Take Off the Training Wheels

There comes a time in everyone's life when we are faced with taking off our training wheels. When we need to embrace change and move from the baby bike right to the big girl bike.

Taking the risk of change can be unsettling and sometimes scary but if we support change and don't resist it, the outcome can be more than we had hoped for.

Is there something in your life right now that you are resisting?

Go back a few years and call up the memory of the first time you rode on your bicycle minus the training wheels.

Was it scary?....but once you started to pedal and picked up a little speed, did you feel a sense of accomplishment and sheer delight?
Was it worth the risk? Even if you fell a few times and scraped your knee eventually you were riding on your own.

Realize your dreams and celebrate change...it can be exhilarating!

Hi Sharon,

I feel for you with all the challenges you are going through at your job.

Don't lose faith in yourself and you will attain the life you deserve.

I started a sales job about three months ago. As a new sales rep, I have been in training and trying to make some sales. I sent out a lot of proposals but nothing has closed and it's the end of the month.

My boss went from being pretty cool to being the total condescending jerk because nothing has closed. Now he's super micromanaging me. Before he was helping me so much. But his nasty response and personal issues have caused me to look to myself and other people in the company to help me make this position work. God, I get so scared sometimes that I will say the wrong thing, cost the company big money, or look inept or foolish in front of customers. Half the time I freeze up and can hardly talk. I wasn't like this when I started the job. Plus I was having lots of fun. I let that loathsome boss man take away my fun and get to me. Silly me! I want to just let his junk roll off my back.

This is one of those situations where I need to ride the bike without training wheels knowing that I will develop confidence through courage and experience. I want to have a career which is satisfying and financially rewarding very badly. I will reach my goal!
I have cried a lot the past few days. I won't quit though. He can fire me but I won't quit. Thanks for listening.
Hi Deborah,

With confidence, I feel that you being able to realize the things that you have suppressed for many years will propel you forward!

You have come a long way since I first met you in Simi Valley

You know I just thought of something else Audie. When I was a child we has exercise classes and the kids would make fun of me every time I tried to do things. You see I was the granddaugther of a preacher and the kids would make fun of me for the hand me down clothes I wore. Well getting back to the exercise, as I went on to high school I was always in fear that the kids would continue to laugh and I avoided most of the classes. Now I refuse to go to public classes, but I enjoyed the health retreat because it didn't seem to matter with a smaller group. At least now I am beginning to see where the weight problem started from. Time to give up all my comfort zones.:)
I loved my bike riding when I was a child and I lost control and went over a hill trying to follow other children when I had envision that the hill was too high for me... so guess who felled head first?:| I injected the thought of falling and I did. I also took on the fear of riding a bike and missed much fun from my childhood. I suppose that is why I enjoy my stationary bike now because I can ride a long time with no fear of falling off. My own little comfort zone. I wonder how much I am missing now. I can answer that because on rainy days I will miss my walk because of a fear of falling. I guess I didn't realize that it was still there. Thank you Audie for this eye opening blog. :-x These are things that I had suppressed so deeply that I had forgotten.
