This past Thursday, Carolyn shared with us her presentation entitled “ Why Fly to the Moon? “ 

She shared some thoughts about astronaut Neil Armstrong. At one point, Neil was asked why he wanted to go the moon. Neil answered by saying by going to the moon, he thought he may have a different perspective of the the earth. 

Sometimes we all need a different vantage point to see things differently. 

     If for some reason you lose your passion in life, you may have to work hard and fight to get it back. You also may need to be more adventurous to have that passion again. So, if you end up losing your passion for something, what do you think happened to make you lose interest?  The important thing is that you get going again and to get motivated to get your passion back. 

     Carolyn shared with us that she is very interested in trying to find something she can say to help you get your interest back. Maybe you feel you are too old to try something new?  It doesn’t matter, you can still achieve something new you want to accomplish. When you start exploring your options, you will open other doors. And remember anything worth having is worth going after. And there are not set ways of doing something.  How will you know if you can or can’t achieve something unless you give it a try? 

     Carolyn said she is becoming her new way by coming to our group every Thursday. She has even begun teaching herself how to play the guitar! When you get out of your comfort zone, and try something different, you can heal yourself with dedication and hard work. And making changes does not have to be painful. As you free yourself, you will begin to heal. If you want change in your life, you must do the changing. Are you willing to change? 

     You may need to let go of some of your old thoughts. Remember what we think about ourselves and the world is what we may become. Whatever beliefs you have may become true for you. We can learn to change our attitudes about things that happened to us in the past. And if needed, only we can change ourselves in order to move forward.
