The new year is here and January is running fast. You’ve made some New Year resolutions which are either fading into the deeper recesses of your mind or are in full gear. Whichever the case, I’m with you for I have been there and done that.
Writing a blog has been on my ” To Do List ” since 2011 when I first came across the concept, along with developing an online portfolio, shedding 10 pounds and the list goes on.But for whatever reason, life happens, I’ve never started and none of my friends have kept me accountable though I’ve said I would. To be fair though, they have repeatedly told me that they are patiently waiting for my memoirs/autobiography for believe me , I like you and so many others have STORIES to tell.
Anyways, back to the point, I’ve finally published my blog- It’s A Learning Life -Lessons in the Journey Towards Personal & Professional Development http://itsalearninglife.wordpress.com. And trust me, you’d never believe the amount of time and effort it took to get started . Hats off to the established Bloggers out there, I now have a greater appreciation for what you do and the courage it takes to just put yourself out there.
But I’ve resolved, my blog’s debut isn’t perfect, it doesn’t have to be . In fact, the content, style and format of my blog may change and evolve as I do- and I’m ok with that. It simply reflects my first step, my best effort at this time, and my commitment to meet one of my personal and professional goals for 2014. So if you like me have been putting off a goal or project for some area(s) of your life – personal, career, education, financial, health , spiritual etc., my advice to you would be to – just do it. Start, neither you nor your efforts have to be perfect, your focus may shift a bit, you may slip up but stay the course and do it.
Wherever you are in your journey, whatever the situation, the level you’re at, go ahead and find your list of “things to do for 2014” and start. If you don’t have one, it’s not too late to go make one, you’re even entitled to dream, but right after you read, comment, like and share.
What are your goals for 2014? Please share, I’d like to hear from you.

I didn’t ask for much for 2014…just want to stay in the gym at this pace till December 31 🙂
Well Bucka, you’re the only person I know that had- and still have his own “Cheering Squad”. I can hear them….cant you?
Great job getting started. My goal for 2014 is to take lessons learnt from 2013 and prior, and keep moving forward…always!
Great to hear ot Sir Matope- “cut and go thru”.
I am extremely motivated by your effort to hold yourself accountable for a promise you made to yourself. Like you, I have promised myself some major career changes for 2014, and though it’s very scary, I am proceeding full speed ahead with running my own practice. I like what you said about the start doesn’t have to be perfect. I can totally relate. And like you, I too need to lose 10 lbs. Lol. Looking forward to more life lessons, and more encouragement.
Keep up the good work. Kodus for a great start and for putting yourself out there. It really takes a lot if courage.
Thanks Kash for your endorsement. And as you know, there is no perfect moment to do what we think or dream to do-we just need to step out in faith and do it.
So you’re not going to finish what you started
I’m Doing It❣
Well? ☺️
