Learning Takes Time

                               Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. 
                                                                                                                              Chinese Proverb
 This was the perfect quote for me to find today.  Lately, I seem to be in such a hurry to learn all types of things.  Learning something new is wonderful but I want to learn quickly and for everything to be perfect the first time.  Well, that is not how my world works and I need to accept that.  It takes time to learn something new and I definitely am not going to be perfect especially not the first time I do something but probably never.  I used to do things at a much slower pace and I know I actually enjoyed things a lot more when I took my time and enjoyed the process or the journey.  So I am going to remind myself of the Chinese Proverb quoted above and not stand still but grow slowly.  When I get in a hurry I am going to stop, take a deep breath, and think of the picture above.  Do you do something special to help you to remember to slow down and enjoy whatever you are doing?  I would love to know what helps you.

I love the proverb you share. Currently I'm unable to really slow down and just enjoy what I'm doing.

Ginny,

This is a GREAT quote for me. I am so impatient about learning new things. I want to jump right in (and usually do), but when I do, I often find the water is deeper than I expected.

Thanks for sharing this today:~)

Ooops! This comment above was meant for the wishcasting wednesday post. I always do that here - so sorry. I get confused over the 'comment' button 'cause I'm used to seeing it at the bottom of a post. XO
