500 and Counting…

Unknown-2

Yesterday I reached a bit of a milestone.

I was sitting having lunch with my wife and my parents. Ā My iPhone bleeped, notifying me of a new alert. Ā The alert was from the WordPress App, ‘Congratulations, you’ve reached 500 likes!’

Everyday, my blog that I started only a month ago, continues to surprise me and make me smile.

You just never know what kind of response, that the post you happen to be typing, will actually get.

Who knows if anybody will even read this?

I’m a firm believer in hard work paying off, you reap what you sew and that if you want something badly enough, come hell or high water you’ll get it.

My WordPress blog continues to be a foundationĀ of the hard work and imagination that goes into my writing, it’s also a showcase for the world to read it, if they choose.

In life, if you praise somebody when they’re doing a good job, it’ll motivate them to continue and get even better.

Yesterday afternoon, the alert on my iPhone was my praise and motivation to ‘keep going, you’re doing alright’.

To the next 500 likes.

      4. Really? Hmmm. Well, I’m not not mad, the complete opposite. Also, 44,000 followers? Are you kidding me? A huge congrats to you, I couldn’t even comprehend that kind of following.

      5. Anything is possible with hard work and direction. I wrote some help articles if you are interested, but I’ve only been blogging for two years now. Still learning. šŸ™‚

      6. I will certainly look at those and take any advice that I can use, thank you. Also, yes, anything is possible with hard work, I’m a firm believer of that. Guess its just a bit harder to comprehend at a following of 150. But, you, with the huge following, were there one day too. An inspiration in itself.
