"Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation....even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."

- - - Leonardo da Vinci

You rock, Leonardo!

Wonder what da Vinci would have done as a Wealthy Affiliate....or Charles Dickens.... Benjamin Franklin, or Abraham Lincoln... or even Jesus of Nazareth! What would they choose as their "niche" and how many of us would they "follow"? Just imagine!

We know of great and wise people who came before us. They are from different time periods, cultures and life situations, but they all have one thing in common. Do you know what it is?

No one person mentioned in a history book got there because they did nothing (well, maybe except for Benedict Arnold, but even he made a choice and stuck to it)!

So count me in, Mr. da Vinci!

I am just about to start course 3, lesson 1 - my site is up and running and I am feeling more confident about working in WordPress; the more I do it, the easier it will get. Having a blog gives me lovely incentive to keep going, keep moving, keep working on it. My passion for the niche I chose keeps me motivated. I am simply astounded at how each idea leads to the next. I keep a notebook (yes, pen and paper) for all those ideas I can't work on just yet.

Like many people on WA, I struggle with time. But I have found that even a small amount of time spent counts towards reaching my goal. Even just logging on and re-reading something is helpful, if that's all I have time for.

The key is to just keep going.

Don't stop. Don't look back. Don't become stagnant.
