Here’s a powerful lesson I learned long ago at a workshop with author Brian Biro:
The past does not equal the future!
It’s really powerful when you think about it. All of us have had bad experiences in the past. Unfortunately we have turned some failures into destructive beliefs. Just because you have failed doing things in the past doesn’t mean that you can’t acheive them in the future. It just means that you failed and need to learn the lesson and come back with a new approach the next time you try.
I have a firm belief that people can accomplish great things if they put their mind to it. Don’t allow criticism or a bad experience stop you from trying again and again until you figure it out. Separate yourself as a person from the behavior, and recoginze that you have it in you to improve and succeed!!
Never stop believing in yourself! Talk to you soon 🙂

I adore what you’ve written here. Learned behaviour can be a ball and chain. Putting oneself outside ones comfort zone can bring amazing results; even if the heart beats faster with fear along the way!
Your talented wife and her book will have experienced these moments and look what her efforts have brought her now! Many congratulations.

Isn’t it strange that our embedded beliefs, no matter how negative, can also resonate with a comfortable familiarity that makes abandoning them seem impossible to consider?
