I am very much the people pleaser that I forget to please me. Change can be difficult for me in some situations. Sometimes I live in the past, depending on what the circumstances are. Believe it or not I am not a fan of myself and I over-think everything. Sounds like a mess if you ask me, but these things can be changed with some effort. All the things on this list can cause me and the ones I love some frustration and a little heart ache.

Discover Challenge: The Poetry of List-Making

Lists can help you get things done. Putting things into order can create a rhythm of its own, much like a poem or a song. You can prioritize what you want to do by importance and what you value most. I suppose a list can be a poem as much as anything. List making is a good way to be sure you remain on the task of accomplishing your prime goal. You can see what are the pros and cons of something too. Everyone has a wish list of the things that they desire. Lists are good as long as you act upon them.

Question? Going Bigger Time.

Is what I say and post here interesting enough to be seen by a wider audience? Should I pursue increasing the numbers of people who read this blog. Would it be a little narcissistic? I have over 1400 followers, would more just be more or would more be better and that sort of thing? What would you say?
