Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Pursuing Your Dreams — Learning Some Thing New Video Presentation

January 20, 2015 By Second Chance to Live

Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. In this article, Pursuing Your Dreams — Learning Something New I shared  some thing that reminded me to not give up on the process. I would like to share what helped me with you through this video presentation. My hope is that as you listen to and watch this presentation that you will be encouraged to not give up on your process.

Below is a brief excerpt from the article:

“In the past 3 articles I introduced my 1st 2 e Book and the principles that I used in writing my 2 e Books. The process of constructing and then writing my e Books reinforced several lessons. I would like to share those lessons with you, as they relate to pursuing dreams through learning some thing new. As you read this article, may you be encouraged to pursue your dreams through learning some thing new.

As I shared in my article, How I Created my First e Book — Using Different Principles, I watched, listened to and took notes from various video presentations that I found on You Tube. I gathered the information from what I saw in the video presentations and studied the pattern that I learned from my friend. After doing so I attempted to apply what I learned to create my e Book. Each time I applied what I had learned, I got a different result; which left me frustrated. I then attempted to combine what I had learned, which also left me frustrated.

After spending about 35 hours or so trying unsuccessfully to make the system work for me, I called my friend who helped me to start the project in 2011. I told him that I realized that I was meant to write and needed help with this technical stuff. He told me not to worry and that he would help me. I thanked him and got away from the project. I went and worked out to clear my mind. The next day I decided to try some thing new. To my surprise and delight the changes I made worked and I began to create my 1st e Book.

To my surprise and delight things the changes that I made worked and I was able to start the process of creating my 1st e Book. What I discovered was that the information that I gathered from You Tube and following my friends pattern — although good information — did not work for me.”
