The Journey Still Continues
This is not a spambot blog post. It’s really me - Al, at 7P Productions. After a long hiatus, I’m posting an update.
Are You Back to Blogging Again?
Sort of. You see, in my efforts to blog about achieving goals and dreams, I was actually getting further away from my own goals and dreams. This blog originally was created to track my journey on becoming a writer, and now I’m picking up on that journey again. We’ll see where this goes.
Why Did You Stop Blogging?
In all honesty, I never really made a conscientious effort to stop. In my last blog entry, I talked about winning some contracts and doing well in spite of the economic downturn. Well, when you show that you are competent with your work, people will expect even more from you. I simply got caught up with all that, and I got very busy, very quick. I was hoping to come back to write about how to be successful in business during an economic downturn (which I may eventually do), but I simply was too busy with all the new contract work that needed to get done.
Quite frankly, I’m glad that I did not write that blog because the truth was that I was actually failing. I lost track of what was really important to me and what my ultimate goals were. My work was consuming my time with family and friends, my stress level increased significantly, and my dreams of becoming a writer kept getting pushed aside. I didn’t intentionally stop blogging, but simply told myself I’ll pick it up again in a couple of weeks or so. However, if I had continued blogging, I would have perpetuated the hypocrisy of achieving goals and dreams. My short term goals were short-circuiting my long-term dream.
Why Are You Blogging Again?
So that my journey on being a writer can start again. So that my goals can be aligned with my dream again. So that the remaining precious days of my life can never be wasted again.
Welcome back, glad to see that you are “back in the saddle”. I am happy for you that you are doing well, and look forward to some more great content from you.
I will have some fun new things happening with my little biz shortly, and some big things in 2011. Please stay tuned, and in touch, I’d love to collaborate with you again.
Hi Stephen - thanks for everything. You were around during my first blog posts!
Yes, 2011 will be a great year. I’m hopeful that the project you got going will do well. Good luck Stephen
I know what you mean…happened to me in 2005
Hi there. My name is Cinderella Kelley-Kroh. I came to your site from the Personal Development Kaleidoscope List on Priscilla McIntire’s Website. Priscilla is my sister and a great one, at that. Anyway, I have started my own Personal Development Website. I was wondering if you would have the time to give me a bit of advice ? How would you make the site better in order to generate traffic? Priscilla has told me that you are included in the PDK list because you are an expert in your field of personal growth and development. I enjoyed your insight regarding Any good ideas are welcomed. I enjoy your postings. Thank you, Cinderella
Hi just started reading your blogs and to be honest I like it. Now that your back, can’t wait to read more of those interesting blogs.
thanks a lot
I’m glad you have the zeal again to continue blogging about personal development resources. Actually, I found your blog in the personal development list of the blog I just visited previously. I’m also in the personal development category, so I love to read the wisdom you share in your blog.
The first sentense … you mentioned bots… is you blog powered by auto submitted posts?
It’s nice to take a break because you get to take a step back and get a bird eye view on where you’re going and where you want to be.
Have your sights on where you want to be and develop a plan. Stick to the plan and tweak it as you go. You’ll get there…it just takes time.
Good luck!

Thank you for coming back. But I still wonder how your life is during a break.
Hello there Al. Your story is not actually unique. There are still many people out there who are in pursue of their dreams and while doing it, their attention gets diverted until the time comes that they were not able to achieve it. It is quite amazing that you were able to realize it soon and made steps to go back to what your heart desires, which is writing. More power.
I think that you are absolutely right. The precious hours spent with your family are unique, and work can never be the most in your life. You’re giving me an excellent idea about all this issues. I shall create a blog and begin a new life.
