There was a time, not too long ago, when I was very concerned about how many hits I got on my blog every day. I was monitoring the numbers at every opportunity, checking on my follower count etc. It was a source of great pride that a blog I created 2 and a half years ago with very simple goals had grown so big..
Somewhere along the way though, I realized I felt ‘commercial’ and that was not the point. I was suddenly wondering if I should 2-3 posts a day to increase the clicks. And it was only a matter of time, before this system crashed..
I think the best part was sitting down with myself and just going back to why this blog was created – a learning a day. A simple concept had been over-complicated..
The best part about the actions following this realization is that all I’ve cared about over the past couple of months is delivering good quality posts.. and forgotten about the end. True, the numbers are not as high as they used to be when I used to have 3 odd posts a day..
But, I’m convinced that obsessing about the end results in a not-so-memorable journey. And that’s not what life is about, is it?

This is just a musing. I’m not sure if the learning comes through to you as a reader but it was a big one for me! :)
