I am glad, because I now properly understand how my website works, know how to solve any problems that come up without having to rely on someone else, or wait for an expert to get back to me etc. <br />It is not just the practical side of things though, it is the fact that I have learnt that I am capable of much more than I ever thought I could be, that I am capable of finding a way to solve problems, whatever they may be.<br /> The sense of empowerment and self confidence this is bringing will definitely stand me in good stead if opportunity does knock, because any big opportunity will be taking me outside, maybe far outside my comfort zone, so knowing that I have coping strategies in place is worth its weight in gold.<br />A thought provoking post, thank you,<br />Sarah x<br />Lets hope opportunity comes our way soon :-)<br />#bigfatlinky<br />Babyfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078955924212449000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34293239.post-74687475165183482692015-08-15T07:04:38.170+01:002015-08-15T07:04:38.170+01:00Thanks Sarah, Catherine and Mrs Tubbs - appreciate...Thanks Sarah, Catherine and Mrs Tubbs - appreciate you all dropping by!
