While listening to a webinar, the presenter said there are few people left who are not plugged into technology somehow.  Gone is the group of people who ‘chose’ not to plug into Face Book or other social media venues because they were “simply not interested and didn’t need it” or felt it was beyond their technical skills.  This presenter said even the reluctant among us are being forced to get up to speed. 

Yes, that would be me.  I didn’t feel the need to be connected in that way.  I didn’t want to take the time to learn how to navigate the platforms and all they can or can’t do. I tend to view them as time-sucking vacuums.  Not for me, Thank you!

However, during this time of isolation, I find myself turning to them more and more.  What surprises me is how quickly I’m learning.  Necessity is a good motivator!

This experience makes me wonder how many other things I’ve been resisting … reaching inaccurate conclusions, mostly assumptions about a level of difficulty that exists mostly in my mind.  I guess those are called preconceived notions. This new awareness prompts me to search for other areas of my life where I might become more “willing and capable.”

The origins of the abilities we have or don’t have are first conceived in our own minds.  Henry Ford expressed this succinctly; “Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.”
