Let me explain...
Personal: This blog will help me improve personally by allowing me to view my actions and interests from a different perspective. If all of my posts start to be about drinking cheap scotch till I'm sleeping on the bathroom floor I'll know that something in my life is out out line. Hopefully over time I'll see equal posts towards each of the different priorities. Sure some topics will be more fun to write about than others and some aspects of life require more daily actions than others so they will naturally receive more recognition but over time hopefully this blog will reflect a life that is balanced and moving in a positive direction.
How do you keep you priorities balanced? Do you establish a plan or simply fly by the seat of your pants? Let me know - post your comments below!
Career: No, I'm not delusional into thinking this blog will turn into a big money making career and I'll be the next jet-setting blogger like Perez Hilton. Writing is a very important skill and helpful no matter what career choice you take. (I highly doubt anyone has been held back for being too literate.) Recently I was selected for a temporary promotion in my employer's Public Affairs Department. When applying for the position I became aware that I have very limited examples of written work. Sure, I've written some for my current position but most, if not all, are very instructive in nature. Clearly, I need to find a way to expand my skill set. By writing this blog I will gain experience writing about a variety of topics and hopefully improve my writing skills over time. A skill that could ultimately improve my career.
Life is all about taking advantage of opportunities. And it takes consistent work to be in position to do so. What actions are you taking to be best prepared to accomplish for your goals? Let me know - you never know who might read and be able to help you out!
Hi Jay, it is good to see that you're making your mark in cyberspace.
