had something informative or fun to share. I don't have anything informative or fun to share. Instead,I have random thoughts/feelings I could share. I know, boring huh? Sorry, but I'm trying to post something every day.

A few days ago, okay Wednesday to be exact, after I taught my Zumba class I checked my FB account and saw a status posted by one of the girls that came to my early morning class. It was her first time at my class and although we are FB friends, I really don't know her that well. (I know, you're probably wondering, 'okay, so why are you friends on FB?' That itself is another post - FB and random friends.) Her status read something to the effect of 'ghetto Zumba but she got a great work out'. Okay confusing. I didn't know how to take it and to be quite honest, it made me feel down on myself. I mentioned this to my sister and she said, "you know, not everyone will like your teaching style and will make comments...don't let it get to you, she did say she got a good work out". She also said, "and you know, you make it what it is".

As much as I try to be positive all the time, I'm just like everyone else - only human. I have those days or moments when I feel like a failure and can not do anything right. Wednesday was definitely one of those days. After the pep talk from her, I started to feel better about it. Felt even more determined to do better and be better (at being a Zumba instructor). So what happened? Took it out on the class the next morning. I wanted to make sure they went home getting a good workout and wanted to make sure they felt it.

Guess what? She came again to class the following morning. No worries, I didn't get all dramatic and make a scene. Instead just did my best and if it wasn't good enough for her, oh well I tried.

I have to add, I have an audition on Monday. Yes, Zumba instructors have to audition too. I'm auditioning at one of the city facilities. I'm excited, but very nervous. People are so picky and particular with their Zumba. I know because I am like that. Well regardless of the outcome, I will try and do my best. If it doesn't work out, it's okay. I'm sure other opportunities will come up.

Like my sister said, "you make it what it is". We make life what it is. Dwell on the bad or move on, LIVE and enjoy it. And another thought that came to mind from one of Tyler Perry's movies, "are you existing or living?".

On a different note, I know this video is talking about a different situation, but part of the lyrics stand out to me, "I'm only human, of flesh and blood I'm made, human, born to make mistakes". Enjoy the old school video!
