”If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals.” - Robert Conklin

I wasn’t going to write anything today – I was going to give myself a break, because I feel like I deserve it – but here I am… writing! Hahaha!

When I have made a commitment to something, then I give it every ounce of passion which I have, every-single-day. I am just one of those people that do not know how to “not give 110%” and on those few occasions when I do give myself a little bit of down time, I am absolutely RIDDLED with guilt! – True Story!

This character dynamic infiltrates every single facet of my life… right down to taking my son to school. I think in two years, I have asked my partner to take my son to school maybe twice? And on both occasions the guilt has literally EATEN me up!– it is ridiculous, I know! But that’s me!

Same goes for my business. I am always first to arrive – early in the morning. I enjoy the time to get all the cogs turning, but occasionally I cannot be there to do that and I hate that! I simply cannot seem to process “slacking off” on ANY level – EVER!

I just don’t know how to do it!

Every single day this week, I have promised myself that “the next day” I would give myself a break from writing for my Steemit peeps, but every single tomorrow has arrived and I have started writing!

Not that anybody would miss it if I didn’t make a post for one day, except me… but that is precisely the thing… I WILL KNOW! – And this causes a little internal battle – which my “determined twin” ALWAYS wins! Haha!

When I joined this community I did it because I wanted to reach people with my writing. I have been here for just a couple of months now and I know for a fact that my writing is making an impact on at least a handful of people’s lives, and for that I will press on! I want to make a difference! I want to help other people and in turn, help myself too. (Ok, this post probably isn’t very useful lol – but hey… sometimes it’s just nice to “express” a little of what’s going on in my world.)

“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.” – Albert Einstein

Well Albert…. I sure hope you are right – because right now, I am writing about not writing… CLEARLY I need a break… perhaps Saturday… or Sunday….hehe

Time will tell ;)

“Hard work certainly goes a long way. These days a lot of people work hard, so you have to make sure you work even harder and really dedicate yourself to what you are doing and setting out to achieve.” – Lakshmi Mittal

Well Steemians… tonight is Thursday night and my mom is coming over for dinner (this is our weekly ritual). I will be making steak (yay) and kicking my feet up with a good few glasses of red wine and having a little “down time”.

I will see you all again tomorrow… if I can resist the urge to check on all of you later tonight. yeah... what are the chances... haha! (at least I am honest!)

CHEERS STEEMIANS!!!

Until next time...

Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
