I’ve been blogging since I was 14 years old (yes, 14). Of course the capacity and platforms were different but regardless I have been glued to the blogosphere since my tender teen years. I self taught myself a lot of what I do on the blog, HTML, Photoshop- the fun stuff. But one thing I never did was put “myself” out there until I started amodachic.com.
I was always shy of taking my blog to the “next level“, creating its own domain, its very own social media accounts and sharing my content for the world to see. My fears were mostly not wanting to be judged on what I was writing or criticized by the trolls of the internet. But, I had to put “my big girl pants on” and follow my passion.
So here I am, a year later and thankful more than ever for the support system that pushed me to follow what I love and for the viewers that not only read what I have to say but that provide feedback and interact with the blog. It seriously puts a smile on my face when I know that someone has taken back something from a post on my blog.
Today I share with you 5 things I have learned via amodachic and how I use it as a stepping stone instead of a set back.
Everyone will always have an opinion of you- good or bad.
This was the hardest thing to take in but like my dad said “you can walk into a room Amanda and if ten people are in that room, that’s ten different opinions of you”. I couldn’t agree more, the opinions of others are just opinions at the end of the day.
Time management is key

How to Kamagra online kaufen? This is the viagra best price best way of preventing a condition like erectile dysfunction. Yes we learn these great skills during our studious college/university years or through work but having a blog really taught me the meaning of time management. My blog is a hobby, something I do on the side and not my full time job. So, I had to make time for the blog and make sure that I give it just the right amount of attention without it consuming all of my free time.
Find inspiration anywhere
Being a blogger, we are always trying to come up with original content but that sometimes can be hard because we often feel “like I’ve blogged about everything”. At times we need to escape our regular element and find inspiration in the smallest of things or through other people.
You aren’t perfect- so don’t try to be
I used to get discouraged when I would roam other blogs and see how perfect and cookie cutter their photos and posts were. I then snapped back into reality and said “you aren’t perfect and cookie cutter isn’t your style”. Part of who I am is embracing imperfections and my blog is a reflection of who I am. So yes, you’ll see shadows in my photos or one offs but it’s not because I am careless or not paying attention to detail, it’s because I am just a normal gal and the “everything is flawless look” just isn’t me.
Follow your passion
I read in a book once “don’t die with the fire still burning in you”. I find myself reiterating that quote when I feel a lack of motivation. It’s never too late to follow a dream or achieve a goal. We are often our own road block, just be fearless and go for it. You may lose something along the way but you may also gain a ton more, you’ll never know unless you try.
So ladies and gents, have you taken the plunge and followed your passion or on the road to achieving a goal? What have you learned along the way?
