New Thinking New Possibilities
And whoa it's a new month as well
Hello everyone, we have arrived in the 4th quarter of the most the unpredictable year of 2020 when COVID-19, Australian wildfires, Cyclones were not enough. A recent war between Armenia and Azarbaijan added the painful pin to this year's trouble board.
However, with every adversity, we have a learning and this year has taught me a lot. Before March 2020 if someone said SEO, I would have interrupted him and said it's CEO, you are making a spelling mistake.
Not only I learned SEO, Backlinks, Affiliate marketing, I am now also able to monetize my travel blog smileytraveller.
I was always tensed to earn money from the blog
In running a race, I forgot to celebrate these small achievements of learning and transformation. Instead I was always tensed to earn money from the blog as due to the pandemic I was sitting at home penniless.
Soon I started reading and writing a lot, which helped me to come out of all the pains and life is ready to surprise me every day in its own ways.
As the elders said better be late than sorry
I started to make an account of all my achievements and learnings from this month onwards. In the hustle of our lives, we forget to celebrate small milestones and only to realize it later when we have everything except those small jovial movements with us.
When you feel depressed suddenly it looks like the entire universe is against you, everything looks so sad and the idea to give up, well it pops up in the mind very rapidly.
To fight with such negative thoughts we should always keep a note of our achievements, whenever you feel sad, Read your achievements always think of the bottom line when you are low.
Have I reached this far only to give up?
Below I am sharing some of my achievements of last and goals for next month, Achievements are for the beginners' motivation, if I can reach here you also can and in-fact more than these.
