First time

There is always a first time in everything. Even lizards mate for the first time.

First time to notice something and a first time to learn new tricks. Perhaps a first kiss! We all know how on noticing the first sprouting of greying hair also comes along the inner voice to dissuade us from trying new things! This voice, though not audible, can be more instructive than the authoritative voices that are sometimes subscribe to. I wonder when this Voice was born, nurtured and even take on an assuming position in my life!! hmmmm...

Let's take cycling as an example. It may surprise many, myself included, that I actually do not know how to cycle - at least in making turns, a month ago. Familiar voice says, "You may fall and you'll too old, you will laughed!....." One fine day and with two friends, I begin to challenge myself and asking relatively simple and logical questions how this 'handicap' should remain. So it happen, almost in a moment of cerebral supra-control take over moment - open my wallet, swipe my card and carried home a $800 bicycle. About a month later, I'm moving around with some ease and I pat myself for this achievement. I can think of several more new first-times!

I wonder how many of us misses our first-time expereince that actually promises us something beautiful ahead. I think we have such capacity as humans to rebound and do many new things that we never dream possible. Let's resurrect our inner-inner voice and live the life as intended.

What is holding us back? To me, life goes on until it ends, so live it. Even writing this blog is my first time and I have to silence the voice before it has a speaking opportunity!! I will know when the voice can be heard again...
