Better late than never...

Learn & Play @ CML started awhile ago and I never got past the first "thing", so...here is my blog and I am ready to start the learning and the playing!

After watching the "7 1/2 habits of highly effective lifelong learners" I learned that I am naturally a life long learner! Phew! So, most of the habits come easily to me! I think the ones that I struggle with are, "Begin with the end in mind" and "View problems as challenges". Sometimes I start a learning process and I don't have a definite goal, or I have a goal, but feel as if I don't have the time or dedication to reach my lofty goal. I need to find a balance in the goal department! Viewing problems as challenges is something I constantly struggle with. It is all about being positive and opening your mind. When I am overwhelmed or frustrated, it is much harder to ride the positivity wave. Also, I am a perfectionist and I don't like to fail...so, sometimes the little voice in my head must yell "IT IS A CHALLENGE! NOT A PROBLEM!" I need to listen to that yelling voice, especially lately.
What is easiest for me? Playing, of course!
On with the learning!
