Finding the Passion to Blog

As a blogger, have you ever experienced days when there is simply no excitement to blog anymore? Have you ever felt or thought – Enough of this crap. I don’t need to do it anymore. It’s just a waste of time. Who would want to read my posts anyway?

 

And to paraphrase the title of one of Richard Feynman’s books: Why would anyone care about what I think?

 

And indeed, on the same vein, why would anyone care what I had for lunch? Why should my life be interesting to others?

 

I’ve mulled on these thoughts for days on end. And I realized that If I would continue blogging at all, then I must blog about ideas that I am passionate about.

 

Ideas that can give others a refreshing view of things.

Ideas that inspire.

Ideas that can move others to change the way they see the world, or change themselves.

Ideas that will be drive me to change for the better.

 

I’m not saying that these are the things that bloggers should write about. I’m just saying that this is the direction that I would like my blog to head to. Transformation will take a long process, but the time to start is NOW.

 

I’m passionate about my role as a parent and my work as a researcher. I’m passionate about making a difference in other people’s lives.

 

Enough of self-promotion. Ideas are here to stay.
