Ready to Ride

Hi. My name is Mark Long. Making the decision to start blogging here had been delayed many months because it is such a huge commitment. I bought the domain name last year and until today have not posted. I hate to start things without finishing them. And a blog is never finished - at least until you are finished with life I guess. Many of my friends and family are prolific bloggers and that has inspired me to start.

Writing is a paralyzing process for me. I am a much better editor than writer. It is easier for me to find a better way of saying something that is already written than starting from scratch. So putting even a couple of paragraphs down takes an incredible amount of tiem as I stew about what I am trying to say and worrying about making gramatical, spelling or logical errors.

My main focus will be recording my activities so I can track progress on my goals and remember what I was doing today at a time in the future when I would have otherwise forgotten my activities of today. I also will be incoporating my gratitude journal into my blog. Finally I will track the progress I am making toward achieving my goals.

For the last couple of years I have been meeting every Thursday morning with a group of associates that gather as a “master mind alliance” to discuss and encourage each other achieve our various goals. It has grown to be an important part of my week. Journaling is the big goal I have set for June and I want to prove to myself and to my “The Secret” meeting group that I can follow through.
