Who says go? A decade ago, I taped a hard copy of this blog post by Seth Godin to the back of my desk under my computer screen so I would read it frequently. Why has it stuck with me? When I read it the first time, I thought – that’s me! And who I want to be! I also want more people around me like that. So I taped it to my desk as a reminder to keep striving.
Happy 2024! Matt Mullenweg’s blog inspired me to write this – my first blog. Happy Birthday Matt! Thanks for saying go! Keep going!
Did you know that when you start a new blog on WordPress.com, Hello World! is the default opening? I love it and kept it for many reasons. Most importantly, it conjures up fun memories of when I learned to program, and I am still a nerd at heart even though I don’t code today.
Why didn’t I start sooner? I was afraid. The quote, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” by Franklin D. Roosevelt has been popping in my head frequently. I love things that are enduring and helpful and want to build more of those.
What are your strategies to reach your aspirations and overcome fears? I’d love to learn from you. Let’s go! Let’s do more in 2024!
