When we have experiences which leave us feeling uncompleted, it is necessary to take steps to resolve them.
I desired to learn a particular skill and I took a beginning class on it.
It was really fun, although it took me several steps to catch on, even while others in the class were proceeding.
Later on, I had the opportunity to buy the equipment I needed in order to practice my new skill.
I was not able to do get all the steps to come together even though I remembered most of them.
A group formed for people who were interested in getting together to do the skill.
A couple of people coached me at the monthly get-togethers and I began to catch on once again.
I took a private lesson with another teacher and learned some more.
At one meeting, when I was feeling uncertain and vulnerable, I was unable to get coaching.
My feeling of vulnerability grew and I dropped out of the group.
I still wanted to learn, and about a year later, I found the opportunity.
This was the right time with the right teacher.
I had a couple of hours to practice during the class and my hands caught the rhythm.
I was shown what to do when things broke down.
I was able to have an enjoyable conversation as I continued my practice, and to learn other related skills.
Since the class was given in a public setting, visitors dropped in and out while I practiced and my teacher interacted with the visitors.
I have such a different feeling now that I have achieved success.
I have resolved my frustration and irritation into a confident approach.
I am so grateful to have resolved my uncertainty and to have my desire to learn this skill fulfilled.
