Reflections on 500 Days of Blogging: A Journey of Persistence and Growth

Today marks my 500th consecutive blog post. Time really does fly.

I’m proud to have written a blog for 500 consecutive days. There aren’t many things in the last two years that I have done consecutively for that long.

This has shown me that I can do whatever I put my mind to. It has shown me that writing daily, reading daily, or even creating daily is very possible.

In the last 500 days, I’ve experienced ups and downs, deaths and rebirths, triumphs and failures. Through it all, I posted a blog no matter what.

Persistence and resilience do wonders. I know that if I can write a blog for 500 straight days, I can do many other things that I enjoy daily. So that’s what I will do.

I felt like 500 was a good number to stop my streak at. I will continue to post blogs, but they will be more sparingly. They also may be longer at times, consist of photography, and even some will be in essay form.

I’m going to use this 500-day energy for something even bigger. I’ll revisit my 500 blog posts as personal reminders. Each post is like I’m talking to a future version of myself. Or maybe even a future version of you, whoever is reading this.

If you have any ideas of what you’d like from me, I’m all ears. I like new perspectives and new challenges. If you’ve read a blog or two along the way, I appreciate it. The positive feedback I have gotten is what has really fueled me. No matter what I do in life, my intentions will always be to inspire, be a positive influence, and have fun.

Here’s to new endeavors and opportunities.

Motivation, Random Thoughts

Ageless Ambition

The question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is often asked of children, but the idea of growing and evolving throughout our lives applies to adults as well. It’s never too late to pursue our passions or try something new.

We often ask kids that question with confidence and belief that one day they will indeed become whatever they want when they grow up. I think it’s ok to have that same confidence and belief in adults. It seem as if somewhere in life we stop caring what others want to be when they grow up. I think it’s good to still ask those that you care about what they want to be when they grow up.

Sometimes our dreams and aspirations may be limited to lack of growth and maturity. So as an adult, you still may have to “grow up” before you can be who you desire to be.

Continue to grow in life, and also continue to dream big, no matter your age. Continue to ask adults what they want to be when they grow up, and encourage them and inspire them, the say way you would if you asked a kid the same question.

Consistency for 100 Days

bhillay

Today marks the 100th consecutive day that I have written and posted a blog. It seems like day one was just yesterday. Time flies when you’re having fun.

Posting consistently for 100 days has taught me a lot of things about myself. It has shown me that I can be consistent whenever I choose to be. It shows that I am disciplined and can stick to a routine or habit for a long period of time. It shows that I am goal-oriented. I set a goal to post every day, and that’s exactly what I am doing. It shows that I am responsible. I am responsible for my actions, and I hold myself accountable. It shows that I am determined. No matter how my day goes, I know I have enough perseverance to write a blog post.

This 100-day streak shows me a lot of positive qualities about myself. I will use these qualities in other areas of my life as well to help me achieve success. I encourage you to commit to do something every day. You’ll learn about your character and habits, and ultimately become a better person. 100 days down. Many more to go.
