I'm back!

Decided to start writing again. But this time rather than copy and paste from other sources, I think that it's better to learn something on my own and then express what I have learned in my own words. Which brings me to the next question, what should I learn and what is inspiring me? Should I focus on just one great topic or should I just write about anything that I find cool or inspiring? What is the goal of writing this blog? Perhaps I just want to write for the sake of writing or perhaps I think that writing is a great skill that I've always wanted to improve. There is one problem and it's my tendency to forget about my commitments and putting things off. It's caused me enough problems in my life and one would think that I would've learned the lesson by now, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I keep putting things off. Is it because I'm a lazy bum? Perhaps, but lately I'm starting to suspect that there are other factors at play here and those are fear and doubt. I don't have too much faith in myself (well, after numerous failures it almost becomes a habit) but I'm getting better in trusting myself. And fear can cripple and paralyze anyone. What things are you putting off because you're afraid? How many times were you afraid of something, only to realize later that there wasn't anything to be afraid of. Our minds are cluttered with the negative images of ourselves and you have to wonder what things we could have achieved if we were sure of our success and if we believed that everything would be a success.
