a) You've had a blog for almost a year,
b) You'd intended to post at least once a week, and
c) You've actually only published two posts
All of the above apply to me, unfortunately.
I started this blog with the sole purpose being to share my opinions, insights, thoughts, etc on pretty much everything I know about. That went well, as you can clearly see. I'm sure at least some of you can relate to my issue? See, the problem is that I'm the type of person who fails by default (in the wonderful words of J.K. Rowling) because I don't try. I don't try because I don't want to fail. Serious catch 22 situation here. However, i'd still rather fail by not trying than trying and failing anyway because that's just more hurtful, I guess. I see it as at least if I don't try, I don't know what would have happened. When you actually try and don't succeed, it's just so painful and discouraging (to me, at least).
I'm so envious of people who try and fail time and time again and never give up. They're the people who will most likely be successful in their ventures, not someone who doesn't try because they're scared they won't be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Having a 0% succession rate just because I haven't tried is just as bad as having a 0% succession rate because I have. People who fail learn from their mistakes. I've learned that my comfort zone is extremely comfortable but so boring! So here I am, writing my first (published) blog post since January and I'm excited about it.
Here's to you, sitting (or standing) right there, reading this blog post about unfulfilled wishes and dreams, hopefulness about trying.. and not being afraid of failing. I hope you fulfil all of your wishes and dreams and try without being scared.
Love,
Eloise
