I’m Not Giving Up

Blogging takes a lot of work and it’s really easy to slow down to a point where the work of a blog ultimately fades away. Have you ever stumbled across an interesting blog post and then realize you are looking at something that was posted 3 or 4 years ago? It’s surprising, at least to somebody who is motivated like me, how many of these blogs have not had a post in weeks, months, and often times years. On multiple occasions, its almost happened to me. One thing to remember, however, is that all free blogs never die. If you are using a free blogging site, it will continue to remain in the ecosphere of the web unless you purposefully take it down.

I have been watching a lot of Eric Thomas videos lately. He is a relatively well known motivational speaker but I hadn’t been exposed to him until he showed up on the Ask Gary Vee Show a week or so ago. He is very much an in your face sort of motivator but he got my attention. Just recently, I was watching his video about finishing. This video motivated me to post this blog. It has been way too long and I am not going to start a race without finishing. I am not sure what finishing a blog looks like but I do know that you can’t finish a race if you stop running. So with this post, I have decided to start running again. Maybe finishing just means smiling big and dreaming bigger.

Why I Have Been So Quiet Recently

I know it has been awhile since I have had a blog post. To be honest, at times I have struggled to come up with a new idea about following your dreams. I have, however, not given up on blogging. I have a second blog with no particular topic in which I blog about anything. No topic restraints. This is actually part of gaining some of the skills required to ultimately achieve my dream. See one of the key requirements for a potential business idea I have is to be a good writer. I wish I had the content to post a blog a couple times a week about following your dreams. Unfortunately, I am finding much difficulty in being successful at this task. This does, however, teach me an important lesson about having to be persistent.

Please bear with me as I go through this period of pause. I know that practicing my writing on another blog without constraints will lead to better and more frequent posts on this blog. Dreams take practice, learning, and patience. I am learning about this the hard way but I won’t let this deter me from smiling big and dreaming bigger.

In the Beginning

Here I am again with my third attempt at blogging.  Since this one is focused on achieving your goals and dreams I can’t really blog with any sense of integrity without sticking to it this time.  So who are true dreamers you ask?  How do true dreamers differ from dreamers?  Well it really comes down to one single word… action.  The concept of true dreamers is the result of an idea, goal, or dream colliding with action.

The first time I heard the term true dreamers was in the movie Stand and Deliver which profiles the efforts of a real life teacher named Jaime Escalante.  He called his students, which everybody thought couldn’t succeed, the true dreamers.

So this is my beginning.  My attempt to do what nobody thinks I can… Ultimately make a living inspiring others to meet their goals and dreams.  While this is far from my only dream, we will start there so I have future ideas to blog about.  Also, while I am currently using a free blogging site, as I get further along my posts will be transitioned to my website www.TheTrueDreamers.com.  Until that time, you can find my posts here which I plan to create at least once a week.

Until next time… smile big and dream bigger.
