The Foursquare Blog

Document more. Like what I would say I don't have any regrets in life, but one of them is that I didn't document the struggle. I didn't document the journey, because I was ashamed of it. I didn't want anyone to know.

It's kind of like the people who, ... when they're overweight, they don't want to take pictures of themselves, cuz they're ashamed. But ... one, you got to face reality. And two, if you believe that you're going to win, this will be part of the story you tell.

... the moment that I actually started documenting purposefully, was the day that I had a thousand dollars ... in my bank account after I lost everything. I was like, I will never let this happen again and this will be the beginning of my comeback story.

This hit me. I have a ton of projects on my todo lists, and they are all in various states of completion. I also waste a lot of time on youtube. It's the modern TV. And while I have learned a lot from that youtube time, it is mostly superficial knowledge. Only a few topics have turned into projects, and even fewer have gone full depth, and fewer yet have been completed.

If my comeback story is going to be documented, it can start right here. Perhaps it will grow to audio and someday video, but the blog is likely the ideal place for the bulk of it.

And if documented, then regular progress is needed, and if regular progress, then the frequency of blog posts will be a measurement to myself whether I'm stlil on the horse, or have fallen off.

This leaves 3 goals:

1. Document more. Document your life and your progress and your setbacks as if you believe you will eventually win and win big, so that you can have a documented trail to your success that you can share with others.
2. Face reality. Don't let shame hold you back. The only thing to be ashamed of is standing still.
3. Blog daily, or close to it. Because if you have nothing to blog, did you really do anything toward that hope of success?

But how?

I have an idea, but that's tomorrow's blog. :-)
