Daisy's Doubts

We all have days when our “can’t do it” voice is a bit louder than we’d like. For instance, listen for a moment to my inner voice talking…

“You can’t write?!!”
“There are so many blogs out there – why would anyone be interested in reading yours?”
“What makes you the subject matter expert?”
“You only just started one blog, and now you’ve got 2 active, and a 3rd on the way?”

Wow, eh. What was I thinking? Who am I kidding? Why am I doing this? And those poor people who are reading this – what must they think? Oh dear. But wait, let’s delve deeper into those thoughts.

Why in the world am I doing this? Because I enjoy it! If I have an expectation that tons of people are going to come and read this, then, I might be disappointed, but if I keep my expectations reasonable, then there will be no disappointment. I write because it makes me happy and I get motivated by making a positive impact on people’s lives.

I started Answer Starts With You a few months ago as just a personal place to put my thoughts. I put it out in the Blogosphere in March 2008. A few days ago, I started Fitness Starts With You. In a few short days, I noticed visits from India, Argentina, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and of course my home country Canada. To think I went from zero to something in a few short days is really a fantastic feat considering all I wanted to do was just write.

So thank you for coming. Thank you for reading. If you’re enjoying this, please write comments, notes, feedback and forward the link to others. Just remember the more you read, the more I'll write.

P.S. Plus, look how I’ve learned to include photos, embed links that open in new windows and other stuff I couldn’t do just a few days ago!

Hi Daisy,

While there may be millions of other fitness and life philosophy blogs out there, this will be the only one with your unique voice. Besides, if there's room for another coffee shop, reality show or social networking site, then surely there's enough space on the web for another blog;)
