Here we are starting a new year. 2010 was a great year, and as I reflect back on it, I have been thinking about what I have learned, and what I have for goals in 2011. I don't really believe in resolutions, as they are often abandoned after falling short of ones expectations.
How can I meet my goals for the year? Persistence. Nothing happens overnight. Despite what we are marketed, success in reaching any goal takes planning, dedication, and passion. Over the past year, I have been inspired by so many to keep plugging away at writing, learning, and contributing.
At one point, I had thought that blogging was becoming too commonplace. It seemed like everyone was doing it. I had made the incorrect assumption that I could not contribute anything new by blogging myself. I was proved wrong. My passion for content and putting my own unique spin on things has been revitalized by several bloggers and friends. Their continued support and willingness to share tips and lend their insightful comments have been so inspiring.
I'd like to share a few blogs of those that have inspired me. I have chosen these blogs for several reasons. These blogs have succeeded by lending insight into how technology, finances, entertainment, and other things have affected them personally. In my opinion, the best bloggers have a strong passion for building community, and offer a look into their personal lives.
Five blogs to watch:
- DamondNollan.com - Damond's blog offers a great blend of commentary on technology, trends, pop culture, and personal reflections. Community-focused and top-notch.
- Li'l Bytes - Marianne offers us a look at her passion for social media, entertainment, and human nature. I especially enjoy her posts on wellness and gaming.
- SocialMediaWannabe - Todd offers insightful posts on social media, entertainment, and society.
- Wayne Sutton - Wayne is the go to guy for what is hot in social media and technology, as well as happenings around the triangle region of North Carolina.
- The Anti-Social Media - Jay Dolan's great site of social media satire and humor.
Those are just a few blogs that I frequent. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I aim to increase my output of content in 2011 and offer quality to those that visit here. and I'm excited to see what is around the corner! Thanks for reading.
