Nobody's Perfect

All right, enough about my Journey to a Better Blog saga. It didn't quite turn out like I had hoped. Oh, I'm not settling. I'm still going to work on it. I'm just not going to bore you with the details anymore. Your welcome.

That kind of brings me to what I was hinting at yesterday...the conversation I had about being successful...

On Wednesday night, a bunch of us grown-ups were sitting around talking, when Macy came in and whispered in my ear, "Ask everyone what their job is." After we all went around and said what we did (my answer was 'Mom'), I asked everyone what they would like to do if they could have any job they wanted, which led into a discussion about limitations, reality, and the "all-mighty paycheck". What really got me thinking though was when someone said, "People who are successful at doing what they want to do in life don't talk about it, they just do it". Hmm. Do you think that's true? I guess to some degree, if they ONLY talk about it, but...

When I find a successful blogger, who is also a small business owner, I always go into their archives and read their first couple of posts. I'm looking for their struggles and imperfections. I'm looking for reassurance that it CAN be done. I'm looking for reality, not polished-over professionalism. I want to know how they got from where they were, to where they are now. I want them to talk about it.

We are all only human after all. Nobody is perfect. We all have flaws. Sometimes we have dreams that make it, and sometimes we have dreams that don't, but we don't have anything unless we try. I think the only real limitation, is thinking that we have limitations.
