Five by Five || My Quest for Greatness

For the last while I have been back and forth with lots of different stuff. Studying, family life, but the general theme is wanting to move forward. But do you know what the hardest thing is about trying to move forward? It’s knowing where to start. Sometimes the journey for self-improvement starts with the decision to move forward.

Janathon 2016- Day 5

There is no point in exercising or trying to get fit if your diet doesn’t reflect what you are doing. For most people at this time of the year, they will be regretting those drunken announcements that they are quitting smoking, running 5k a day, or simply eating healthy. I feel your pain. But while some people are starting to slip back into old habits already, I tried to kick it up a bit with some cooking to go with my running everyday for Janathon.

Too chicken for YouTube

Recently I was toying with the idea of starting a YouTube channel and vlogging (or video blogging) on there. I’ll be honest, I’ve heard the term “YouTube millionaire” thrown about so much I was more than tempted to try to join the club. I debated with myself the reasons why I should or should not. What if I’m talking and people can’t understand a word I’m saying with my Northern Irish accent? I don’t know how to edit videos, can I even do it on a laptop? Or should I just skip the editing thing and make it raw, untouched, and honest? But what am I going to talk about? The same things I talk about on here? Does anyone even watch videos like that on there?

Practice makes perfect

If you have been following along with the blog recently you will have noticed that I did start posting a lot but then it sort of fell away due to family issues. Because practise makes perfect, every chance I get to sit and write, I take it. What I’m hoping to achieve by doing this is building a body of work which improves over time, hopefully quickly. Most people who blog have a set day to publish a new post but I wanted to pick up the pace for myself. If you read my previous post about wanting to improve myself you will probably have guessed by now my reasons for bombarding you all with blog posts.

I want to force myself and push my boundaries like an athletic individual who trains everyday. The big difference is you guys get to witness my transition from pants to amazing. But it takes time, and having a public place to display this change is scary. I know I need to improve and I know that forcing myself to do it here is probably pretty stupid. I could work offline and get better away without being watched but what fun is that? I also what to show everyone that with a bit of practise, you can excel in your chosen field. There is no shame in being awful at something when you start out, some of my very first work was complete rubbish that is unfit to be seen. And even on here, my earlier posts are not my finest work. I could delete some of my early work and pretend that I have always been wonderful but I want you guys to see the change. I also want you all to enjoy the journey with me and see me grow.

It’s not easy doing a blog post everyday. I don’t have all week to muse over a piece so sometimes it might be really short and quite raw. Sometimes I lack material, sometimes I’m tired, but pushing myself and my brain to do it everyday is the the best work out I got possibly get.
