10 million

Published: Thursday, 14 March 2013

My goal with my blog wasn't to reach 10 million views.  (And it hasn't.)

My goal was to learn discipline:  making myself contribute to the world each day with a few short paragraphs.

I could never figure out what my goal with uni was, so I'm still there, plodding along to the completion of my degree.

You can set yourself any goal in the world and achieve it is there's something in it that calls to you authentically.

It might not be the same goal as everyone else who's writing a blog, studying at uni or starting a not-for-profit.  But it doesn't have to be.

About Me
