Most people are their own worst enemies. But life is for living, and our senses and souls have to be challenged to me most remembered, and to grow.Hope Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319310910383413396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-19825996226813737512013-10-31T06:43:28.215-05:002013-10-31T06:43:28.215-05:00No truer words have ever been written.

Doing whatever you love and pushing yourself past your comfort zone is indeed what makes you come alive.<br /><br />Sometimes when I have only 30 minutes or so to get a blog post done I wonder if I should really post it since I didn't have time for a true second draft or hard proofreading. I have to tell myself to publish it anyway because my blog is about helping someone else do something they didn't think they could. It's not truly about the grammar or spelling. Thanks for your post!Karenhttp://www.runningwithkaren.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-88839198837036415532013-10-31T05:25:46.885-05:002013-10-31T05:25:46.885-05:00Amen, Hope!

If you do nothing, you cause nothing, and nothing happens."<br /><br />All of us who have the urge to write want to be heard. We want our voices to spread and sing to someone besides ourselves. And if you try to squelch that deep desire to communicate, you're boxing yourself up and shelving your soul. We have to forge with courage into the world where there will be crickets and critics. It's a walk of faith. And I've found on my journey that I can count on a word of encouragement coming in just when I thought no one was reading. (That was after years of writing alone and quietly.) But now that my babies are out in the world, they're slowly finding their people. And I don't take a single reaction for granted. <br /><br />I loved your spin on the unsubscribe story. I think that positivity you have and zeal for learning and self-improvement is why you are such a success.<br /><br />LynLyn Fairchild Hawkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308501118724743991noreply@blogger.com
