Our life is filled with having experience is that we have never done before because that is only going to be the thing which is going to fill us up with a lot of experience is and there is a kind of routine which we follow on a very frequen basis which is something that fails us up with a kind of repetitive fashion of work that we get ourselves involved in which is why having to do something fresh is obviously something that we all love to do.

It's always a great chance to be involved in something that is going to be completely new for us and having to do something for the first time is obviously a great experience and it is something that is within our ownself which is very much curious to be trying out new things which is why it always gets to be one of the past things to be trying out things we have never done which can be a really great barrier to the mundane routine which we are following every single day.

Recently there was a thing which I did for the very first time and it was an experience that I was trying to have for a really long period of time but there was no opportunity that I could figure out from myself to be getting myself involved in that and it is just to be attending a very simple pottery workshop which is obviously something that many people can be looking at as a very small activity but for me it was really something that interested me quite a lot as I have not been expert of art or craft since my childhood but that is something that always makes me wonder about it and get me attracted towards it as well.

I have always been very curious about pottery since a very young age because it was something that I saw on a television program and ever since that moment I was fascinated about that spinning wheel and the mud or clay on top of it which is something that can be given a shape as we wish it to be with the simple usage of hands and a lot of other simple tools as well which is something that always made me feel like I also want to do it once.

It always look to me as something that had a sense of calm within itself and also a really great sense of artistic work at display which people who are expert in the field are actually displaying their skills with the help of that spinning wheel which is something that really was very satisfying to watch as out of no where the simple clay is taking a very prominent shape of something that is very much used by us in our daily life and that is something which really is amazing to look at and having an opportunity to be doing it was like a dream for me.

It was just a couple of weeks ago when my friend offered me to join him for one day at a pottery workshop that he was a part of and I just simply agreed to it and I made my free time on that particular day and I was there as well and when I just looked at that particular place it was something that made me feel little bit nervous at the beginning because it has always mean something that I felt to be doing but actually seeing all of those things happening right in front of me was a little bit intimidating for me for sure.

As I was handed over the first set of clay and the tools, it was like a big challenge for me because I was not very good at it. After all, I was making a mess of it every single time, and I was not able to manage the clay when spinning the wheel and it was not able it taking a shape into anything which actually made me feel even more pressure but at the same time the instructor over there was very come and was trying to make me understand about how it works.

Slowly I started to find a group with the help of the instructor and it actually started to take up a little bit of Shape as well which was something that actually was quite magical for me to experience because it was starting to emerge out of nothing and that has been the whole thing which I have seeing from my own childhood and having an opportunity to see it with my own hands been done is actually a really great thing for me.

Slowly I improved my skills and by the end of the day I was actually able to craft a few simple earthen pots which was really a great achievement for me because I very honestly no nothing about pottery and having to experience that since it has been kind of a dream for me from my own childhood was actually a very special experience for me and it was also the first time for me doing it.

There are a lot of first times that we come across in our life and they are actually very much important for us to be trying to continuously keep them involved in our life because if we are continuously doing something and following a kind of routine then it is definitely going to be giving us a lot of stability but at the same time it is also going to be making us feel bored which is why we should always be trying to get ourself involved in new experience is there is an endless list that we can be experiencing and exploring.

Many people do have a kind of fear with first times because it is going to be simply meaning the fact that they have to be trying to do something that they have never done before and also is going to be a big opportunity for them to be moving away from their comfort zone which is also something that a lot of people are not really comfortable doing as well but at the same time we should actually be trying to do the things dait vi have nevar dain before even without the thoughts that we have with that because it is going to be something which will actually make us feel happy and also beat of more creative at the end of the day when we have done something new.
