Thoughts on being Proactive

Well Good Morning readers of my blog, I hope you had a pleasent Monday and a nice weekend to go with it!

This week, well starting on Wednesday that is, me and the maternal figure started what we understood to be a computer course with a company called Real Time Training here in foggy old Hastings.
The first 3 days were spent on "employability" - doing CVs, mock application and thinking about all of the goals and aspirations that we have for ourselves. I might add on some of the thing I came up with for things like Ideal House, Ideal Relationships, Ideal Career etc. That was quite fun seeing as how I've been cutting up the Argos catalogue for the last couple of weeks and making collages of how I would have the different rooms in my house done, from all of the items in the Argos catalogue.

Course wise:
Yesterday we completed the IT Applications, Risk Assessment and Health and Safety Courses; so should get a little certificate for each of those. Today we are doing Manual Handling, Fire Safety and tomorrow we should do the food Hygiene Certificate. The big point is that it has inspired me to get an NVQ in Customer Service!! What do you reckon? Do you think I can do it? Course I can (I hope!)!
So that is where the proactive part comes in to play!! Of course there is a possibility that it'll never happen, but it would never have happened in the fist place unless I had the inspiration!

**New Thought** Maybe I'll get an NVQ in Childcare or another qualification in childcare... Maybe I won't. But you know how it goes, if you don't take the first step, you'll never start the journey - you'll definately never get to your destination!!
The other thing this course has highlighted to me, is that I need to work on my people skills, so who knows... Watch this space for any other crazy ideas I may have.

My No1 thought?
NEVER LET THE FEAR OF STRIKING OUT KEEP YOU FROM PLAYING THE GAME
