All you need to do is to make a start

Probably I’m like most of people, having a drive to write something down, anything really. Interesting ideas, some deep thinking about life, or even just a place to rant about something. And like some of these people, I never started because all sorts of reasons (excuses). Today, I am making my first step to write something down here.

The best tool I use when I get stuck on anything really, is internet. I use search engine to point me to the best article that could help me with my problems. I’ve read thousands of different types of articles, and I really appreciate all the effort the those writers put in to help people.

I have to admit this isn’t the first time that I want to write something to help people or share my thoughts using the power of internet. I was hesitated, or more likely, scared of writing something to public — what if people laugh at my ideas if they are not realistic or wrong, what if people can’t understand as English is not my native language, what if people start being aggressive and I can’t handle the heat, etc. But to be honest, everything has two sides, there will always be people who support you, as well as people who against you. It really comes down to, can you encourage yourself to take the first step? Once you do, I believe things will just get easier.

This is pretty much the end of my first article. Although there’s not much in there, I am still very happy that I did this, given this is my third day since I typed my first word in here, with numbers of times thinking of giving up. Now I’m going to grab a beer and celebrate my biggest achievement so far in my writing journey 🍺.
