Social media what’s on your plate ?

 Clarity, discipline, motivation all these words connect back to the thoughts that travel through our mind. As I start the second year of this blog off I wanted to share about some of the blocks I had encountered. 

 People: I’m the first to admit that I let what people think, do or don’t do have way to much power over this blog. I will question whether or not to write this or that. I think fear of success or lack of success pits you right in the middle, the DEAD zone. 

 Anyone who is truly successful believes in what they are doing, they want to succede. 

 In reality the ONLY person holding YOU back is you. Did you know out of the 1200 plus comments on this blog none are negative. In fact 99.9% I would say are actually loving. That’s a pretty cool accomplishment. The only reason I mention it is because it’s exactly something I would overlook and not allow myself to accept it as the positive thing that it is  No I didn’t delete the bad ones SILLY

 Now am I saying turn into some snob jerk like we see all to often ? NO   But there’s been many times I wanted to write about things and didn’t . So instead of looking at how far I have to go. I can look at how far I’ve come.

 I have some really awesome things happening. There only happening because of  all the time and effort I have put into them. Yes I could sit here and feel sorry for myself that I’m not up in Austin with all the people at  #sxsw . I guess I still have a lot of work do to on my people skills. Judging all these people in social media that I come across as Goofs and lamers doesn’t help the cause  BUT we are different what impresses them often doesn’t impress me. The value I put on friendships is definitely different. I don’t go for that HERO worship. I could talk to Bill Gates one minute and a homeless guy the next and that part of me I hope never changes.

 So my question is this WHO are you ? I mean really who are you and what are your goals online I’d like to know.

 I think writing them and claiming them put you one step closer to accomplishing them.

 I was trying to work myself up to doing a show on Ustream kinda like an  informal chit chat for bloggers.

This site is really cool and I was hanging with 3 dudes in this one guys channel and had a great time.

The point I’m trying to make is if your going to BRAKE pass the points your stuck on you have to have the willingness to get motivated. The right place is outthere for all of us. 

I really like this site LIVEVIDEO the chat rooms seem really cool. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I know 5-10 bloggers in one room can be a hell of a time.

 Instead of wishing I was somewhere else and  that the people here in San Antonio were different I’ll bring the world to me  and have fun doing so  

Thanks everyone for the well wishes yesterday. The fact that this blog made it  one year wasn’t a big deal until later that night I said to myself  ” at least 50% of the blogs don’t make it past a year”  so I’m half way HOME

The reason I ask people to write what their goals are etc is because I visit every site that comments on this BLOG 

and I will look to see if there is anything that I can do to help.

Thanks and yes I didn’t mention Twitter or Facebook although I do like the new Facebook  layout and that awesome HIDE button. Please DONT HIDE ME LOL
