I can’t believe it’s been a year since I have posted anything on my blog. I felt very passionate about it at the beginning, but somehow I must have forgotten how important it was to me. Once I read the prompt from Delightfully Tacky’s blog post on what is keeping her from achieving her dreams, I realized it was the perfect way for me to get back on the blogging track.
There are many roadblocks that are keeping me from achieving my dreams. For one, I am not completely sure what my dreams or goals are. I have so many that, one day a certain goal will be the most important to me while the next day it’s something completely different.
My goals feel quite lofty to me. I have a true dreamer’s dreams. I want to write a book and get it published. I want to become an advanced yogi. I want to have a popular YouTube channel. I want to become proficient at playing the ukulele. And I want to have a successful blog. These are just the biggest of my dreams, I have plenty of smaller ones.
I know I am capable of accomplishing these dreams of mine, but I also know that I am in my own way. I am scared of success and failure. If I succeed, then I have to keep on succeeding. There is a lot of pressure that comes along with success. And being scared to fail speaks for itself. I am, also, quite lazy. I have a full time job now so once I get off work the last thing I want to do is work some more. That is the biggest hurdle I have to get over to reach the finish line. I have slowly started working to get over it, but I do have set back days.
Since I am aware that I am in the way of my dreams, I have been taking baby steps to fix my problem. I have made myself decide what goal is the most important to me right now. And being me, I didn’t just pick one, I decided on two: blogging and becoming an amazing yoga instructor. Then, I decided that after work I must devote a little time to at least one of these daily.
I have a long way to go, but I know I will never get there if I don’t let go of my insecurities and laziness.
