Where to begin...
Well, I've been thinking about starting a blog for about 6 months now, but as usual life always gets in the way and it's taken me until now to finally decide that I'm going to make time to write and share my story with others. The same question keeps coming to mind when I think about starting a blog... "Will anyone actually enjoy reading what I have to write?" And the answer I keep coming up with is the same... Everyone has a story worth sharing, it's just a matter of putting it into words for others to enjoy. It doesn't matter what you do in life, each and every one of us has something we can teach each other. There are so many wonderful blogs out there about life, food, travel, running and so much more. I want to be part of this exciting generation that share their thoughts and experiences with the rest of the world.
What do I hope to achieve by writing a blog...
My main reason for wanting to write a blog is to help motivate others. I feel as though I grow and learn new things every day that make me a happier person and lead me towards living the best life I can, and if I can share that with others and encourage other people to live the best life they can, I will feel like I've helped to make a difference. It is such a nice feeling when people ask my opinion on running or exercise, I want to expand on that and help people achieve all sorts of personal goals in every aspect of their lives. I want to create a link between people from all walks of life, all over the world. My passion for travelling will mean I get the opportunity to meet amazing people that can teach me things about their lives, which I can then share with the rest of you, and we can each take what we want from this knowledge and information and use it to better our own lives.
By writing a blog I'm opening myself up to judgment and criticism from anyone that reads it, but that is something I'll have to get used to and come to terms with as my blog evolves. I'm excited to hear people's opinions on what I write. Whether it is positive feedback or constructive criticism, either way it will help me in my own development. I look forward to expanding and developing my blog as I continue my own journey of fulfilling my own dreams, and as I change, my blog will change with me (and as I get better at using the software!)
Life is about setting goals and taking the steps necessary to work towards those goals, no matter how big or small. That said, over the next few months I'll start from the beginning of 2013 and bring you up to speed on the changes I've made to make myself happier and make it possible to live the best life I can. Before that though, I will give you a bit of an insight into my life to date as a bit of background information on where I've come from.
I hope you enjoy reading what I write and look forward to hearing what you think. Together we can grow and become the best we can be.
