My First Post
March 14th, 2007 by Ken DWell here’s the first post of many to come. This site is going to be about personal insight and self improvement. I will be using many examples of my own journey and I look forward to hearing some of your insights as well.
For almost two decades I have been interested in improving myself, and in the process I have read hundreds of books, listened to dozens of programs and spoke to many people about the subject of personal change.
I’ve had a lot of success - and I’ve had a whole lot of failures and setbacks. I am coming to understand failures and setbacks as part of the process. Growth is mostly never linear and it seems to jump around quite a bit sometimes. But I do know the key is to never quit. You see, if I never quit I’m bound to get there or at least die trying…and even then I could say I was still trying.
I have gotten knocked around and have fallen down but I always manage to pick myself up (or sometimes get picked up by someone around me), dust off, and keep moving. It’s not always that simple, but it seems to be the set pattern. I don’t quit. I pause, I stumble, I question, I adjust, but I don’t quit.
Now this doesn’t mean I don’t stop a project or completely change direction and leave something behind. Many times I have gone down a path to learn it’s a path I don’t want to continue on - at which time I reverse direction. I don’t consider this quiting, just smart tactics.
Just don’t quit and you will achieve your goals.
