Sometimes you just need to be still and listen to your inner voice.
And boy did I do that today (sounds like Steve Urke) 🤓.
Have you ever seen or heard something that speaks to your inner being. Well this quote did and I was lead to make an IG post of it. Little did I know that I would have been putting it to practice today. Alllll dayy!!!
For about a day, I have been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong on my blog. Persons were only seeing the two most recent blog posts. I looked at every option. Googled every combination of wording, just in case I missed a significant one. Nothing worked. Not Google, not youtube, not nothing. I left it, went back at it and still nothing, after hours of what felt like sheer punishment.
And so I went to be still and find my inner voice. Now, just so you know, my 'be still' can mean many a things. Today it meant cooking.
Dinner was great by the way😋. Anyway, I digress.
After dinner and relaxing I decided to face the beast again. This time, well fed, relaxed and sleepy 😴. An hour went by and still nothing. And just as I was about to give up and go to bed, there it was, right in front of my eyes, literally😤😟😲. I could not believe it. I was using the wrong page type all along. And to make it worse, well depends on how you look at it, everything was right there on the correct page type/feed because it was set up in the system to work that way. At this point I wasn't sure if I should laugh🤣 or cry😭. So I decided to finish fixing it and go to bed.
Now in bed, I decided that my day wasn't long enough apparently, so why not share this story with my tribe so we can all have a good laugh, myself included.
Lessons learned:
Don't be too hard on yourself, especially when you are learning something new.
Know that you will fail many times over before you get it right. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
When you are on the brink of giving up, don't. Try one last time. That's when you usually get your breakthrough. I DID 👊
Well, good night folks, sleep well. I am sure there is another hidden drama awaiting me on this blog. But so am I. 😉
