Learning To Love The Rollercoaster!

I was feeling kinda’ down a little while ago because I was starting to get anxious about returning to work. Thoughts started coming up in my head:

• What made me think that I could do this?
• Am I ever going to learn all of these programs that I need to do my job competently?
• Will I ever stop feeling like an incompetent idiot?
• When will I stop feeling like I’m experimenting?
• Can you believe you’re getting paid for this? (Question to myself)

Anyway, I’m feeling better because I was planning my lessons for the week and I started coming up with so many ideas. I don’t feel quite so bad anymore. I know that I still have it. It being my creativity that has gotten me this far.

So, I’m sure that this rollercoaster will continue for… I don’t know how long. But ya’ know what? I will learn how to ride this rollercoaster. Not only that, I will learn all the curves that are coming up, all the dips and surprises. Because you know what, if you’re lucky, the more you ride the rollercoaster and become familiar with it, the less anxiety, fear and surprise you’ll experience for each go-round.

I may not like this rollercoaster, but I’m going to ride it out!

Until next time people!
