Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Building on yesterday’s jeff noel blog post…..
Blogging every day, and posting on the Internet for the world to see, adds an element of risk few people can comprehend.
Why?
Because anyone, and I do mean anyone, can “see what you think” – can “see what you value”.
There is also a saying in life, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”. Risk has it’s own rewards.
Are you determined to find out what they are? Carpe diem.
One of the benefits to blogging every day is going through the process of what to write and how to write it. Only people who “journal” or “write a diary” daily can fully appreciate this phenomenon.
And, if I do say so myself, the process of posting it on a public Internet blog for the world to see, adds an untapped benefit that “private writers” have yet to discover.
The daily act requires more effort than occasional blogging, in my opinion. Over time, your creativity and your topics could dry up. Plus, you really have to think long and hard about what you value. And if you ever expect people to “follow your path”, you have to know and study your audience.
“The unexamined life is not worth living”. — Socrates
A lifetime of learned behaviors. Life is hard. And mostly difficult. And busy. And distracting.
Some days, maybe while watching a movie or TV show, we see a Family that seems to have it all together and wonder why we can’t live like that.
It’s a movie, okay? It’s not real. Yet perhaps there’s some compromise between what’s portrayed in books and movies, and what is our current reality.
Maybe. maybe not.
I’d like to find out.
Carpe diem, jeff đŸ™‚
Failing? Probably. It weighs heavy on my soul and heart. I’d really like to be a better:
Yet after decades of learned behavior, there’s a struggle deep down inside that seems overwhelming.
Overwhelming, yes. Impossible, no.
The people involved in this are going to have to want this too. It takes two. This is not a one-sided challenge, nor a one-sided opportunity. Is it me, or is that ticking sound the clock?
Stuck? Sort of. A lot has happened this past week. Some incredibly awesome stuff. Some horrific stuff.
I work hard to focus on the positive side, without sacrificing what the horrible stuff is telling me.
Love and hate. Heaven and hell. God and the devil. Faith and unbelief. Mysteries and facts.
So what is surfacing as I type this (and I trusted something would), is that we all have a choice to make.
In fact we have lots of choices. Each day. All day. Everyday.
It takes practice and discipline to increase our “batting average”.
Make today a great day. Go in there swinging and keep your eye on the ball.
