Options

Jennifred Jones

It’s my life and I have options!  Many options!!

Do I want to learn how to:

  • cook
  • sew
  • refinish furniture
  • paint a room
  • carve wood
  • farm
  • raise chickens
  • milk a cow
  • ride a bike
  • become a barista
  • teach a class

You can! Nothing holding you back but yourself! We have libraries filled with books, free online classes and videos…I love using google and YouTube. We have friends, family and neighbors to learn from.

Why shouldn’t I learn more about what interests me? It’s not selfish. You already have an inkling that direction which means you’d be a quick learner. You could excel at it and then pass those skills to help someone else who wants to learn the same thing.

Doors will open as you step forward and you’ll be surprised where you could go with your new options!

Get up, get out and begin today!

Afraid to Try…

Jennifred Jones

How many of us are afraid to try…

To try what? Anything! Anything different you’ve not done before or aren’t familiar with.

New furniture arrangement, new color, new style outfit, new food, new activity.

New learning, new language, new computer program, new online class, new friend, new coffee shop.

Why?

Fear of:

  • Failure
  • It’s too hard
  • What if I don’t like it?
  • Might be a waste of time
  • It might make things worse
  • I might forget how I did it and it wouldn’t happen again
  • What if I succeeded? How would I move forward
  • What if somebody thinks what I am interested in is dumb

We could fight these fears in everything we do, but we don’t. It seems there are certain things that alarm us. If we can figure out what the problem is, we can deal with it and move ahead.

Let’s not be afraid to stop and think about what’s causing us to be fearful so we can excel in life.

What is one holdup area in my life and why is it there?

What am I going to do about it?
