FEATURE ARTICLE 

 

Lesson of Humility

 

I would like to share this life lesson of humility!

The TV show "Lifetime Moments" taped me and my family this weekend. It is supposed to air in the fall line-up of shows. It will be on NBC in the daytime and I'll let you know when it is scheduled to air.

This show features strong women having lifetime moments. For those of you who don't know my side interest outside of coaching, I am a competitive ballroom and Latin dancer with Arthur Murray Dance Studios.

"Lifetime Moments" filmed the Dance Showcase I did this weekend. About 300 people were in attendance. Very high caliber Show Case. This was not for placement, only judge critique. 

All was great until doing my Samba solo. I turned around and the camera man was on the floor next to my partner and I, with the camera in my face. I got spooked and I lost my concentration.


I didn't do my best. The people watching didn't think anything of it as I had great recovery, but that didn't matter, as I was very disappointed in myself.

Moments later there was a Team Challenge Dance Contest. I was chosen to be the competing dancer for our dance studio in a Team Challenge competing with the other 6 dance studios represented at the Show Case. I won the Team Challenge Dance Contest for our studio. 

The hitch to my point.......No matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you want something ... life happens! We do have control as to how we respond or react. In a spit second I realized I had 2 choices: (1) I could react and blame the camera man then demand a "take over" of the dance. That was not an option! Or (2) I could "shift" in the moment and respond by doing the best I can in the remaining minute and a half left of the dance. Which I chose to do.


The judge noticed the blip in the dance and gave me a glowing critique around my attitude on how well I recovered. 

I did have tears around, "I worked so hard on this dance. I have won gold medal with honors with it just 2 weeks ago" and Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. Yet, What a life lesson!!!! So what, now what! And came back to win.

My life lesson. You never stop learning. You just keep getting challenged at higher levels. 
So what, now what!

Where do you have obstacles you are reacting to with blame, suffering or resistance? Where do you need to say, So What, now What? And shift to get what you want and WIN rather then suffer and blame? Anyone can win and is worthy of winning. It's up to you! Suffering is optional!!!!!

 

You have only one moment in life and that moment is NOW!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery.

There are NO dress rehearsals.

It's a part of life that "stuff" happens.

Grab your moment and make the best of it NOW!

And remember that "Suffering is optional!"
