I do that all the time.

ok!

ver, sometimes these posts of yours are my favourite kind. better than the political hoo ha anyhow!

Agreed coco,

These posts of LaV are very zen... the beauty is in the words that she isn't writing... or something like that.

I agree too. All of Ver's posts are beautiful.

thanks all

that was very nice of you to say

i think sometimes i post stuff about myself then i say " geeee whiz!!!! that was TOO personal!" and then i feel like erasing it

which is what i did

if u already read it

perhaps it didn't look like a big deal

but i guess " big deals" are always "big" to those dealing with it LOL

on the outside, it doesn't even appear to be a problem

right now i'm trying to see the conflicts that i face as "opportunities"

i mean, i really can turn it into an extraordinary opportunity if i just let go of the results and take the adventure for what is it and just go for it

can anyone give me some tips, advice or just personal stories on just
" GOING FOR IT" when they weren't 100% sure of what they were getting into but decided to do it anyways?


it could be a

1) business venture
2) new job
3) new position within the job ( like leadership position)
3) relationship
4) family decision

whatever...

i guess the thing is that i don't want my fears to stop me from at least exploring the great opportunities i have for fear of "not knowing enough"

even though i think i've already prepared as much as i possibly could ( i can't stomach any more "preparation" at this point)

anyhow... just feeling like i could use a new perspective

i'm thinking .... i'm SURE that many people ( including myself) take on NEW things that they are not totally sure about ALL the time

but for some reason, i just feel kinda intimidated right now

and a part of me doesn't... a part of me feels like i can never be intimidated by anyone... but my actions are showing otherwise

so... any advise is helpful... i always gain from learning about other people's perspectives

it would be appreciated

keeping my particular situation to myself because i don't need any advice on the specifics... just need advise relating to the INTERNAL solutions which is all about attitude and a sense of adventure instead of trepidation ( this is what i am fighting inside)

I'm not really sure of any thing I'm getting myself into, but I just kind of go for it anyway. Some of what you need to learn may come from experience anyway?

Good luck!

yeah, i guess the building blocks of what i need to learn may come from experience like i may not know EVERYTHING but one skill that i do have and i pretty much honed it to a science is that i am VERY good asking specific questions so i guess i could use that to my advantage and just ask any time i am not sure of something

by the way thomas, i think that singers are VERY brave people because ... well, its like you are just putting yourself OUT THERE... and its a very personal thing

does it take a lot of nerve to do that?

i sang in front of a GROUP of people only once ( though i sing all the time to myself)

it was a favorite song of mine

but the microphone wasn't working

so people said that they had a hard time hearing the words

and i sounded like i was whispering

but they clapped for me anyhow ( cuz they are nice people

plus it was an off the cuff thing so it was no big deal

but i think its a cool thing to be a singer

there are so many songs i love to sing

i wonder how u do it though

it would take me a lot of nerve to sing in front of people whom i don't know

things like that

i need to get over

When I am doing something exciting that I am nervous about I make sure the outcome I expect is really what I want to happen. When I am sure, I picture in my minds eye doing it and having the outcome exactly the way I want it. I don't stop focusing on that picture and the picture of myself doing it.

la_veronique- I like the way you word/construct your posts- It always makes me feel like alice in wonderland! :-D

I have written posts I really wish I could have removed!

The moto of my life is go for it, no limnitsm. no lack of entusiasum, no hesitation. Once I write something down it's too late, I'm fully comitted and it happens. Look at what I've done in thsse past few months from a point of knowing nothing st sll about a subject.

I'm hoping to find other like minded musicians now and form a group.

one person said "el and the naturals" LOL

elnatural

It used to be more nervewracking to sing in front of people... but I've done it probably thousands of times now so I don't really get too wigged out about it!
Practice practice practice!

<<practice practice practice>> okay tommy, i like that
i can definetley go for that
and also if its not exactly what i want, i can always change lanes
and do something else

i guess thats also like life
nobody has a handbook for doing life
but we leap off the cliff ( into life) anyhow...
and " construct our wings on the way down"

so i guess i'm not alone

EL and the Naturels is a darn good name for a band ( i must say so myself)

but i thought of yet ANOTHER good band name for you

how 'bout THE NAPA KIM CHEES and El Radishes ( since u are the kim chi master maker) ( i know the title is triply redundant but u gotta have fun with the naming, u know?)


rawnoggin

i like your name
it reminds me of egg nog ( but raw made out of coconut milk and cinnamon and nutmeg! instead... gulp !






hey pakd4fun
yes it is true
focusing on the good things is key
and its also good for my mental health as well

raw1228

well, i missed your infamous post ( the one everyone seemed to have read/seen except me)

i'm just going to go for it
the heck with all my fears
what is life but just the thrill of conquering one's own fearful perceptions
and soaring to the sky while doing it?

to me, that is FREEDOM

i don't have to yearn for it

i can just take it, u know?

like a pink or green cloud floating by

i can just reach out and take a piece of it and internalize it like raw cotton candy

that's right

i'm no coward

uh no... not me!

okay, i am... but so what?

i am going to have my adventure like i always do ( whether i like it or not! ha ha!)

its either that or "analysis paralysis" and ANYTHING is better than THAT!

i'm feeling better right now

i actually had a STUNNNNING beautiful day
hung out with a friend of mine

i always like hanging out with him

i think that he is one of the GREATEST persons in the world

i don't tell him that

i like keeping that one tinsy eensy secret to myself

its quite a secret

i love keeping that secret

how I get things done I know nothing about

Toss out fear and all limiting thoughts.
Dont listen to and get away from anyone who says you cant do that.

Read books, search the net and or ask people who are experts in the area unitll you have enough info to create a plan.

Start working even if you dont see the whole picture clearly.

If you get stuck on some part of it go back to no 1. and or reach into your own creativeness that you dont know you have yet.

elnatural

I don't think of it as changing lanes so much as the scenery changing around me.

LaV, I think your friend knows your secret.

El, Great advice. I am already using it.

el natural and the Kim chi radishes

nicely put

pakd4fun:

scenery changing around u... huh.... that's an intriguing thought
changing lanes is too pedestrian

<<LaV, I think your friend knows your secret.>>

I certainly hope so ( impish smile

once upon a time.............

an overcome woman called me and said you must meet me tonight for dinner so I can talk to you about something very important.

I replied - I already knew you where going to call me and what you are going to say so there's no need to meet.

And she said please meet me any way! I can only do this in person.

So we met and it was exactly as I knew it would!

She said even though I was a raw foodist and she wasnt her atraction to me was overwelming and promised to become a raw foodist. I knew then It would never happen and was all a bunch of baloney. She wanted me to keep her on track to going raw. I told her I cant and or wont do that for you or anyone else. Her raw food endeavor never went anywhere. Later this person proposed and new that would happen too.

I give this true story as an example that with me there are NO secrets!11111 That's the secret I have and keep. Not so secret now though : )

el rawdsh and the red hot kimchi makers
