I once got a fortune cookie that said that, and I do think it is good advice. I have spent a lot of time thinking about starting a blog, and wishing that I would just do it, and wondering how to do it (it always seemed like it couldn’t be that difficult), and thinking that I should have just done it already and then I wouldn’t have to worry about still wanting to do it and NOT DOING IT. But no more. All I have to do is take that first step, and then the rest will be easy. Or at least easier.
I have found that many things in life are like this. It is so easy to get stuck on the first step. But you have to take that first step in order to get to all that follows. It is better to do it now, than it is to find excuses not to. It is better to take any step rather than holding yourself back worrying that it is not perfect or not good enough. Progress is better than perfection, and much more attainable.
So I am just doing it. I am not going to think about it too much, or worry about starting a blog in the best possible way that I can do, because the only thing that really matters is actually starting it.
I am far from perfect. I have faced many challenges, and I have tried to learn from those experiences. I want to connect with others to find and share strength, understanding, and support. Some topics I plan to talk about are:
— Weight Loss & Healthy Habits
— Books/Reading/Audio Books
— Running
— Cancer (from the perspectives of both the patient and parent of the patient)
— Encouragement/Inspiration/Support/Positivity
— Cooking/Baking/Vegetarian eating
— Cats
Thank you for reading this. I am glad that you are here for the start of this adventure, and I hope that you will stay with me for the ride. And whatever you are trying to do or where ever you are trying to go, don’t wait – take the first step.
