Yet another start

I have been reading several blogs lately. They have been a mix of professional blogs I read for work and several friends’ musings. I have noticed the most successful bloggers seem to be passionate, opinionated and dedicated. I may have discovered why my blog has repeatedly failed to take off.
I have updated my reading list on the blog. I have been making a concerted effort to read more often and to actually finish books, instead of stopping for months at a time 50 pages in. My reading and love of history often lead me to biographies and autobiographies. I can’t help but notice that many of the world’s most interesting people kept a diary or journal starting rather early on in life. I couldn’t help but wonder, is there dedication to a simple task each day a simple sign of the dedication to their beliefs? Or, is it the reason that we know so much about them?
Looking back at my own history of journaling I have found a few things. Most notably, two aborted notebooks (the longest running journal lasted just over a week) and a blog with several false starts. While I don’t imagine this will become a daily habit I do hope to post with some regularity my thoughts and opinions.
