Thorn in your Side

Does it seem like there is always a “thorn” in your side?

By thorn, I mean obstacle. Pain in the rear end. Something that holds you back from what you want or need.

In life, you’ll always have these “thorns” in your “side”. It’s quite inevitable.

You see, let’s take this blog for example. I start it, it grows, it’s doing great, and “Bam!”, shoulder is broken, and my blog is neglected. Now, you may say to yourself at times like these, “It’s just me, I’m an unfortunate person. Nothing will ever go right for me.” Don’t think this way! Why?

Unforeseen Occurrence Befall us All

Yes, I just made a reference to The Bible. :) It’s so true. If something bad happens to you don’t think God, or someone else has it out for you, that’s just life.

Ok ok, why do I bring this up you say.

Well, when I had this shoulder problem, I was very discouraged. I thought to myself, “Everything always goes wrong! My blog starts to grow, does well and then it’s gone.

But don’t be discouraged. If you give up, like I almost did, you’ll never succeed, be it online, offline, inline, ( had to throw that in there, sorry. :-P ) and you’ll never have a business or blog that means anything.

This is just a little word of advice to all those discouraged ones out there, that you CAN succeed, just never, ever, and I mean never give up! :)

In other news, I’m back! Regular content will start being pumped out starting tomorrow. :) So stick around, we’re gonna go places. :D

    Yah… i give up on everything very easily…. so when i started internet marketing, i decided not to give up on my sites… i may focus on other stuff, but I won’t completely abandon them…..

    So yah, like you said, if you quit, you become a quitter… and you’ll quit online and offline.

    Great post. People never succeed when they give up whenever something bad comes their way. I mean what if Thomas Edison gave up when he tried invention 9,999 for the light bulb?

    Welcome back Mark. I get the “thorn” in my “side” all too often, I don’t know how I continue blogging. If I stop, pretty much all my readers are lost. I don’t have that much traffic though. Good post!
