The 365 Day Marathon
Sometimes it seems as though you fail before you even have a chance to start, and that was a little bit like how I was feeling earlier today.
I’ve been sick as a dog since Jan 2nd. Day two of the new year arrived and I struggled to even get out of bed. It’s been a struggle to stay excited about my goals when the first week is almost over and five of those days I’ve been laid up in bed.
Then I looked at my stats and my Medium Partner Program page and two things hit me.
First, the measly amount I’ve made in the last five days made me really question, is this worth it? Is it worth my time and energy to keep writing on Medium? Then looking at my stats, I noticed that both my views and reads are slightly up over the last five days compared to last month.
Then to top it all off, I came across an article by Shannon Ashley. One of the reasons I like reading her posts is because she doesn’t sugar coat it. She is real and motivating, and when I read one of her latest posts, things came together for me.
