Hello once again good people. Here is another hub from the challenge I participated in on Hubpages back in June-July. This was hub number 14 from the 30 day challenge.

Check out the review, and let me know what you think. Well that's it for now. Stay tuned for the upcoming hubs from the challenge. Brad H out!

Opinion topic: Five things that we allow to become our real enemies.

What's up once again? This is Brad H back at you, and I'm presenting another hub that I wrote during the "30 hubs in 30 days" challenge that I took part in during the months of June and July. This is hub number 13 that I came up with. It was one that came directly from the top of my head, and required little to no research. Those are the kind of articles I always enjoy writing; mainly because I know it's all me. Anyway, the article is titled "Five things that we allow to become our real enemies", and it points out five things that we allow to become our real enemies. People aren't always our biggest enemies. It's the small things that we least expect that we allow to control us. Check it out and let me know what you think. Alright I'm out, so take care everyone. Peace.

Quick update, and results on "30 hubs in 30 days challenge".

Hey what's up good people. It's ya boy Brad H coming back at you once again. I know it's been about a month since I last updated anything on this blog. I apologize deeply for that. I originally intended on keeping this blog updated while doing the 30 day challenge on Hubpages. However, I ended up getting behind on writing the articles. This led to having pressed time to get the challenge done. Thankfully, I was able to finish up the challenge. It turned out to be a lot more challenging than I had originally intended. However, it was definitely a learning experience.

There were a few other issues that occurred over the last month or so that were family related. Those issues played a role in my getting behind on the challenge, along with writing on this blog weekly. At any rate, the worse appears to be over with for the moment. I'm hoping that trend continues, and I can get back focused on this blog. Starting today, I will be posting each individual article I wrote on the challenge here for whoever wants to read them. Although I reached 30 articles in the 30 day time period, the final article I wrote ended up getting unpublished. So even though I technically done 30 hubs, I'm only getting credited for 29. It's okay though -- I'm not sweating it too much.

Well that's it for now folks. Just wanted to come with a brief update. Despite my absence from this blog, I am alive and doing well. I'm planning on getting back to the regularly scheduled topics sometime this week. Got quite a few thing that I'm looking to discuss on "Brad H's Perspective". Thanks to everyone who follows and keeps up with me. I really appreciate it. I'm going to go ahead and end this, so peace, love and blessings to all. I'm out!

Continue to look for an edge.

Hello come one come all. It's Brad H coming back at you again, and you are reading another edition of "Brad H's Perspective". If you are reading this blog posting, I appreciate you taking out the time to join me again. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week up to this point. I'm doing pretty well myself. I've just been continuing to create and come up with ideas to write about. The 30 hub in 30 days challenge that I've mentioned several times before starts tomorrow on Friday June 15th. For those of you who are not familiar with this challenge, it's a popular challenge that content writers on Hubpages (hubpages.com) take part in. It's an experience where you write 30 articles(hubs) in a 30 day time span. One of my fellow members on Hubpages encouraged me to do it with her. We've also had several people to commit to joining us on this journey. I'm pretty excited about doing this challenge, and having the support from others while going through it. I'll continue to keep a steady update on my progress with the challenge. I'll be posting the hubs that I write on here, but you can also read my writings on Hubpages at http://prospectboy.hubpages.com/. Alright lets get into what we're discussing today.

Last week I was at the park doing some running with my younger sister. She claims that she likes working out with me because I help keep her motivated. Little does she know that she does the same thing for me as well. While we were running, I kept talking to her and trying to encourage her to keep moving forward. At one point during the jog, I told her these words; "You're out here running and getting your health right, while so many others are sitting on the couch doing nothing". The reason that I bring up this experience is because I think it fits perfectly with today's topic - which is looking for an edge. We have to continue to look for and find an edge in life. Now I know that everyone isn't able to run or do physical activities, but finding an edge isn't only limited to physical activities. I just used it for an example in this particular scenario. Life is sometimes a game. It's almost like a competition in a way. We sometimes compete with ourselves, but we also have to compete with others as well. In order to be prepared for what life brings, we must have that extra edge over the competition.

