Extremely two faced.

This morning whilst in Zumba class a situation arose that had me conflicted for the entire class and all I could think was I have got to get this out of my head.  I found myself debating two sides of the same situation and not having a strong opinion either way so I will start by being extremely positive and end with being extremely negative and then let's all discuss...sound fun?  K.

Positive:
A woman came to Zumba this morning and my typical instructor allowed this woman to teach one song.  She was able to get up there and stand in front of an entire class and get through the song without any mistakes.  I say yay to her for stepping out of her comfort zone and trying something new and not messing up!

Negative:
I go to a Zumba class that is considered advanced.  The teacher is fantastic and she is extremely physically fit.  A specimen that you strive to be.  She is able to inspire you throughout the entire workout by yelling encouraging tidbits and flashing a smile.  I look forward to her class every time I can get there.  So imagine my surprise when this older woman who was not quite the physical specimen that inspires a class comes in late toting her two children.  She was wearing her hair in a style that is at least 20 years too young for her and then half way through the class my perfection of a teacher turns the class over to this woman.  The only word out of her mouth was at the start of the routine and it was Whoo.  There was no instruction or encouragement.  I assume she was training to be a Zumba instructor and you have to teach a class in order to get your certification but there was not really any instruction there so I'm not sure what was going on.  Just because you like Zumba does not necessarily mean you are cut out to be an instructor.  It takes a special kind of person to lead a class of sweaty women for an hour.

I realize how very mean I must sound but I guess my point is we were all put on this planet to do something.  If you find something you enjoy and you are good at then by all means grab that and go, but if the only reason you are doing something is because everyone else is doing it and you want to be like everyone else...Stop it.

You are fantastic just the way you are.  You can make fantastic cupcakes or you can mow a lawn like nobody's business.  Whatever you do do it well, but don't try to be something you're not.  There is nothing wrong with you!  Find something you love and do it well.  Pretty soon people will be jealous of you and they will be copying you.

I guess my thought for the day is either Stick to what you know or Whoo!

That and there should really be an age limit to pig tails.
