Metamorphosis

When one chapter closes, another one begins...

In the wake of heartbreak and uncertainty, I found myself at a place in my life where I was faced with necessary changes, choices and challenges. Many of us are faced with harsh realities in our lives at this time in history, and are finding that we must face our shadow side. When embarking on this journey of working from within, healing and acceptance of the self can clear the way toward creativity, good health and positive growth.

I came to Wealthy Affiliate five years ago and remained in browse mode, lurking, wondering and battling with the ultimate decision to commit to the training. Recent events in my life transpired in a way that forced me to make some changes and it all led me to this platform. I started in the beginning of August with the training, following the instructions diligently and methodically.

Within six weeks, I've completed the first level of training, moved almost through level two and have my website up with three articles so far. Finding and settling upon my niche was easier than I thought it would be. I have several other niche ideas that I plan to work on as I grow here at WA. When it came to signing up to be an affiliate for Amazon, it did have its hurdles and I sort of felt I was walking into the process blindly. Eventually, the kinks were ironed out and I was able to navigate my way through the whole process of connecting the dots between my website and becoming an affiliate marketer. I did stumble upon one little thorn during the process of adding and uploading pictures to my website. If there was a way to amend or add a little disclaimer in the training by giving notification that once you publish your post in the WA platform, you cannot access the same pictures in your WordPress back office. Overall, I am amazed at the level of positive reinforcing community involvement, ease of use and navigation and the sophisticated tools provided with the membership. It's clear that the Wealthy Affiliate admin team care deeply about providing a quality product for the members. I began my membership just before the user interface improvements were launched a couple of days ago, and the features were already excellent then, but now they're absolutely stellar!

The human condition requires each of us to come to a point of metamorphosis. The universe offers us choices we must consider when it is time to change course. Our soul's evolution requires it. Getting out of your comfort zone and rising up to meet the challenges mandated for growth will catapult your life in a direction you never imagined.

When the dust settles, and your wings are stronger you'll find that all the challenges that got you here were stepping stones to your destiny.