Finding "the edge" can relate to any aspect of life. It can relate to academics, career, sports, or even writing. Imagine this scenario: If there were two students who are both trying to make an A on a test, who do you think has the better chance? The student who gets tired and goes to sleep while doing little studying, or the student who stays up late studying, and doesn't rest until he or she knows all the material well? I'm willing to bet that the student that went that extra mile to study would most likely do better. If you research and study people like Michael Jordan, Will Smith, or any other person who is talented at something, it's likely that you will find that they worked at something until they became great at it. This all coincides with finding that added edge. Many people don't know that Michael Jordan was cut from his high school's basketball team the first time he tried out. He worked at becoming a better basketball player, and look at the end result. He is now considered one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. I recall watching a video where Will Smith claimed that he wasn't the most gifted actor, but he said he works harder than anyone else to be the best actor he can. Now he is one of the most popular actors in the world. I'm sure that in order for these guys to become great, they had to look for an edge over their competition.

A lot of times when I'm running and I feel myself getting tired, I think to myself that I'm doing something that is benefiting to me. I think to myself that if and when I participate in my next race, I will be even more prepared than someone who didn't put the time and effort into doing their best. It's all about finding an edge over the competition, and sticking with it until it pays off for us. I'm always brainstorming and coming up with ideas to write and talk about. It definitely can't hurt in helping me to gain an edge over someone else who probably decides give up or quit. Alright folks that's it for this weeks edition of "Brad H's Perspective". As always I hope that you enjoyed reading this blog, and hopefully you were able to find some motivation in it. Be sure to leave comments and let me know what you think about all of this. Are there any interests that you have where you are looking for an edge? Would love to see your feedback. I will continue to keep this blog updated while I'm doing the 30 in 30 challenge, so continue to stay tuned. Till next time peace, love, and blessings to all. I'm out!

My personal 10 Hubs in 10 Days Challenge.

Tweet

Hello once again folks. It's ya man Brad H. coming back at you again. I'm coming to you on a rainy Monday evening here in Texas. I can't speak for everyone else, but rainy days provide little motivation to do much. However, we can't let the rain keep us from doing what we got to do. At any rate I hope this reaches you all in good health and spirits. Today's post is going to be fairly brief and straight to the point. It's about a personal challenge that I embarked on almost two weeks ago. I called it the "10 Hub in 10 Days Challenge".



Some of you know or may be familiar with the passion that I've developed for blogging. The website, Hubpages is one of the sites that I blog on. I've been writing on Hubpages for around 7 months. Up until I decided to do this challenge I set for myself, I had written 19 hubs. Hubs are the name given to articles on Hubpages. I've been looking for a way to become more motivated to write on Hubpages, so I set the 10 Hubs in 10 Days Challenge for myself. Now before I go any further, I want to say that there is another challenge that many other writers on Hubpages do. It's called the "30 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge". The name of this challenge is pretty self-explanatory like the one I made for myself. I'll talk more about the 30 day challenge in a bit.

I wanted to set a challenge for myself that I feel would challenge me, but would also allow me to reach it as well. As I mentioned in previous posts, you don't have to go all out everyday in reaching your goals. Small goals and small steps are key. Three days into my personal challenge, I posted a question on Hubpages asking if anyone wanted to join me on the challenge. I received two responses, and one of the writers decided to do the challenge with me. Now I personally found this to be a great thing. Not only did I have someone else encouraging me to finish out this task, but I was helping to motivate someone else also. I love it when support comes from someone else, or a group of other individuals. This is something that I actually wrote about in one of my hubs.

Now that I've finished the challenge, I'm going to be posting the 10 articles on my blog for anyone who wants to read them. I'll be posting one article daily until all ten are posted. I want to give a special thanks to Hubpages user http://karenhellier.hubpages.com/. She is the writer who took the challenge with me. We've corresponded several times through e-mail, and we've both decided to tackle the 30 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge. She is the person who inspired me to want to take on this new challenge. We are planning on starting the challenge in June, so I'm going to start preparing myself to be ready. I'm definitely up for it. Well that's it for today folks. I'll start posting articles tomorrow. If you want to read my hubs, you can read them at http://prospectboy.hubpages.com/. I'm also going to be adding a widget from Hubpages to my blog, so you can read my material that way as well. Well take care everyone, and I will be back soon. Till then, peace and blessings to all.
