Life Lessons..part 1

When i decided about three years ago to learn how to crochet, i never thought that i would learn so many things about life. That wasnt my goal. My only goal was to learn a new hobby that i could do during all this "free time" i have since being on disability.

The first major lesson i learned was to never give up but always keep trying. If you are determined to do something and you keep trying inspite your mistakes and failures...you will eventually accomplish it. I know that this isn't something profound, and we probably all already know it. When i first started learning how to crochet i was so excited abotu my new found hobby. I actually thought it would be a piece of cake and i would have no trouble learning. Well after a month, my excitement quickly turned into confusion and frustration. I felt like i would never figure it out. Then i stopped for awhile and picked it up again later. This time i was determined to learn and so eventually i did.

There are times in life when we're faced with a challenging situation. Maybe at first we're encouraged and feel strong enough to face it and fight through it. But then nothing seems to be happening or maybe our attempts don't work..or maybe the situation just drags on. And that's when we eget so frustated that we want to give up. Sometimes we just need a break from it ...a chance to catch our breath or get a second wind. Maybe we need sometime to step back and get a different view of it, and refocus. Once we're refocused, we can take it on again...and this time we can accomplish it.
