When you are doing things for the first time, things take longer to get done. However, once you have gone through that initial hurdle, things become a lot easier.
I am sure you have experienced this when you first used ‘simple’ things like a scanner, or blackberry, iPod or iPad, Skype or webinar. However, once you figure it out and do it once, all the anxiety disappears.
Life is similar. When you have overcome challenges year in and year out they become less unsettling. You begin to somewhat thrive on them and at times you get your best work out during those ‘crises’.

Now, I will enjoy the ‘first time anxities’ – they are not stumbling blocks but stepping stones 🙂
I like the way you have connected the routine like learning your way through skype, webinars, etc. to dealing with challenges….. yes, one could learn to shift ones attitude towards everyday challenges from those of complain to a ‘stepping stone’ to growth. This thought is enough to change the panoramic view of life- adding vibrancy and pro-active approach to everything 🙂
Thank you for your thougts, it has helped me in one of the ‘stuck’ moment in life. I am going through a personal challenge, but reading this has helped me shift my perception.
