Epic fail

So tonight i went to my kickboxing class which i enjoy a lot !. I took Kacie with me because i felt it would be something fun to try that we could do together. Now let me give you some background information on kacie, she is 11 years old she has a anxiety disorder and was just diagnosed with aspergers. So I take her hoping she would come out of her shell and try something new, but she wouldn't  even try she kept giving me excuses I hate excuses !!!! first she said she couldn't breath but she was breathing just fine. Then it was because everyone was bigger then her then she was uncomfortable no matter what I said she wouldn't even try she did the warm up and never even tried . I admit it made me mad very mad, she could have said i need a break or i am having a hard time or whatever but what she said was "i can't". How does she know she can't ? she never tried. I would have given her any option if she had of tried there is nothing worse in this world than not believing in youself, selling yourself short never helps you improve. I just wish she would have tried. I don't know how to teach self esteem but i think kick boxing would be great start for her, for anyone who wants to get exercise and confidence kickboxing is wonderful. So to make a long story short she will be going back (thats the bitch in me lol) and she will try it and if she doesn't like it then she doesn't have to go back. I don't want her to have regrets but at the same time i don't want her just give up because i nag to much so it is a fine line. I do not want her to wake up one day at 39 and say why didn't I, i should have, i wish i did. I want different things for my kids i don't want them to make the mistakes i made. The moral of this story! don't give up on yourself, do not sell yourself short and do not say you can't without trying it first. Most of all live each day like it may be your last live without regret.
