Am i too old for this?

Been awhile since I've written a post and I'm so very frustrated. This has been a month from hell! I had such high hopes. Then my back went out on me and I've spent all my time running back and forth to the doctor...laying on a heating pad. Trying to get a bit of training in here and then and still get a post to my blog at least once a week. THEN computer problems. Finally opted for a new computer...WHAT? WINDOWS 10!

I'm so lost frustrated and confused I can't find my way out of a paper bag. BUT I have got a bit of a start on the boot camp training. This techie stuff spins my tail. AND when I see what others are able to do I'm just amazed.

Am I too old for this?

I ABSOLUTELY refuse to give up! But I'm slower than the slowest snail at making progress. AND now I have to figure out how to get all my stuff from my other computer over to this one and in a place that I can find it between the back spasms.

Will the trials ever end?? Most likely NOT...as such is life and nothing that is worth it comes easy.

Give me a bit a sympathy!

Say something to make me laugh!

Cause I'm on the verge of losing it!

Thanks for the time you took to read this...as I know you all have better things to do than to listem to me whine!

Here I go!

Whine away that is one of the wonderful things about this community here.. When we want to vent or whine ...we can and we know it is alright to do so because there is ALWAYS someone willing and able to listen
;0)
Now I am not sure if that was red whine or white but I have an assortment of cheese to go with either little Brie or perhaps a mild cheddar will do?
For the record I hated windows 10 at first too sometimes still do

Ooo cheese and wine?? Lovely!

Yeah, we get a bit too comfortable don't we? Change is good but it disrupts the mojo.

P.s. I have sympathy... I understand the pain.... 😭

thank you!

I hereby loan you my SQUIRREL of Knowledge.... 🐿. He runs in circles, and occasionally has these full on moments of ideas that lead into content! (He will train your SQUIRREL)
Oh.... and a unicorn 🦄 for luck.

Best response I have seen to a blog post all month!!! ROFLOL

😎 gĺad you laughed

thank you yes I needed that myself

Thank you for the much needed encouragement! That unicorn will come in handy! I love your site by the way! I think my Squirrel is even confused at this point!

Guess What? I've been here 5 years and only now started to take this serious, I have been stuck on the making video part of boot camp for nearly a year. I joined in 2014 and spent the first year strong then had back surgery in 2015. I am only now getting back and taking this serious. don't quit now , your gold nugget could be just 1 post away. By the way you don't look old at all we are only as old as we feel. I find prayer to be a help along with staying focused.

Blessings

Oh I'm hoping to avoid surgery. Actually I'm not to that point yet but when you can do little without screaming you think there has to be something to fix this! I'll be even the best guys look back at some of the first work and go oh my! We get better by doing! We will get this...with a meltdown here or there...along the way. I won't give up...as I'm enjoying it way more than it sounds. It just does get a bit overwhelming at times.

No, you are not too old for this. I know someone here who is 80 and doing great!

It will get better. We all go through times when this feels crazy and we wonder if we are wasting our time.

Don't let it stop you! You will prevail!

I am sorry to hear about your back. I have a lot of health problems and I know how hard it can be.

Thanks Jessica. Just had to blow some smoke! It's much better today.

The road to Las Vegas for most of the current and past Super Affiliates has been paved with their frustrations, failures, emotional and physical burnout episodes, second guessing, self doubt, mountains of towels thrown in, glimmers of hope, ups and downs, detours, shiny object distractions, procrastination, broken resolutions.

While most, if not all, of the Super Affiliates fly into Las Vegas' Mc Curran International Airport, their journey there is truly earned on foot, one step at a time, one of the above enumerated obstacles at a time, toiling up until from the 40,,000 feet altitude above a sprawling miracle sprouts out of the Nevada desert, a barren land where mostly tumbleweeds, cacti and scorpions call it home.

They do finally reach Las Vegas using the same premium materials and knowledge bank all have access to here at WA worldwide.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote: The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Trust the plan.

Stay on course.

Where We Go One, We Go All!

Blessings!

Where is the Love button? Your so right. As my great grandpa always said "ALWAYS FORWARD!" Here I go.

You're not too old, and not too young. You are JUST RIGHT in age and determination. Persistence wins the day, the week, the month and the year. You can and you will do it. Keep plugging at it Silver Wings. You are made for this.

Thank you. Knowing I am not alone and having the encouragement and support of this platform, and the understanding, as everyone here faces the same issues at times, I will get back to it. This is a wonderful place. So many to help and they truly do understand.

Oh noo...so sorry about your back. You will be fine. Sometimes I see people's website and also wonder why mine looks different and simple but I have decided to give myself time and space. When I feel like working on my website, I usually do it with full force sometimes sitting up to 8 straight hours only with bathroom breaks. Other times,I don't even feel like turning my laptop on! So I move with the flow and sometimes just let it go.

So no giving up, but just be kind to yourself. It shall be fine.

I try to do 'something' everyday. That doesn't mean it always happens, but even the smallest step is at least a step. I had a week of hell with my back, and doped up on pain pills that made me sleep, and then the computer thing...and I just lost it..LOL I'll be aright! Thanks for your kind words.

Hey Susan, S--t happens! Do I dare say that here? :-) ? Every obstacle you overcome makes you wiser and more able to help others. Just dig out your determination muscle!

your right...and I will...but dang it! LOL

I am so sorry yur back went out

thank you...it's a chronic problem ...but you never get use to it!
