So, I was all gung-ho about finally committing to writing two blog posts a week. One on Monday (which I finished!) and one on Thursday. Well, due to some paint spilling on my shoes a few months ago and a whole other story about me having to borrow shoes from my friend and a lot of driving, I was unable to write a post yesterday. I like to take responsibility, but sometimes we just have to accept some things just take a little more effort.
I was thinking about how I’m really not spontaneous at all. I need everything planned and worried about all the way from the first second to the last. I can tell you what I am doing weeks in advance and that’s the way I’ve always preferred it. Something about deadlines and having to get something done really helps me prioritize and actually get things done! Very zen.
So when I said “Allright! Two posts a week! This is definitely more than doable!” The gears in my mind started working.
So imagine the smile on my face when I realized Thursday night that a blog was not gonna be written. My first thought was “Well since I don’t have that many readers I may just as well wait till next Monday….” But no! Everything depends on our self-discipline and our ability to finish what we’ve started. Following through no matter what has always been one of the most important part of any successful endeavor.
So I decided to write this blog post right here. Because goals are meant to be finished. And even if there’s a little temporary setback, the most important thing is that we go on and complete what we set out to do.
“whatever it takes, for as long as it takes”
so yes next Monday and next Thursday, expect new blogs. hopefully !

Rocky: You did it
I am a planner too and also aim to get out 2 posts a week. It really can be a lot of work, but as you mentioned, when you hit your goals, you do feel great about it. I think what you mentioned about having a good perspective on temporary setbacks was important and great advice. We are always going to run into challenges and things that may throw us off schedule, and the best thing we can do is to learn how to accept things for what they are and keep moving forward. We can really set ourselves up to make the most progress by bringing the right perspective and energy to the things that come our way.
