I have some goals that I know I can achieve, I just have an obstacle at the moment that I have to see myself past. That’s a great comment about faith and outlook.

One way to think about this is to look where you are now. Can you start your own blog? (obviously you can because you have one..) But rewind 7 years ago and ask that of yourself back in 1999...Can Lyndon of 1999 start a blog? That's where people get tripped up in their belief systems. To me, I'd have to say there's really no difference in Lyndon 2006 and Lyndon 1999 - somewhere along the line you gained knowledge, took some specific steps and before you knew it, you had your own blog. @Andrew, sounds like you are well on your way :)

I've been working on this concept to keep myself writing and developing my own projects, except I stay up an hour later - I'm not a morning person and don't find myself being as productive at the beginning of the day as I am at the end. My blog was started with a similar idea. I was constantly sharing information with people and giving advice one-on-one. I decided to create a place to capture those bits of information and spend the extra 10% effort to write down what I said or did. Later, I'll have a collection of writing that can be the foundation for other work. There are now over 45 entries written since the beginning of the year. Thanks for the great post.
