Like all blogs, there comes a time where you start to wonder why you started. Is the money, the fame, or just the pure idea of leaving the 9-5?  There is no real contest or hall of fame that can justify your existence of an idea… until now.
ShoePerStar is hosting a one of a kind contest that is going to give you a chance at fame.
One lucky blogger will grab a free flight to Austin (within the continental US), 3 nights hotel, conference pass and $1,000 spending cash. All you need to do is register below and blog about why you should be selected as the ShoeperStar!
So, lets recap this.. one lucky? I doubt it should be a lucky blogger, they should re-name it as worthy. One worthy blogger! Simply put it should be me and let me tell you why. My name is Prija Phaphouampheng and you need to elect me as the ShoePerStar because I live by my 5 codes: Positive, Passion, Persistence, Paper and Play.
Postive
In life you are granted with certain obstacles. Everyone is dealt different cards. Yet in life everyone has the same two choices to make. To have a postive outlook or a negative. Being positive in a way of life. People need to realize that shit just happens. It does not happen for a particular reason, they just occur like random acts. I’ve noticed that by being positive, it creates contagious effect where people flock to you. Â
Passion
Positive energy creates a path. To travel through this path you need a vehicle and this vehicle is your passion. My passion is to expose what blogging really is. It’s not some fad, that will come and go. It’s a phenomenon that is crunching out more that 120,000 new blogs a day. The documentary about bloggers will show the truth strength that millions of bloggers have a voice and they are choosing what is to said and heard.
Persistence
With your passion as a vehicle you need fuel. This fuel tank is represented by your persistence. The funny thing about is, persistence can fluctuate on a daily basis.  My constant drive for success comes from the fact that my family came from nothing. I want to be able to change our lifestyles in one generation. It’s a pressure that I put on myself because I believe I can make a change.Â
Paper
Now that there is a path, vehicle and fuel there needs to be a direction. That direction I strive to is the Paper. Paper referring to the money. It’s not necessarily money itself, but what money can buy. The paper will free my parents from working, giving back to my community and family. I want to free people of this stigma that they have to live the life they were born into.Â
Play
There needs to be a balance. With the journey comes the time to actually enjoy the ride. I’m a firm believer of work hard, play harder. Have fun with your work. We spend most of our lives working. It’s roughly 8 of 24 hours a day. That’s a good third of your adult life working. By going to Austin, I know that I will not only work hard, but enjoy my time like a true big money blogger.
If you believe I am worthy enough, please vote for me.Â
