The First Time

The first time for everything is the hardest and the most strenuous part of any skill.  It is a process we all have to confront if we want to do something well.  For instance, if you want to have good people skills, you have to get out there and expose yourself to social settings rather than sitting at home and play in front of the computer.  We have to remember that the first time of anything is the hardest and it's the stage we have to go through no matter how embarrassed we are at first and how fidgety we get when we are in it.

There are many things we have to remember in order to get through the-first-time stage of anything:

1.  We need to acknowledge that we will make mistakes and know it is perfectly typical.

2.We need to check our motivation.  Keep in mind of the reason why we are doing this and how important it is to us.

2.  We need to have confidence; be aware that sometimes you don't have the confidence so the best option is to just do it.

One thing I learned over the years is that we do get used to something when we keep doing it.  Time is generally on our side when it comes to learning, when we keep practicing, no matter how much we fall and make mistakes, we will get it, it will click no matter what.  Why? The brain is wired to learn and it will get it.  So go out there and take advantage of any opportunities that will better us as a person.
