This has been one of the many things that intrigue me. The enthusiasm a child exhibits is beyond the ordinary. The child is so excited that he/she refuses to sit still, but rather continues to bask in the euphoria of the moment. The parents not wanting to cut the child's joy short will notwithstanding have to keep a close eye on the child. The steps may be wobbly at first, but it becomes perfected gradually as they become more firm and sure. A child is never discouraged at such moments because the joy of even getting up to walk supersedes the anxiety of falling down severally or the duration of perfection.

This is no different than what we all face in our day to day lives. The anxiety of making a mistake or the fear of repeating those mistakes, may always supersede, if care isn't taken, the joy of even trying out new things or the excitement of a new position. This really shouldn't be. Like the baby, we should be glad about the new phase. Remember, there is always a first time. And like the ancient aphorism goes; 'experience is the best teacher', which means you learn on the job. You can't remain the way you were a year ago. You would have learnt new tactics and easier ways to go about it. 

Just like the baby, never let the anxiety of the unknown discourage you from enjoying the achievement of the moment. Take those steps one at a time, and before you know it, you would have gone farther than you ever imagined. Feel free to share your thoughts. Lemme know what you think about the baby steps and how it relates to our individual lives. 

Be back soon!!!😍😍
