Hello, hello!
How are things?

Living is really challenging sometimes, isn't it?
Life is challenging!
Being an adult is challenging! The world is challenging!
LOL
No, I'm not going crazy! It's just something that keeps popping into my mind!
Do things pop inside your mind? If yes, what kind of issues pop there?
Because inside of my mind, goodness me! Sometimes, it's not possible to stop and focus because thoughts come and go all the time!

Have you done something that was really challenging?
I have!
I'll tell you but you have to promise that you'll not laugh. Ok?
Ok, then! Here it goes!
I don't know if I've told you but I'm not a fan of taking pictures... so, imagine this person here in a photo shoot!?
Can you picture that?

I had this experience three times!
The first two times were photographs that I wore clothes that are not part of my daily routine, like different dresses or just a shirt.
The third time, I had taken professional photographs to use in my social media to promote myself, all about work.
Anyway, all the three times, there were cameras involved! Very hard for me!
Hmmm to be honest, taking pictures were more challenging when I was a teenager!!! I hated it! More than hate it, I despised it! I haven't got a single picture from when I was a teen. Just three! Because they were taken at school in the end of the year!
Another challenging situation was being on TV. The first two times were on for the whole country! My first experience on TV! After that I was invited for interviews in the local TV, in my city. Then, again, another challeging thing! A live interview! Holy moly! I thought I was going to faint! hahahaahahahahh
But everything went well and I'm alive here!
I've just realized that the things that I have to show my face and put my voice ON, make me feel very nervous and anxious. I guess Ibhave to work on them to improve some skills.

Everything that is for the FIRST time is challenging, in my point of view.
But I also think that when it's something that you like a lot, it becomes less challenging. Driving a car, for example, we need attention, focus, care, many thing to be aware of while in traffic. When we like it, the challenge is there but it's something like: WOW" I'm driving!!! This is SOOOO COOOL!!!
It's different when someone is afraid of it. They might think that driving is more challenging than going to the moon!
So, I have a question for you.
Do you think fear makes things more challenging?
I do!
Or sometimes the fear makes the person freeze and give up doing what they were supposed to do.
Another question!
What is the most challenging thing you've ever done in your life?
Do you prefer living your life smoothly without challenges or having different things happening that will make you grow personally and professionally?
Have you realized that the things we try to run away from all the time, are the challenges we try to get rid of?
But, eventually those challenges will be at our door and we're going to have to face them wether we want it or not. So, I think we'd better put all our strength together and go ahead!
I know we can do that!
Take care,
Bisous!
