You're ready to tackle online success with web domains, planning your social media, signing up for all the products and services and downloading so much, you've convinced yourself you're going to blog regularly, write articles, post everything, get your work in catalogs and directories and still have time to breathe.

All of a sudden, you're having an anxiety attack because you realize that this is a job for Superman and he's gone. You just are one human being and the key to success is not in believing or trying to do everything imaginable, it's in making a plan and working at it every day so that over time what you've accomplished is amazing.

Beside, if you stress too much you're going to damage yourself and then all this work means nothing.
I  have learned this lesson from friends with disabilities who often want to do more in a day and their disability doesn't make it possible so they have to adjust their expectations and be encouraged with the small significant steps and be less critical of themselves and any progress they make.

The key to long-term success is to be patient with yourself and to cheer yourself on by celebrating the smaller milestones. It helps to find a balance between work and sanity. You cannot push your body and mind 24 hours a day.

Today some of the Internet sites did not cooperate and links did not all work and codes did not work, and I just did lots of things more than once. In the end, I had done a few things and that means I am ahead of yesterday. I'm going to have some hot herbal tea and celebrate sharing these thought with you.
