Often living in my own head,<br> ideas come easy...it is the execution that is tough. Writing has always been something I\u2019ve enjoyed but lately it has become an incredible outlet. Taking the constant stream of randomness out of my head and putting it on paper is insanely therapeutic. Recently,<br> that passion has collided with blockchain technology and the various tangents that topic has lead me down. Through that,<br> I discovered Steem and fell in love.<\/p>\n<h1><br>\n<strong>What...am I doing here?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Flexible job,<br> happily married,<br> currently no kids...there isn\u2019t going to be a better time for me to head down a new path. I\u2019m here to document that journey and bring others along for the ride. Not only looking to pursue activities and topics that I am passionate about\u2026but also,<br> to break my bad habits and replace them with good ones. I want to keep pushing,<br> in order to better position myself for the future ahead. I'm here to exit my comfort zone,<br> getting as far out in front of this wave as I possibly can. <\/p>\n<h1><br>\n<strong>When...will I do this?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Right now. No more waiting. No more excuses. <br>\n<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Why...am I doing this?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Work\/Life balance is overrated. Work should be an enjoyable part of life,<br> not something separate and evil. I also know that my inner struggles are not unique,<br> nor are they the most challenging. I aim to create a medium where people can express their struggles,<br> as well as how they overcame them. Every success story is filled with poor decisions made along the way. There are often questions and struggles we find ourselves up against but these are easily conquered when we have the help of others. As someone that is very idea driven,<br> there is nothing I value more than constructive feedback or advice. <\/p>\n<h1><br>\n<strong>How...will I do this?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>By building a community of like-minded people who are experiencing similar challenges. Over time,<br> I don\u2019t want my story being the only one heard. I would love to build a community of people who are trying to make major changes in their lives. Establishing an environment where we can all learn from each other\u2019s experiences and really help one another get to that next level fulfillment. Serving as examples for one another,<br> we create a platform where we can teach each other,<br> allowing our overall chances for success to skyrocket. <br>\n<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Where...do I see this going?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Down a path that will really allow me to see what my true potential is. Ideas are the easy part,<br> it is time to begin executing. My blog will serve as a trail of breadcrumbs,<br> leaving me no excuses for not following through on my ideas. I refuse to allow myself to have any way out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Inline-style: <\/strong> <strong>![alt text (<\/strong>http:\/\/resizeimage.net\/viewimg\/eVtUAX2T81xXiHTl\/aWbbH\/fork2.jpg<strong>\"The Hard Fork\")<\/strong><br>\nMy blog,<br> <strong>The Hard Fork<\/strong>,<br> will take a look at the dramatic shift in my personal and professional path. Inspired by the perfect storm of: a passion for writing,<br> blockchain technology (Steem),<br> an inner belief that I can achieve much more,<br> and a couple of fantastic ideas; I want to broadcast my challenges and struggles along the way. There are many others out there that have been through the same,<br> or worse,<br> that I would love to learn from. I also want to encourage others who are considering similar changes. <\/p>\n<p><br>\n<strong>What type of posts you can expect to see from me...<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n <li>My Forking Education:\n <ul>\n <li>Showcasing the things I\u2019ve learned that are inspiring me to stay on my path <\/li>\n <li>Quick Breakdowns\/Easy Reads<\/li>\n <li>Written so that those with no prior knowledge of a given topic can comprehend and learn <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n <li>Forking Updates: \n <ul>\n <li>Describing the roadblocks,<br> obstacles,<br> and breakthroughs I\u2019ve encountered <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n <li>Forking Inspirations: \n <ul>\n <li>Profiling examples of others that provide great learning experiences \n <ul>\n <li>Other Steemians <\/li>\n <li>Celebrities <\/li>\n <li>Obscure entities,<br> great examples<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This part is completely foreign and new to me...<\/p>\n<p>If you have time,<br> please follow me on Twitter and join the Facebook community for The Hard Fork.
