I have officially passed through the rainbow colors to my brown-belt! This is truly exciting for me.
Right as I was putting the belt on at the end of testing, I got all choked up. This belt signifies that I can do things that seem impossible---things that are out of my norm.
I have been thinking lately of being passive versus being active. My tendency is towards passivity and I have read that passive people make fewer mistakes, but they also learn fewer lessons because they don't try new things. I want to start making some serious changes in this tendency and starting going for it!
There are tons of things I want to try, but don't because I am sure I can't do it. The skills required seem out of my grasp. Maybe the skills are far off from my present ability, but can't I grow and learn and change?
Yes!
A can!
And so can you!
My next stop is photography. As soon as I get the money I am buying Photoshop Elements. It is overwhelming to think of all the new things I will have to learn, but I can do it. I even have a friend who has offered me some lessons in using it. As soon as I start up, I will let you all know.
What about you? Is there something you would love to do, but haven't tried? What is holding you back?
