It’s a New Year and like millions of people around the world, resolutions are swimming in my head. I’ve never been good about following through on my resolutions and I’m simply frustrated and tired with myself for not doing and being better. I’ve been thinking about why I’ve consistently failed and several things come to mind: laziness, busy, fear – all excuses I know, so I won’t belabor any of that.
Starting a blog has been on my to do list for years now and I realize I need to just suck it up, write and put myself out there. During the those same years, I’ve watched friends and family pursue their passions and succeed. They put in the effort and clearly worked hard and I did nothing and understandably have nothing to show for it. I want to change despite all the excuses I have let take over me in the past.
I spent so much time in my head over the past few years about what I would blog about, but never committed. I have no real plan on what this blog is actually going to be, which is the primary reason I named it “GGibberish”. I didn’t want to feel constricted by anything, which I discovered can be paralyzing for me.
If no one reads my blog or if people criticize it or worse yet me, then I guess I’ll have to deal with it, but if my words actually make a positive difference in someone’s life then maybe this is something I should have been doing all along. It’s possible it may not or it may lead me to something else that I should be doing with my life, but the reality is, I will never know unless I actually do it, so here I am and here I go. Will you join me in my journey and shoot me an encouraging word when you see me slack and falter?
(I sure hope so, because I know I need support and I’m not afraid to ask for it anymore!)

It is a new year and I can’t lie and say that I don’t fail at what I set out to do more often than not. I’ve said to myself that “you will never reach your goals unless you do more than fantasize about them”. As we stand current; I am keeping my word to me. I’ll admit some of it isn’t fun but you can get to the end of the road without taking the steps necessary. The upside is that feel of “I did it” even if it’s just a small part; it’s one step closer.

It’s difficult to hold oneself accountable and follow through 100% off the time, but no one is going to do it for you either.
