Let me explain. I learned along time ago that I am good at ideas buuuttttt&#8230;.. I lack in the follow through department. Let say I have a great idea for a project like&#8230;. making a Christmas wreath (just\u00a0 hypothetically). I would get the idea. Plan out how I might make it and even go out and get the supplies to do it. Then I would get home and&#8230;. Well shall we say I have all the makings of a wreath sitting in a bag wait to be put together (oh well there&#8217;s always next year). You see where I have the problem is the beginning of creating. Up until that point my project hasn&#8217;t failed. I don&#8217;t like to fail (not that any one does). But as soon as I BEGIN to glue things or build things I step towards failing. I realize that it could also be a step towards success but know one knows until I try. So I get stuck. This isn&#8217;t always the case. I have done lots of things and succeeded but yet this feeling is there. So for me the hardest part about beginnings is the point of no return. The point where I can no longer deny that I&#8217;ve began.<\/p>\n<p>I do sometimes take that step even if it takes a little while. This blog is a perfect example of that. I actually started it in August of 2010, but it wasn&#8217;t until November of 2011 more then a full year later that I finally took that step and began blogging on a regular basis. I was afraid to fail but since beginning and making that commitment to myself I feel I have succeeded and have continued strong and am now in my third month of blogging. In the beginning I needed reminders from <a href=\"http:\/\/rebekahmitchell.ca\/\">Rebekah<\/a> to get my daily blog done. But now I am able to stand on my own. I owe <a href=\"http:\/\/rebekahmitchell.ca\/\">Rebekah<\/a> a huge thanks for helping me with this beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the hardest part about a beginning?
