The key to personal development, or any sort of life skill for that matter, is consistency and perseverance, I believe. Unfortunately I’ve been rather slacking in the consistency department lately, when it comes to this blog.
As I mentioned before, I started on my “one-sentence journal”, however that didn’t turn out as easy to keep up as I hoped, but then again I’ve never been much of a journal person. Blogging is my journal.

And to get to the point of this post, so that I don’t just go on blabbing about nothing, there is a few links I’d like to share with you all which I’ve found especially share worthy.

There wass a post from ProBlogger recently which I found especially succinct in explaining my situation on this blog at the moment. When it feels like nobody’s reading your blog

Also, If you haven’t seen the following flash videos from Possibility Virus, I highly recommend you watch them . They’re quite inspirational and highly entertaining

Have fun.

I haven’t been posting here in a long time now. I started off pretty strong, managing to post something everyday or at least once or twice a week, but haven’t really been feeling it.

I’ve been quite really busy working on an online business I co-own, iDRIVE.co.za, and lately and so haven’t found the time or inspiration to publish much here for lack of direction for this blog.

Initially wanted to have a place to store and share my special events in my life, a personal journal, separate from my business life, but also create a personal brand independent of my work.
So I began sharing some moments in my life, like my nephew’s visit from the UK, our church’s annual international evening, some history and secrets about me, my mission of continuous personal development, etc and just to fill the gaps in between when I’ve got nothing to say and to just commit me to write something every day, my favourite quotes, which I’m currently thinking about.

However, this, for me, still seems like it’s not enough, and I have come to realize why.
They’re selfish reasons to blog. I know in some cases it’s a good thing to be selfish, but in this case, it’s just not rewarding for me to blog. Who wants to subscribe to blog soley about me? What value am I adding to people’s lives by writing this stuff online?
If I blog, I should want it to benefit someone, and not only someone as much people as possible.

This leads me to the conclusion that I want this blog to be focused on giving to it’s readers, you, as much valuable information as I, from my experience, can provide.

Resulting questions to ask myself about writing this blog.

What experiences in my live can people benefit from?
What skills can I impart to my readers? How?
What will keep me going?
What am I truly passionate about versus what I’m moderately interested in?
Who do I want to read this blog?
How much time can or will I dedicate to this blog?
How can I ensure I don’t relapse into large gaps in posting, like now?
What habits and distractions are preventing me from making this blog successful?
Is this the right place to do all this, rather than my business blog?

Anyways, it’s something for me to think about. I’ll try to post my answers to those questions soon and determine a more thorough mission for this blog.
