Challenges?

In deference to Lifelong learning habit #3, is a problem really a challenge if the fault lies with poor attention to detail? I have spent the better part of the past week tearing my hair out, trying to figure out why no one else seemed to have any problem getting their avatar in the right place and the right size. What was wrong with me? I was dogged in my pursuit of the answer. I Googled directions, I searched Yahoo! endlessly, to no avail. I'm very stubborn and felt proud of the fact that I was turning my "problem" into a challenge. I went to my school and worked with my tech guys, who were even more clueless. Finally, in talking with them and showing them what I was trying to accomplish, it happened, I stumbled upon the solution! I was so excited, so proud of myself. Until 29 minutes ago. That's when, while trying to locate something else, I came upon some very clear and concise directions fot putting an avatar exactly where it needed to go.
In the end, I not only learned how to place an avatar in my blog, I also learned, and had to admit, some truths about myself. I create quite a few of my own learning (and life) problems/challenges and this exercise illustrated this very well. I try to do too many things at one time which causes me to stress out and try to do things too quickly or at a high stress level. That's when directions, etc. get overlooked and effective learning is lost. I need to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the learning process and experience. If I can get a handle on that, I would please not only myself but my husband, family, friends, school nurse, woman who gives me massages when I can no longer move my shoulder... As I said, it's a truth I haven't wanted to admit.
