As I sit in contemplation of my newest TAG’em post, my mind wanders to an old proverb; something about the road to hell being paved with good intentions…
Sounds about right.
You see, TAG’em is a little flower that I planted for myself with the hope that it would grow into a beautiful garden for all to enjoy. In my zeal to nurture and perfect every aspect of my beautiful flower, I neglected to consider the weeds that would inevitably take root, and proceed to choke the life out of it. Those powerful weeds! The harder you try to get rid of them, the more persistent they get. They just won’t go away! As I witness the petals of my flower wither and the leaves drooping, I wonder if this was a good idea after all.
So here I am stuck; spinning my wheels in an ever-widening slick of procrastination, discouragement and fear. Why do I bother? Who cares anyway?
Lucky for me, the feeling is fleeting and I know in my heart that this TAG’em is important. It’s important to me. Important… to… me.
The way I figure it, there are certain things that I owe to the people around me: respect, compassion, understanding and empathy, to name a few. I make a conscious effort to offer these things. Far too often, I neglect to offer the same courtesy to myself. And this is where I get stuck. I believe this is where so many of us get stuck.
My intentions are good. TAG’em is appreciation and choice, and positivity; and when I take the time to offer these things, the reward is always huge. I just don’t lose. So, when you think about it, I have gained so much more than I have lost through the experience. Whether everybody, or anybody else chooses to formally adopt the TAG’em philosophy is secondary. I can only be responsible for me. If there is anything to the law of attraction, positivity will attract more positivity.
Consider this:
- Sometimes we need a few weeds to show us just how beautiful the flower is.
- Sometimes we have to realize that some people like roses and some people like daisies. This is simply a preference; it doesn’t mean that one is better than the other.
- Sometimes when we plant a garden, it takes several seasons to catch on; to take hold and grow.
- Sometimes we have to watch and see what the squirrels will eat before we decide which plants are safe.
- A flower will wither and eventually die, but will leave us endowed with it’s seeds; each one a door to new possibilities.
Nobody ever said that life is easy, because, well, it’s not. Have faith in yourself. Trust in your intentions. Nurture your passions. Laugh, even at yourself. And don’t give up. I believe in you.
TAG! You’re it!

Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!|
Ah Internet Explore! lol Thank you for the heads-up. I haven’t had this issue myself, but I will keep my eyes peeled. 🙂
Hi there, after reading this amazing article i am as well glad to share my knowledge here with friends.|
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
No worries! I use WordPress. Mostly because I had never used it before and I wanted to figure out how it works. I haven’t done a lot with it aside from some minor tweaks in the customization. I’d love to see your blog when you’re up and running. Good luck!
Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Kudos!
I am not familiar with any particular SEO plugin, however, if you search “SEO” in plugins, you will find a variety. Good luck!
The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to learn, however I truly thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might repair for those who werent too busy in search of attention.
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t relate to the post. Thanks for giving it a chance. I appreciate your comment.
Thank you, I have recently been looking for information approximately this topic for ages and yours is the best I’ve found out so far. However, what about the conclusion? Are you sure in regards to the source?
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I think the conclusion could be very different depending on who you talk to. For me, it makes sense to offer compassion, understanding and empathy; and forgiveness. I don’t know today what I will find out tomorrow, but I do know that tomorrow is a new day to learn and grow. Therefore, drawing a firm conclusion today, could leave me lacking in the future. Look for the positive.
Hi there, simply was alert to your blog via Google, and found that it is really informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I’ll appreciate in case you proceed this in future. Many people will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!|
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be working with? I’m having some small security issues with my latest site and I’d like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?
I’m sorry to hear that you have been having these issues. I am using WordPress, and I haven’t had any issues. There are a number of plugins available that may help, and many of them include reviews so you can get a feel for how others are finding them. Hope you get it resolved soon. Good luck!
