Publishing Without A Care In The World

There is a large percentage of bloggers out there who are afraid to share the things that they are genuinely interested in or the things that they truly believe in.

And, why is it that some people are not willing to bare their soul via their blog posts?

Because they fear being ridiculed by others.

Dear friend, the God’s/Goddess’s truth is that there will always be a bunch of people who will ridicule what you have posted.

So, forcing yourself into the people-pleasing role will be a difficult one because you will always be walking on proverbial eggshells.

Therefore, the wise approach is to publish the types of blog posts that matter most to you.

You Are Entitled To Your Opinion

All personal bloggers are aware of the fact that they are entitled to their opinion (Those opinions of theirs usually take the form of blog posts and comments).

The issue here is that some opinionated people think that their view is the right one and the views of other people are flawed.

Honestly speaking, no one is forced into accepting our opinion whenever we publish a so-called controversial blog post; what is intolerable is other people being disrespectful to us for sharing our point of view.

We are in no way forcing our readers to agree with us; we want them to form their own opinions in the end.

If a reader disagrees with us and they wish to voice their opinion in our blog’s commenting section, we expect them to do it in a diplomatic manner.

Cussing, name-calling and looking to start an online fight via our blog’s commenting section only displays the small-mindedness of the commenter.

On a positive note, WordPress is filled with lots of open-minded people (If they disagree with you, they do it in a way that is polite).

You Need To Be The Brave Type Of Blogger

The brave type of blogger is the person who is not afraid to publish whatever it is that they want on their blog (After all, it is their blog and they have every right to do so).

Hey, the brave type of blogger knew from the start that not everyone who reads their blog posts are going to agree with them (And, in his or her mind, that is absolutely okay).

The whole premise of they publishing their blog post is to share their unique point of view and not necessarily to get numerous people to agree with them (If people happen to like the message within their blog post, it is not viewed as a big deal; besides, there will always be those that resonate with the messages in their blog posts).

Are you the brave type of blogger or the type of blogger who plays it safe?

You might as well be the brave type of blogger because you will still come across disagreements from others in spite of you doing your very best to play it safe.

You Will End Up Publishing Nothing If You Are So Eager For Other People’s Approval

Many of us wanted the approval of our peers when we were in school.

A lot of us wanted (or still want) the approval of our co-workers at our place of employment.

So, it is not surprising that a large number of bloggers would like to acquire the approval of their fellow bloggers.

Now, I can bet the last dollar in my wallet, that there were bloggers who refused to publish a blog post of theirs due to the fact that it had a strong probability of it being disapproved by others (As a result of their fear, they ended up not publishing it).

Dear friend, I want you to always remember, that being authentic requires that you speak your truth (And, in all honesty, not everyone will be appreciative of you sharing it on the world wide web).

Final Thoughts

One of the harsh lessons of life is to always remember that it is not our job to ponder upon what people think about us and our blog posts.

As bloggers, we need to publish our blog posts without any fear of ridicule from others.

We must always be brave enough to publish the types of blog posts that resonate well with our inner being.

Do keep in mind that there will always be disagreements (What matters most is the manner in which we handle those disagreements; we can choose to be warlike and ignorant or peaceful and diplomatic).

We must always speak our truth (And, it must be done without the expectation of being on the receiving end of agreement or disagreement).

Dear friend, when you can become comfortable in your own skin, you will finally put aside the fear of what other people think of you and your blog posts (Once you have mastered those things, you would be publishing without a care in the world).
