Ever since my blog on authenticity in October 2014, I have been challenging myself to write out of genuine experience. As I look back on my last few blogs, I see that there is a theme emerging - the challenge of keeping going. I don't know why pursuing my dream seems so hard at times...why it seems so easy to think about giving up. I often question why I am doing this? Why am I still writing?
It doesn't seem to be about success or failure. Although some of my blogs get read more than others, looking back, each one has value to me. I am proud of them.
It is not about a lack of time or energy. Writing about strategy energizes me rather than drains me. The weeks that I post a new blog are better than the weeks that I don't. The more I write, the more I want to write.
At times, it all seems so impractical. I was taught to work hard and to not have my head in the clouds. That being 'too heavenly minded was to be of no earthly good'. Where does strategy fit in that?

I think that it comes down to this - the reason I am pursuing The Daniel Mosaic is because I still have lots to write about. I literally have lists of strategies that I plan to write about. Other strategies are stirring inside of me and will emerge one day. I can't take credit for them because this is the way that I was made.
And what if something I wrote one day made a big difference to somebody. What if it helped them to keep going on their dream just when they were about to give up. I love that thought... And then I realize that I am doing this because it is part of me and I love what I am doing and I don't want to give up and I feel connected and energized again.
