The "About Me" section

Have you ever thought about the "About Me" section? Well I did tonight. In fact I spent a great deal more time on it than I really think is necessary.


Now that your back from quickly reading what I wrote let me say this, what is written did not turn out the way that I wanted. I wanted something clever. Profound. Witty. Humorous even. What I ended up with seems kind of bland. Not so clever, profound, witty or even humorous.


So that got me to thinking. Maybe "About Me" writing is someone's niche? Maybe there are people out there that all they do is come up with really awesome "About Me" sections. I would suspect that the "About Me" niche is not mine. I even tried to read other people's sections to see what they wrote. All that did was leave me feeling more stumped about what to write.


My dilema was that I wanted to convey some things about myself just in case someone was browsing blogs, stumbled across mine and wanted to offer me my dream job based on my "About Me" section. Now I agree that the likelihood of that actually happening is a longshot but you never know! It could happen! If nothing else at least I have hope.















Isn't hope a wonderful thing to have?

Why is getting started so hard?

I've thought about this in regards to blogging and pursuing my dreams. I like writing and I assume I'd enjoy blogging. I've blogged a little bit before and I thought it went well. I like taking pictures and sharing them and a blog would be a great opportunity to do that. So why am I finding it so hard to get started?

Is it FEAR???

That's something to think about. In fact my friend Carla was in my office today and we were talking about that very thing. Fear. She believes I'm holding back because of fear. I don't have an answer for that.

It's been said that fear is the absence of faith. Do I have a lack of faith? And is it a lack of faith in God? Myself? My strengths? Am I afraid that taking that step would result in my wildest dreams coming true? Am I afraid of success? What am I afraid of? If fear is the absence of faith what am I lacking faith in?

Matthew 17:20

And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

I welcome your comments and thoughts.....
