So I am doing this web course once again and I stumbled upon small piece of text that made me cry.

It reads - "Do you still remember how you learned to ride a bicycle" And it then continues to speculate how it may have went.

That - As I started to think of it, made me cry.

Why?

Because, I realized that there is nothing I could not get if I want it much enough and if I have high enough motivation.

My bicycle story goes very vaguely something like this. -

I saw others Riding a bike, I saw my parents riding a bike, I even got to be behind bike, tied to a "baby seat" but most of all... my peers, older child's riding their bikes.

Chees I was so envious of them riding their bikes. I wanted to ride ones too. I really wanted. But at same time it was terribly difficult to even get on it, or to get it moving without me falling.

Those times I was tempted to quit

It is not going to work.

I cant do this.

I am not good enough.

Perhaps I lack in something.

That I am worse than all the others.

Now, I am sure you know the pattern of that - moment when you want to just give up. When you are afraid, unsure.

When you feel blame and guilt for falling, and falling.

Perhaps even when someone laughs at you.

And you just want to give up, quit it, stop it not to feel guilt, blame, failure of not succeeding like others do.

Then when you watch them ride, and your envy gets big enough, when you have your bike, perhaps your parents even buy you those little wheels to side or rear-wheel to help you learn.
Perhaps that is enough for you to get to move or maybe you choose to go on slope to get some momentum, or you are being pushed by your parent. Like I was pushed and kept straigh by my dad... tears come down Is a moment when you get the feeling, the belief that YOU CAN DO THIS

The moment when crowd of booying audience no longer affects you. When you know that you can do this. That you Believe on yourself. that you start to grow on your own for real.


No matter what you choose to learn to do. All you need is to find way to get yourself to believe on yourself. And truly there is nothing, nothing in the world that you could not achieve to learn over the time when you believe on yourself.

I have had this moment often and not so long ago it happened yet again. On work.

My mentor Risto, was there with me, like my dad was with me when I wanted to learn to ride a bicycle, just this time at work I wanted to learn to do better at work.

With calm patience he showed me how to, and I did after him. Thing at a time. Very basics to get into rythm and most of all to trust myself.

That same day, or days that he had been with me, I made my that time current record at work. Breaking old 4 year old one, but this time with ease, and calamity of mind. And I got my trust, my belief to myself that I can do this. Few days later I was struggling again, but week and half and I made an insane record of doing same that had previously taken me 10 hours, I did in just 6 hours. Now that is an improvement! And I was hardly sweating, more I was overly happy, and playful. I was positively striving to do better!

Ha.. Day after I crashed down again. Since of too high expectations.

Yeah.. Too high expectations of Results.. I wanted Results and Attention over all else. I wanted Glory...

When all that naturally comes to one who has won his believe on himself, has confidence and feeling that done work will be enough.

I am still far from that on most places I work. I rarely have these perfect areas to work on, but when I do, I bloom. However I desperately need to learn how to do on poor areas as well. When things are far from optimal.

And yes... key word is DOING, not Results. I need to - DO. To be focused on doing on how to CHANGE and ADJUST my doing.

Results are like drugs to perfectionist.

Ways to change our habit to be more effective are where the effectiveness comes from. And of course, of what we do not focus on. I mean this quote from Steve Jobs

One where he says. "People think that focus means saying yes to thing that you're going to focus on. But it doesn't mean that at all. It means saying No! - To all the unimportant that bugs your mind." ~ (freely translated back and forth from) Steve Jobs

---

Damn I derailed myself magnificently here. AHAHAHA


Really. - I am so happy from tears because I understand that there is nothing we could not learn to do over the time.

There are all those negative thoughs on our mind, but so what.

Ask yourself this.


Is it important enough.

Do I truly want it? - WHY?

Do I truly belive on it?

Who could support and give me speed to learn it?


AND THEN


DO IT

And MORE OF IT

FAIL Knowing that failing is perfectly okay and part of learning.

We need to fail to learn. To learn to think forward, of what we could do differently. And do it again.


YOU CAN DO IT


WHAT EVER IT IS YOU WANT TO DO, TO LEARN, TO ACHIEVE, Give yourself time and YOU WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCEED!




And to end small bit all the more important quote from Old FOX

Little too little is much more than little too much.



Start with small my friends. - Don't take the whole cake at once, you're not going to be able to eat it in one go, and if you do, you just get your stomach upset and lose your taste for cakes, perhaps for good.




I wish you well. ~ Your lil bike riding bunny



You can do it!
