Don't worry about the mistakes!
So often we worry about getting things just right. Wanting our page layout to look perfect. Unfortunately when we get caught up with that worry we tend to not progress. I have been stuck like that before. It was probably my fears of what would people think. It won't look professional enough etc. However, here as I progress through the trainings I have had the wonderful opportunity to make those mistakes and not get too hung up on it at all.
Each time I have ventured to ask a question I have quickly got responses from the community here at WA. So today I did make a mistake while setting up title menus and organising them. I ended up with subtitles not knowing how I did it. Ok I just had to keep being brave, admitting to myself my mistake and reach out and ask a question.
I used to even avoid questions asking for fear that I would sound dumb.. lol. but I have grown beyond that limitation. I have stopped doing a lot of things in my life that limit me. Suppose you get so hung up on sounding dumb or your writitngs having mistakes or it not looking perfect? We have to stop doing that to ourselves. Sometimes the key is just being willing to reach out and ask the question.
To my amazement I corrected my mistake within minutes, because there are some awesome people here equally willing to answer those questions . I had a response within minutes. I am so grateful for the community support and grateful that I have allowed myself to make mistakes, ask for help and then feel so accomplished in learning something. It wasn't hard at all. All we have to do is ALLOW, As I am sure most of us learn best by making mistakes. In my opinion, this is when the true learning begins. Cheers and Make it a great Day!

Good read! Making mistakes is a great way to learn. It seems I'll mess something up, figure out how to fix it. Later, I'll make it again, then realize I know how to fix it. And usually I don't make that mistake again!
One of my former colleagues once said to me after I commented on my ability to ask silly (dumb) questions. He said "don't worry. When you ask a silly question everyone else breaths a collective sigh of relief?"

Hi Teresa, the only limitations we have are those that are in our mind and so you are correct Teresa the light bulb moment is never far away all you have to do is persist and dont give up and hey presto you get there. Great Post
