Not that the overwhelming two readers I have actually noticed but I’m back party people!
Semi passive-aggressiveness aside I’ve decided to resume this blog on a much more regular basis because, well, my dreams don’t work unless I do.
During my hiatus, I discovered that I have the focus of an 8-year-old. No seriously, I get bored easily and there are so many things I’m good at and am interested in, that I found myself bouncing around from project to project not really mastering anything.
I wanted to lie to myself that I was actually making progress by working on so many projects but when I was honest with myself, not focusing on one critically important goal, was holding me back.
So I stopped and thought about while I love fashion, beauty, makeup, dancing, painting, and crafting equally, my real passion was traveling and I should put all my energy into pursuing that. (To be fair, I can experience all of my favorite things while traveling so by focusing one I can still experience the others.)
I knew this was true because whenever one of my friends went on vacation or when I saw my favorite travel blogger post a picture at some beautiful distant location I would be filled with envy. I would ask myself if I was the travel enthusiast, why am I not going on these luxurious but budget friendly excursions? Why am I not living out my wildest travel fantasies?
The answer was simple, I wasn’t getting anywhere far because while I am very ambitious, hard working, and passionate I was missing three key ingredients. Discipline, focus, and consistency.
I wasn’t disciplining myself to focus on writing about just travel consistently. I didn’t follow my niche and it put my thinking all over the place. It showed in my content, posts, and conversations.
I’m glad I caught this error in my pursuit to achieving my dreams. When we allow ourselves the chance to recognize our faults and are kind enough to ourselves to change them amazing things can happen.
Or at least that’s what I’ve been told and I think that’s some pretty solid advice.
So buckle up to my faithful two. We’ll grow our empire together.
