The "End of The Decade" Challenge.

Tweet

I was inspired by my friend @skydream to take this challenge, as you basically list 10 accomplishments within the last decade. It doesn't matter if it's big or small, as long as YOU feel it was an accomplishment. It's going to be lengthy, but here's my list..... 1. Getting started in freelance writing in 2009. I started on Associated Content, which later became Yahoo! Contributor Network. I also tried websites such as Bukisa, Triond, etc., and it was this way for a few years. It had some ups and downs, but I don't have any regrets, as it gave me more experience in the freelance world. 2. Working my way up with my freelance writing. I eventually joined Textbroker and Zerys, and while I hit a bump in the road thanks to my own anxiety, I got back on track about two months later. From there, I gained private clients and more experience, and I grew as a freelance writer. It was the experience from those two websites that eventually gave me the confidence to become active on Fiverr (which comes later). 3. In 2013, I traveled to New York City for several days with my friends for Wrestlemania 29. It was my first big trip without any family members, so that was a big deal for me. I had an amazing time hanging out with my friends, meeting wrestlers and checking out Times Square for the first time ever. 4. Approaching wrestlers at the "Superstars 4 Sandy" charity banquet, to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy, during Wrestlemania 29 week. They didn't mind fans approaching them, but I'm pretty shy, so that was another big deal for me. 5. Oh, and being able to pay for my own wrestling trips throughout the decade was a big accomplishment for me. It felt good to know *I* did it myself, especially when some people didn't -and still don't- take work-from-home jobs seriously. 6. Taking the train alone in NYC during my SummerSlam 2015 trip. It was after an autograph signing with Randy Orton. The subway station was right there, my friends told me where to go and I met up with them at my destination stop. However, traveling anywhere alone is a huge fear of mine, and I remember my friend's Mom (who's a friend of mine) telling me how proud she was that I did that on my own. 7. Anytime I've ever had to walk anywhere alone, i.e., the dentist, as once again, it's a huge fear of mine. I take it on an event-by-event basis, but anytime I do it, it's an accomplishment for me. 8. Taking the leap on Fiverr. My Daddy had me sign up years before he passed, but I never had the confidence to do anything with it. I wanted to add another egg to my basket, so in late 2017, I read up on it, and then I think in early 2018, I made the leap and posted my gigs. Now, I'm a level two seller with several weekly/monthly clients. Sometimes I get swamped with work, and sometimes it's stressful, but I'm grateful for the opportunity, and I hope my Daddy is proud of me. 9. Starting my funds for New Kids On The Block events earlier this year. It may not seem like a big deal to others, but for me, I'm taking the steps to make certain dreams come true, rather than sitting around saying "I wish, I wish...." over and over again. I haven't added to it since the start of the holiday season, so I'll pick it back up in the New Year. 10. Last but not least, getting through the hardest week of my life, when we lost Daddy. I don't know if it counts as an accomplishment, but it's something I never thought I could handle. But even with the breakdowns, I managed to get through it. I hope he's proud of Mommy, me and the rest of our family. Welp, those are my 10 accomplishments for the decade. You're welcome to try this out on your own account, even if it seems small, even if it's not a list of 10. It doesn't matter, as long as YOU feel accomplished. And here's to 10 more years of accomplishments. Photo Credit: Pixabay.
