Today on a forum I belong to I saw this post:
"I've had enough of everything going wrong, and I do mean everything, there's not one single thing I've done since starting that has worked first time and not caused, days, weeks of trying to sort out before moving on.
Not going to depress you all, you're all great and I wish you all the luck and success in the world, but it's obvously not for me.
You really are such a lovely bunch and I love you all, I would say though, it hasn't been only two weeks, I've been struggling with this many, many weeks before this forum became live, and it is a sad fact, that everything I touch, goes wrong or doesn't work, for some reason or other, and after you've have many months of this sort of thing, the spirit and fight is just knocked out of you.
I've been trying for so long, and still have'nt got it together (I'm 64 by the way), even though I follow instructions to the letter, I don't get the expected result - so then what ? I have to ask questions, send out pleas for help, it all takes so much time.
I've put so much into this, I have written my own 70-page ebook, I believe in my product, it is so applicable to the situation in the world today, I also believe that I would sell my ebook, but if I can't get to grips with the techie stuff, then I'm dead in the water.
I'm tired of trying folks, as I said, it hasn't just been a couple of weeks, sometimes it takes longer than that to get one query answered, and I've had so many of them.
I gave it my best shot, but it's not to be, I know when I'm banging my head against a brick wall, and it's time to go.
The very best of luck to each and every one of you ............."
I've had times that I've felt like that. What about you? Listen, life is life. It has it's ups and downs. And when you're down, the LAST thing you want to hear are a bunch of platitudes. I do understand that.
I don't know this person well enough to speak into their life. But if I did, this is what I'd say.
"I understand. I really do. Learning something new, especially something technical is tough. But DON'T give up on your dream. You've written a book, something that is applicable to today's world. WE NEED IT. You don't have the "right" not to share what God has given you to share. Take a few days off, find the help you need, then begin again. You've already found some ways not to do what you're trying to accomplish. Now discover the ways to get it done!"
REMEMBER, "If you can be stopped, you will be." Refuse to be stopped.

Marilyn,
I feel so sorry we've lost one of our members... I think everyone on the forum feels the same...
We really do have to stick together so we ALL make it.
