Taking perspective

Taking perspective

I decided to take myself off for a day or two, as this is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland. I am currently in Donegal town in Republic of Ireland and it is lovely to see people!! People does mean danger in these times, but I'm being very aware of my surroundings and being cautious. Isn't it unbelievable that I'm having to write such things.

I am sitting in s cafe having coffee and there is a large Perspex screen between me and the next table. When I first read about screens I thought how awful, but I must admit that the privacy is great.

It is a good time to take a step back and put everything into perspective at Wealthy Affiliate.

I have only been around for a month and because I read every day about how many blogs people have up and running and how much others are earning, it is like a two aged sword, in that it encourages me, but also disheartens me, as so far I think I have attained so little.

So sitting here, removed from normal, I realise that Wealthy Affiliate have helped me to so much in such a short period of time. I have one website up and running, it's maybe not totally complete, but I've now started a second one.

So I haven't had any comments on my site from readers, I haven't earned anything from my affiliate links yet, but get perspective.

i can hardly expect to be earning a fortune when last month I didn't know how to set up s website. I didn't even know what the word affiliate meant.

So I'm now feeling proud of what I've attained do far and I'll give the big attainers blogs a miss for a while till I feel more confident and comfortable within myself.

So to all the others new on the road, take a step back, see how much you have learned already and get PERSPECTIVE!!

i wish you all well, enjoy the rest of your day, in the wonder of how much you've accomplished, wherever you are on your journey.
