First Times Are Scary

The first time to do anything is scary.  The first roller coaster ride, the first time at bat, first piano recital, the first taste of broccoli, the first time to sing Jingle Bells in front of adults [smile].  

Every stage and every area of life has firsts ~ whether the beginning, middle or nearing the end of life, whether in the professional, personal or spiritual arena ~ there's something new to learn or experience.  Every day is a serious of firsts.

2014 promises to be chock-full of firsts for me and personally, I'd prefer to hibernate neath the comfort of my warm blanket.  In fact, I find facing firsts to be rather frightening.  But in the words of wellness guru Deepak Chopra, "Either you will make the right decision, or if something goes wrong, you will learn from your mistakes and march forward to make better decisions in the future.  This is the attitude that all highly successful people adopt." 

So sit up, suit up and step up to the challenges you face.  Just knowing you're alongside will give me courage to peep from beneath my covers and maybe together, 2014 won't be so scary.
