0:00 Intro
1:21 - Where is blogging at these days? I feel like it’s not as popular as it was a number of years ago.

I truly don't think that when I'm being selfish, it comes at the detriment of someone else.
So that's how I handle it.
That can be a hard thing to make yourself believe. Watching someone else have a hard time because of a decision you made is extremely upsetting to a lot of people. But I have a way to justify it.
When I'm in my most selfish place, I don't try to conceal the act in some way that hides what it is. I don't try to sugar coat or act like it's a good thing. Let them be upset because that is their right.
Even though I am doing something that looks selfish to benefit me in the short term, it is actually going to positively affect the people it involves in the long term. I am making a decision in a five month window instead of a five year window, but history will allow that person to feel that it was palatable when they rekindle their thoughts around it. Even though it might sting or not feel as great in the short term, I know that looking back, it will be okay. Because I made the decision that was hard, but right.

    QOTD – initial thoughts would be a video on FB sharing my true authentic thoughts on where I am right and where I am planning to be in 12 months (like a time capsule I could go back to a year later). But then I had the business thoughts of put together a video of my best content that adds the most value and FB dark post it for 12 months so it stays at the top of everyone's feed and even though people are sick of it, it is drilled into their brains like 'let it go' from Frozen.

    I like your thoughts on context being lost without any human interaction

    Social media is the short version of blogging!
    Qotd; I would give them a very value advice about training

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eddie Teran says:

    QOTD: A 30 second video reminding folks that no matter who you are, you need to take time for yourself. Make yourself a priority, go for a walk, get a massage, meditate, catch up with friends, and Treat Yo Self! Do the things that make you feel great before it's too late.

    Can't wait to catch up on Episode 100 when I get home tonight!
