My goal for my “40 Days of Blog Posts” fell short of the 40 day mark. But I wouldn’t call the exercise a failure. I’ve written more these last 40 days than I have in a long time. I’m getting closer to understanding the “resistance” that I face and, as I get closer to understanding it, I also get closer to defeating it. I’ve learned a little bit more about myself, what I want to do, and how I can use that knowledge to define my brand.
In many ways I grew and became more determined, more accountable to myself. In many ways I didn’t grow, in many ways I fell short of my goal. I was defeated by resistance a number of times. A few times I de-prioritized my long term success in favor of short term pleasure. In my defense, the skiing has been incredible and I’m not too sure how much longer conditions like these will be possible. But that's just an excuse, I could have done more.
Although I feel short of the 40 day mark by no small amount, I am proud of what I did put out. Most of it, at least. I’m definitely getting more comfortable with writing. I’m finding my voice, which is one of the things I set out to do. I know how to move forward from here - I’m going to keep making posts. I don’t think I’ll impose the pressure of posting daily on myself, but maybe I can post 3 or 4 times a week. If I can continue to write, my writing can only improve.
