Changes in the Way I Write this Blog

Over the past couple of months, I have questioned what my purpose was in writing this blog. When I was playing and writing about poker, I had a pretty decent following of around 50-100 visitors per day. With this blog, I have found that I average about 3-5 visitors per day. That is quite a difference! It was enough to make me wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

However, when I thought about what my goal was with the site, it was to provide my readers with a fresh perspective on personal, spiritual growth AND to grow spiritually myself. I have decided that I have attached too much value to the number of people who may be reading my blog posts. It is an “ego thing” to want more readers, in my view. I have to trust, if I am truly to be of service, that the blog will reach those who need them at the time that it helps them the most.

Since it was important to me (at the time) to have as many readers as possible, I thought it was important for me to write a blog post every day. However, I have had a change of heart on that for one very specific reason – I didn’t like some of the stuff I was putting out because I felt like I should write every day. So instead of writing every day, I am only going to write when I feel like I have something to say. It may or may not be something that resonates with all of my readers, but at least it will always be something that I am proud. I also believe it will either bring you pleasure, or at least make you think.

I appreciate the comments I have received from the small number of you who have kept me going! Keep the comments coming. When I know they are helping you, it gives me the motivation to keep writing.

Namaste
