Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have my driving test scheduled for tomorrow and I'm not certain that I'll pass. Last year I failed twice on parallel parking. I decided this year I'll surely get it, have been practicing all summer on the computer and with different people but I'm feeling nervous. I've been telling myself even if I don't pass, its ok, I'll manage without it somehow and will get it another time. Now though I realize that I'm trying to protect myself from being hurt. The fact is that not having a drivers license is a major inconvenience. I've had to give up jobs I wanted, miss activities, taken up time looking for rides or taking the bus. SO - let's try this the ACT way! By working toward my drivers license (a goal), I am moving toward my value of independence. To move toward this value I am willing to endure feelings of disappointment or embarrassment (if I don't earn my license again). I'm not going to give up before I start. I'm going to do what I can and if I'm meant to earn the license I will, but either way I have done what I can. Sounds good? I am starting to feel more confident about tomorrow. I've never been ok with failing, but I am starting to believe that its ok to fail and be upset about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
