Todays prompt: what is something you wish you knew how to do
“The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.”
Steve Maraboli
In a nutshell, the above quote says it all.
I have always been a self motivating person. When I wanted to learn to sew, I did. Pretty much on my own. I won’t lie and say I am extremely gifted or always take my time and pay attention to all the details but I will say I can sew a zipper!! When I wanted to raise a couple of goats to milk for their milk I learned how, then proceeded to learn to make goat milk soap, which I recommend to any and all with skin conditions or to those who just want a natural but lavish soap. When I wanted to learn to cook, bake and grow a vegetable garden, I rolled up my proverbial sleeves and leaned, I was self taught. Self motivation and self discipline are traits I am thankful for. I can really only think of one thing I aspire to but am regularly defeated, flounder and fold at. It is not forgiveness that I lack, I think. It isn’t that I cannot let go of yesterday even. How can I let go of the past when I still find myself repeating the same pattern? I do positive self talk, I do the homework and I practice it. Still, I am back in the same paddle boat, without the paddle. I have come up with a plan this time, I love lists so plans are fun to make. Of course, that requires plan A and plan B. This is where it gets problematic. At the moment my right knee ie impaired so I am unable to execute said plan(s). I will, however keep everyone au courant!!!
I wanted to learn to sew cloth diapers when my kids were still using them. This was the last batch I made in 2007. I googled for patterns, I don’t recall the site I used. Anything you want to do in life, you can do! Make up your mind, don’t settle! I am still working on my process but I know that what I put my mind to do, I do. So can you!

You’re right. It’s not about forgiveness. I suspect that parts of you are stuck. You can view this and see if anything rings a bell:

Great post. I’m self motivated too. People that make excuses that they are waiting for somebody else to do this, or for that to happen first, or the other thing to finish are doing exactly that – making excuses.
