Title: What Will You Do?

Another blog posted weeks or months a part from one entry to the next. Doesn't sound like a good business model when you're told to keep up with the content, let them know who you are, and begin building that long-lost coveted audience you seek. Makes me a bit of a failure, right? Around some campfires and on specific strips of non-skid I would be a failure, not living up to expectations, falling beneath the regression line, or leaving more to be desired.

While it is hard to build an argument against these truth speakers, it is only their perspective. I have much more to offer this world, and that is being divided many different ways.

Where this post is not to drive myself into the dirt any more than my self deprecating awareness of the situation would like, what I am wanting to convey
to anyone who reads this is offer a word of encouragement to keep going. You will go through tough times.

They do not last, but tough people do. You will reach mountains you cannot see the peaks of and valleys which do not have a bottom. There will be trenches so wide nothing in your mind will allow to cross. There will be periods of time that will last forever and the slick road to your destination will be lined with mud not allowing you any traction. This is all coming from a perspective of the first day of arrival.

There is a lot of difference between "Day One" and "One Day". The truth is you will probably suck at something when you first start it. Whether it knowing how to make friends or learn accounting. Day One will turn into Day Two, but only if you allow it. This is something I admittedly struggle with, the conversion of Day One to Day Two. How quickly the excuses come, and I borrow deeper into my self-made pit of denial that the situation isn't as bad as I thought it was.

I believe it was everyone "most controversial author Ayn Rand who said, You can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality". How does this align with today post? Let take the Sconnie Sailor idea for example. I can evade putting in the hard work and do what is necessary to get this little dream off the ground, mostly in the form of excuses, but I cannot evade the reality that no one will care about what I have to say unless I come out and say it. What will you do when times are tough and the outlook appear dim? What will you do when the load is too heavy and you can't move another inch? What will you do when the barriers in your way are within your own head? Convert that One Day to Day One.
