Why I Embarked on Blogging: The Balanced Quest Blog

Updated: Jul 10


welcome aboard to my blog

Welcome everyone to my weird and wonderful blog!


I decided to start this blog because, well, I needed a new hobby and on that could hopefully (with any luck) pay me to do so, I mean lets face it, thats what some of us are really after being able to sit back do what we enjoy and get paid for it!


I never actually thought I would start a blog BUT here we are! So what's on offer, well the topics I will be covering in my blog surround the quest of balancing life from time for yourself to dedicating time for certain aspects like the gym, hobbies, loved ones etc, whilst also touching on your own health, mental wellbeing and relationships! Ooooo the juice!


The reason for this is because I want people to feel as though they are not alone, I want to create a community of people that feel as though they can connect with, share experiences and just fucking breath! It isn't easy at the best of times but to be able to let a load off certainly helps a lot.


I've found that my one problem (yes I hold my self accountable) is that I start a lot of things, I have these great ideas that I want to do but just don't actually know where to start, or I do start them and then never finish them. Take for instance a YouTube channel which I started years ago, I go through these phases of being heavily dedicated to it then all of a sudden, BURN OUT!


I lose that passion, the goal and the driver for why I started it in the first place and I'm sure that many of you are the same, you see this is where discipline comes into it, a great quote from Mike Tyson that I heard recently was "Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it" that hits home a lot with me especially when working out, you see not everybody loves working out, shit I would prefer to sit on my arse and watch the Office than workout, however I know that if I do that I'll just feel guilty because I haven't done anything constructive with my time.


When I workout I feel good, I feel strong and as though I am investing in my body for the future, I want to be able to run around for as long as I can with my kids and if they have kids then to run around with my grandchildren that's what it's all about and sitting there watching the Office for a few hours won't be able to give me that for my future self, sure I chill out and allow myself that time to watch or do whatever I want but I make sure I don't over indulge in it.


Ahhh that made me laugh, you see I wasn't too sure how to start off my first blog and as you can clearly see I just went off on a complete tangent haha, ahh dear, well that's what this will be all about, everything that is swirling around my mind that I can put into this little old blog.


Anyways, I will keep this one short and sweet, I did quite enjoy writing this one, I will be disciplined to come back to this because I have more to get out there for others to read, connect to and hopefully be able to take some value from it.


Thanks for reading my thoughts, see you in the next one!
