I was thinking more about this recently, and realize now that it's also important for us to try because we can all reach people that others won't. For example, I've been inspired by the likes of Steve Pavlina and Tim Ferriss, and I've gone ahead and spread some of their ideas to friends and family who might never have heard of them otherwise. Cheers! Thanks, Ajay. I was thinking more about this recently, and realize now that it’s also important for us to try because we can all reach people that others won’t.

When I first started to read all the travel, language, volunteer and lifestyle design blogs myself, I had posed the same question to myself: Who would read my blog anyways. As you said, it does not matter. It just matters that we act and try our best. I want to quote from the 9/11 documentary I was watching today: "you never know which day in your life is the last day"...So, its better to try and fail (and keep trying) than not do anything at all.. Ciao Ajay Great Post, Niall !

I heard Corbett Barr talk about this recently. He set up a blog about traffic building (a hugely crowded niche) 18 months ago, and he had the same kind of mindset. He knew that there were tons of other blogs out there competing with them, but he just focused on doing his best, putting his unique spin on it, and he's now doing amazingly well. Looking forward to seeing more of your best on Life Is Limitless. You're off to a great start :-) Thanks so much, Caroline! I heard Corbett Barr talk about this recently.

As a very, very new personal development blogger myself, what you say about not thinking about all the other blogs out there on the same subject (is there really that many?) really resonates with me. I think that if you go into any endeavour worrying about how you compare to others you will never really come across as truly authentic and what does set your blog apart for me is just how genuine it is. I also think that true self-belief will never comes across as arrogant but will actually inspire others to start believing in themselves as well. Something I have definitely found with your blog - cheers! I love this post Niall.

That's a great post you wrote on your site. As my Dad always says, "If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right!" I think back on some jobs I had, that I didn't really like and often half-assed, and I regret not giving them my best. If I had, I'd have gotten better references, learned some new things and I would have been happier knowing that I wasn't just passing the time and collecting a paycheck.

I just got home with the intention of writing my speech for next Tuesday's meeting which is going to be entitled "Always do your best". I was having a conversation with one of my passengers today on the way to the airport and told him the story that is outlined in my first blog post on the new blog that I wrote day before yesterday and he inspired me to give the talk on this subject, using this blog post as the metaphor for anyone to be inspired to do their best. http://coachdavidgcarpenter.com/Test/wp/blog/archives/21 Great Talk, David Hi Niall,
