Two reasons why i blog?

Over 6 months in blogging  and I'm clueless! But I never had imagined that starting and continuing a blog would be so complicated. So far I'm struggling with everything and even tried to complete a project, shameful. Would you believe that I get tips every time I open up my inbox. Reading stories of how successful they are and so forth. Why am i over here in Wonderland trying to put bits and pieces together. 

So I decided to ask myself this question below.

What is my meaning for blogging?

Blogging to me is expressing my ideas in a written form with the vision on helping someone. It's a hard task for me to master after all, I  fairly  just started and trying to developed my skills. With this blog i have to work out what the directions  are, in order to achieve. It provide a strong foundation for building and showcasing with coins to gain from it ..that's if your willing to become strategically inclined. 

Then I asked myself what are my reason(s) for blogging?

First I was telling my self that is easy money, I was so wrong. Then it had me rethinking my steps (if I can only find the right rhythm to move). I quickly started to browse through the net wondering how those individuals reach to successful and the struggles.

Here below I will briefly explain my reason for blogging!

Coins For Thoughts

Coins is a sort of payment for whatever i have to offer and thoughts are the sole ideas of things i dream of.  Happy to say blogging is coins for my thoughts whether I am paid or not. Thou i may not be paid with cash or coins it gives exposure to the wider world in communicating effectively and a possibility of obtaining a job. For me that would be a plus in development or building blocks to climb on.

Building blocks

Everyone knows when you are  manually building its hard work and requires a strong mind  especially in my case ( alone on your journey). That is why  blogging is similar to building blocks everything take stages and patience, well at least for me. When I first started I was overwhelmed in joy of starting a blog I didn't do any research or formulated a plan to operate carrymewithyou. My thoughts was to make some coins on the side but that requires skills in Stats (numbers and people) just like what Mr.Grey said in his interview for the 50 shades of grey movie. That's why I'm actually still here for a  learning experience. The other block is being able to communicate with effectiveness to my audiences.

To me  blogging  helps me with developing and showcasing  my shy talents that was stored away and It gives me a foundation to be better at writing.So far the journey is complicated and challenging. My final thought for you is that some people states "dancing is confidence well I am hoping to find confidence within writing'.

Do you also find blogging to be a challenge sometimes?

Facing It |Fears

written by Phea Welcome to my blog Carry me with you. Here a short post on facing fear.

Talking about fears while dealing with it.

Fear is a strong feeling that temporarily phases our mind, oh or better yet pauses it to be frightfully in the situation. It happens a lot especially when you're around that fear. Mostly, when the senses are attached, for me it's the feel and sometimes the sight. For some reason, I can't come to facts that it can be there without you even realizing the presence and thought of being a failure or rejected and it shuns the ideas of your next moves. I know that it's hard to face fear; it only makes your situation harder when you can't. The greatest thing is to be strong and see it through cause after all you'll be a little stronger and wiser in having dealt with a small situation in facing what scares you. It can be Taking a plunging dip in the ocean off a pier r stating how you feel about a past moment but these are called willing power to be strong. I myself had to succumb to facing many fears; centipede, injection, and failures, even mentioning the thoughts that depress me to individuals. Yh I told them how I felt and even describe the feeling so there's a mutual understanding! And guess what? I felt slightly pleased and proud of myself in dealing with it. There's never any confirmation that of it being completely vanished i.e. the fear, it still causes a shiver in my body but reduces in every circumstance. By speaking up it gives me the mindfulness of being proud and motivation in standing up for me. It's time enough for you to start facing your fears, remove the mask and just stop pandering too much on the; if's. Explore, live life and become you with safety rails. Life is short and there is always a new adventure to seek and when better to start but now! Are you willing? via Blogger http://ift.tt/2p2PBoY
