It’s time to stop crawling…

Taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I finally asked myself, "Do I remember well the example I used in such situations, that of the baby learning to walk?" "Yes, I remember that" "And once he can walk, the baby becomes a child. And once he learns to drive, he becomes a young adult."
"And that's how we learn everything in life. We learn by first having a desire for change. We want something better. You may have loved your job at one point, but now you know it's time to change. It's time to move on, just as a baby somehow knows it's time to change. It's time to stop crawling. At some magical moment, the baby knows that it's time, that it's time to do something different. The baby starts by holding on to something, like a parent's pant leg or the leg of a table. Babies falter as they learn to bridge the gap between crawling and walking. They do it over and over again, then one day they let go and fall. The baby has failed. Instead of giving up, as many adults would, the baby repeats the process over and over. Then one day, the baby's mind, body and spirit align and the baby can stand. Soon after standing, he learns to walk. He becomes a child. Then come bicycles, then cars.
Babies become children, and children become adults. Yes, and the process is similar for all of life. It just so happens that some people started at that age, failed several times, struggled, and succeeded. We can do the same if we are willing to take the risk of going through our learning process. I think we can have confidence in our ability to make mistakes, correct and improve our lives. We can say that we are better today, and we intend to get even better. But no, we are never fully confident in our skills, because we do not rest on our laurels or past successes. We constantly put ourselves in situations where we are beyond our competence. We are always on the edge, always hesitant, always testing ourselves. This is how we continually improve.
Personally, I don't hesitate to be the baby learning to walk, I don't hesitate to test, to make mistakes, to correct and to learn. Let's be resilient, let's all be the famous baby 👶 right now 🤞👶👷‍♀️.

Today at Macdo waiting for Ayman …. The child learning to be a yong adult 😉😉
