I've always wanted to make a blog.
And I have. Once. A Loooong time ago. I tried to commit to it, but I felt like blogging about my life only, doesn't seem like such a useful or fun activity. It felt dull, boring and... repetitive? So I gave it up. But still, I wanted to make a blog.
Why the persistence? Killing 2 birds with 1 stone
I love doing activities that not only benefit me, but is interesting and engaging as well. Blogging...is like having your own personal space to let out your opinions, express your interests, and just generally be you. I feel like this will benefit me a lot, because there's something I've always wanted to change: my ugly passion of NOT writing.
I want to become better with my words, sprinkle some fancy vocabulary here and there, so that I will eradicate my hatred for writing. Because somewhere, deep inside, I want to LOVE writing.
However, learning from experience, I don't want to write JUST about my life. I want my blog to be useful to others as well and to give out knowledge and information. I've been inspired by blogs such as productivemuslim.com and eatyourkimchi.com, who provide interesting and useful information to all its readers.
But...sticking to one subject? I didn't like that. Because the thing is, I'm interested in everything. I'm interested in music, travel, kpop, education, becoming more productive, becoming a better muslim, books, movies and just general information.
And then it hit me. How about I write about ALL these things? Sure it would be messy and quite underdeveloped, but perhaps through this, I can find a passion to WRITE about ONE topic.
Well, why don't I wait instead so I can think over what my blog should be about? I'm tired of waiting anymore. My blog will never magically come alive if I just sat and waited. Nothing happens when people wait. We have to stand up and take our chance right now.
So here I am. tl;dr My blog will be about ANYTHING I find or deem interesting. Most likely it would be about self-improvement, Islam, travel or kpop but I'll sprinkle a few tidbits here and there,as well as my life.
Waaahh I'm so excited! I hope I'll be able to make this one change in my life, and I hope that when you go through my blog, I hope you too will also find new knowledge.
Oh and as a last note, I want to share this recent article about changing our habits. It turns out, goals are not always necessary to make a change. The most important thing are these 4 principles of change:
1. Start very small.
2. Do only one change at a time.
3. Be present and enjoy the activity (don’t focus on results).
4. Be grateful for every step you take. (taken from: http://zenhabits.net/4/)
InsyaAllah, I will be able to follow these principles in regards to my blog and..well...everything else in life :D
Peace, Salam!
