When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left

Do you ever have those moments when nothing goes the way you want, no matter how hard you try?

I am right now in one of these moments. I picked a niche which I like and know a lot about, I bought an awesome domain, then started writing content. Sounds good, right?

Then whatever could happen started happening all at once: hubby losing his job, daddy falling badly sick, shifting house, burocracy at its worst, you name it, it's there in the list.

No matter what, I can't find the way to sit and work on my new website. It is as if the entire universe is telling me: N O T T H I S W A Y !

Hence, I just decided to leave it alone for a bit and start something else. I am quite curious to see the universe's reaction.

Now, tell me about you. Do you ever have such moments? And how do you react? I am quite curious to know your reactions too :-)

Hi Umsizi, Thank you very much for the encouragement. I need liters of this tonic! :D
Cheers, Alma

Hi Alma. Sometimes changing direction is the best option. It depends on the situation, but at times you end up with a better outcome.

1

Hi Real, that's what I hope in this particular situation, getting a better outcome.
Thanks for dropping by :)
Cheers, Alma

Hi Alma, interesting post. Irv.

I wish you the best. I am into retirement and have left a lot of this in the dust.

What is the something else that you started?

It's about setting up companies in Dubai. Any foreigner who wants to do so needs a local partner, and my husband is local.
He gave me power of attorney and told me go ahead and use me as your working tool (lol) so I can have my job and he can keep doing his own job.
There are no taxes here, and there's plenty of foreigners who want to open new companies or a local branch for their overseas companies. Usually once the license is approved all parties go to the notary public to sign an agreement stating that the local partner has no involvement whatsoever in the company, and just gets a fixed sum each year upon license renewal.
It's not exactly what I planned but it's easy work most of the times, so I'll give it a try for some months and will see the outcome.
Wish me goodness!
Alma

Thanks for your reply. I do wish you goodness.

I too am right there with you all. I just want to sit down and cry and scream.This just is not fair. I really cannot take this all any more. But I some how will go on just don't know how right now

Hey Stacey, I'm here for you, just PM me if you want to :)
The darkest moment of the day is right when the sun is about to rise.

Regardless of how things may "appear" we are ALL facing the same problems! I don't think that there is a single person (or at least very many) who are not going thru the SAME issues.

Mine started four days ago and thanks to an OVERWHELMING response from OUR community, I feel back on track again. I am sure I will run off the rails again, but the difference the next time is that I will know it is only temporary.

This community is like having my own personal mental health counselor - On Retainer (for free :-)

The lesson always promoted on WA is NEVER NEVER NEVER Quit!

Things will change Alma because - change is the only constant in the universe according to the "experts" (that would not be me of course).

All the best, Steve

Thanks Steve, I am not going to give up for sure! However, I am definitely changing direction and starting to work on a different niche. Let's see if the door is open there...

Take care, Alma

1

Alma - I am doing the same thing, opening more doors !

All the best and have a great weekend.

Steve

Thank's for your post!! Jude

2

I am going through this at the moment Alma, being pulled in every direction by different things that need my attention, (including family problems,) with a result that I'm stuck in the middle and getting nowhere! :)

That's exactly what I'm talking about Jude, and it's so frustrating!
