After volunteering my time to teach a Zumba class to my local Mops group I found myself in awe. I was in awe of the beauty of like minded women coming together to support each other, take time for themselves and step outside of their environment as they figure out this incredible task called motherhood.
We had such a wonderful time tonight! The room was full of sweaty happy faces, laughter and pride! They worked hard, they had fun, they tried something new! They are amazing! not everyone has the ganas to try something new, especially something like Zumba.
Before we began our Zumba class I spoke to the group a little bit about something I am very passionate about! You see, my story the last 10 years has involved a lot of conferences, personal development and trainings focused on loving yourself, setting goals and achieving success. I do not consider myself an expert but I do consider myself aware of what I control in life and what I don’t. I know that if I do not see the beauty in myself others won’t either. If I do not strive for my dreams and goals they will never happen and my children will never learn how to either. If I do not set goals and work towards them, taking control of my future then life will take over and my dreams will turn into “I wish I would have”….
Our age, race, job or marital status do not define who we are…it is our dreams, our happiness and what we do with our life that defines us. The internal piece of ourselves is what makes the world go. The world is full of so many categories that we feel like we have to fit into this one or that, but the reality is we don’t. We just have to fit into our own skin. That’s it, we just have to be ourselves and love ourselves. Find your strengths, your passions and joy then put them to work to start creating the life you always dreamed of. We all have the same amount of time each day to do what we need and want to do to have the life we want and deserve.
Ive said this before and I’m going to say it again…if we do not reach for the stars and dream the impossible is possible. If we do not look in the mirror and love who we see inside and out. If we do not see the joy in life then how can we expect our children to do so. They model us, they register into their thinking and believing system what we teach them with our words and especially our actions. We are their guiding lights and they need us to love ourselves and go for it…so they can believe they can do it to!
