This is what I've learned in 3 years of my Dancing career (Including Zumba)

-I started my career as a Zumba trainer at the age of 18. I was young and timid, but a confident child, maybe? 

-Not everyone will want to see you grow and they'd try their best to put you down.

-They ask for help, ask for ideas and without you knowing, they do not even bother to give credentials.

-I've come across people:
--who wanted to physically 'use me'.
-- who through my Zumba contacts, internally built in their contacts.

-I could've either taken it positively or negatively. I chose to be positive.

-I chose to be honest, focused, and faithful to myself. I cried, I locked myself in a room, I asked for help, and am glad I got all the support that I required.

-I never cursed them, I praised them, wished them luck, and moved ahead.

-I was fortunate enough, I repeat, 'fortunate enough', to come across such people who in turn made me more confident. I woke up even stronger and I worked even harder.

- Come what may, If something's meant for you, the universe will conspire to make it happen.
