Blog For Myself
When I first began blogging, I had no plan or purpose for what eventually would become a habitual practice. Initial entires would by occupied with mundane accounts of my life that provided little or any value to me or people in my immediate circle. The approach was equivalent to tossing a dart and not knowing where the board was let alone the bulls-eye. There were no grounds to build from. I had gathered all the tools I needed to operate a blog but not a justification to update it.
In a recent Tweet, Michael said “The best videos/photos/books/blogs are created before they are made.” In agreement, I responded, “the purpose for each should be established way before in order to validate their existence” and it’s always been that nugget of valued direction I’ve felt my space has been missing at times.
Going on 3 years of sharing my opinions online, I’ve come to learn one principle that remains permanent. You can’t always please everyone with what you have to say. If that’s the case, then why should one continue to devote time to posting anything you ask? For me, it’s been because of Jonathan’s philosophical line of thought in his colophon as to why he does what he does that rekindle my enjoyment of blogging and re-infused purpose to what I love doing:
I write this blog for myself primarily, but also for others in the hope that just one thing I say might change the way people think about the world that we are privileged enough to live in.
