Meltdowns or a naughty child

Meltdowns verses a naughty child. A trip to Tesco's to buy an outfit for Halloween.  James suddenly didn't want us to pay for things he wanted to leave the store.  He threw himself on the floor when I stopped him from running. The security guard watched us with an air of suspicion.  Thoughts do I admit defeat, dump the shopping in the store and come back another time.  James still clinging onto the witched outfit.  No I went to the express checkout.  James followed me taking his coat off he screamed, everyone looked.  I announced sorry he has autism.  As we left the store refused to move. So I borrowed a basket as I thought I could carry him, his coat and the shopping.  As we walked through door still screaming he tried to grab my hair and ended up grabbing my mask and pulling it off my face.

Jump before you are ready.

Do you jump before you are ready? You will never feel ready.  Life is about the experience, if we fear pursuing our dreams and do nothing,  we will never know what might have been. Doing nothing may feel safe but it prevents us from learning. Have no regrets.   If it is something that moves you to action you should go for it.   Feel the fear and do it anyway.   Look back on your life for what you did, not what you wish you had done.  A life of no regrets. I am not saying I have it all sewn up, but life is what you make it, most often I struggle to act. Do I get scared and think "what if it all goes wrong?" Yes.  Now I am not saying make uncalculated risks,  I am saying sometimes you have to take a risk in order to grow.  Sometimes that is when we do not feel ready.   Make a small investment in yourself today Invest in yourself today that might be exercise or learn a new skill, connect with someone.  Get out there...
