Blogging - Passion or a chore?
Blogging - Passion or a chore?
Writing one blog a month is what I had committed to myself. I managed to do that for quite some time and then I lost my commitment to this blog writing.
Then, I told myself – “If I missed one month, I will write 2 blogs the next month and make up for the blank that I drew the last month.”
I started writing on this basis. Slowly, I skipped 2 months without blogging.
I said to myself – “That’s ok, I will make up next month by writing 3 blogs”
My targets kept increasing and what I started as a passion turned into a painful chore.
I then realised what I was doing. I started to cheat myself by making wrong commitments .If I make a wrong commitment to myself then how will I ever make commitments to others and honour my word?
Now, this is what is bugging me. I hope to correct myself and start writing blog every month. This is a new beginning…
Happy Dussehra to you all.

A plan is a plan... deviation is a natural corollary to any plan. As long as it's a personal hobby and others are not waiting, I think it's okay to 'skip'. Not just for blogs, could be for any other hobby.
ReplyDeleteWell, Arvind. Passion is something that doesnt need any "external" push, it needs "internal" drive..
