I'm BACK!

Apologies for not updating the blog for the past 5 days. I've been facilitating training programs at Penang. Tiring stuff but the truth is it's a good excuse to slack off a bit. And that's what I've been doing. Guilty as charged!

When I first started this blog I hesitated to call it DAILYnavin coz it was a committment to update the blog daily. I wanted to do it but even then at my highest motivation level I doubted myself and hesitated. So going ahead and naming the blog DailyNavin was an indirect way of shouting out my goal - which was to maintain a blog that helped individuals stay empowered on a daily basis.

So now that I've failed to keep a smooth record of daily updating my blog I'm at a very familiar situation in my life. Very often I set a bold goal - get motivated - do it for a while and then abandon it when the first acceptable excuse crops up. I'm either too busy at work, have other committments or justify that I'll do it next time when the time is right.

However, in some rare circumstances - I persevere - even after failing - and even when I'm blessed with good excuses. And not surprisingly these rare circumstances go on to become some of my biggest achievements. As I look back, the few times I've truly been successful was when I persevered through. I didn't indulge in excuses and justifications and accepted my failed attempts as learning experiences. 

I also realize that I persevered because I had other people cheering me on and supporting me. Reminding me of my goal and what it meant to me.

So in an effort to make this blog a true success and to achieve it's true objective I am going to persevere. I'm not sure how many of you actually read this blog but that's only secondary to the primary objective of having the discipline to update it on a daily basis. Maybe if I achieve it's primary objective it's secondary objective will fall in place too!

I would also like to ask you for your help to keep me committed. If you have empowering messages which you think could benefit others do share it with us on this blog. It could be a posting from another blog, a video, an online article or simply a personal thought of yours.

It would be a great help to keeping this blog alive and kicking :)

So do come back to share and comment and I promise that I'll do my best to make it worth your while!
