Oh! Just Blog It!
Blogging for yourself is hard. Especially when part of your job is blogging for everybody else. So I have all but ignored my personal blog for several months now. And if you check that falls right in line with blogging statistics overall. Start out gangbusters then slowly peter out until your online presence becomes a ghost town.
So why is it so hard?
For some it’s just a matter of not being passionate enough about a topic to blog about it. For others, it’s a confidence issue…”Who is going to want to read my take on the world?” …or “What if somebody doesn’t agree with me and rips me a new one?”
I’m more of the latter.
I am opinionated and passionate…to the point of angering folks and even being labeled obsessive. But, what I’ve found is that many of my critics (and yours too) have major issues themselves. Instead of blazing trails they get more mileage out of crapping on yours.
Some among you just won’t get it.
You will get criticized for what you say…and even for blogging, vlogging, Tweeting, Facebooking at all. But as one of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes says – “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
So here I go again. A renewed motivation to just get out there and BLOG!
