Challanges

Ok, so I will admit it, I'm not a very good driver. This is a big challange for me when being in France. AND I think I am improving:-)



I remember my first encounter with French driving style when I arrived on The Reunion Island 10 years ago...Remember I grew up in a very small town and at the time when I took my driving lisence I don't remember we even had traffic lights... and not to mention nooo roundabouts...



Back to La Reunion: I thought everyone was driving fast and aggressively...I didn't dare to go out there on the roads until after 2 months!!! After 2 months I got a job so I had to drive, hehe...That was GOOD for my self-confidence...I think my driving improved a lot there + later I did a lot of driving in southern Europe.

In St Paul, where our French home is, there is a small passage where you really have to goooo with the flooow to get through with a big family car . I used to close my eyes in the begining which was not a big success... I even asked my partner the first times if HE could drive through ...As he is of the practical courageous kind of characters he just looked at me and so I had to go...Terrifed of ruining our rental car...So I will tell you what was going on in my head : I told myself: " Ok, I am going to daaaaaaaance through that spaaacious passage" ...and what happens ? - All of a sudden this passage gets BIGGER !!! Easy peasy when we put your mind on things, huh? We just have to do that: put our minds to what we want and DO IT!!!!



I believe as we go towards our fears, or shall I say challanges, we grow and move on in life. If we never dare to meat our challanges we will stay in the waiting room...it's our OWN choice! No-one else's. Wheather it's a small or a big challange : just meet it...where-ever you are...I PROMISE you : you WILL grow & develop...maybe life will get a little bit bumpy and maybe you need help ( oh, please ASK for help!!!), JUST DO IT!



Which challange is the one just waiiiiiting for you??? Which is the one you really want but doesn't really dare to meet ????

GO AND GET IT!!!!
Best of luck!!!
