When I started blogging in 2016, my biggest problem was resources. It still is. But one thing connecting now and the past is my undying unwillingness to give up. Three blogs failed and became history. The last current one started as hope27.com, and after failure to pay hosting fees on time the domain name was lost. I moved to the course lif-explorer.com only to realise that meinradsocien.com is the best option which I am planning to move to soon.

Obstacles to success do not stay the same

Obstacles do not stay the same. They retreat and loosen up. But to do so they want you to keep up and wait for the time they loosen up. The winner against the toughest of all obstacles is the one who started his journey with nothing but hope. With hope, he intends to get to the end.

In my country, buying 10 Gigs of data in 2016 would have cost me a whopping $50 in cash. Covid 19 demanded a change and $10 could now purchase 10 Gigs of data. To make parallels and to my wallet capacity, I only earned $370, $473, $539 and $1025 in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. If you are reading through my annual income you can conclude that my only way to success and blogging combined was likely when blogging on a smartphone rather than a much more expensive laptop. But I happened to resist cheap refurbished smartphones a little longer when I was finally able to buy them until I realised their potential in 2022.

In 2023, I bought a refurbished 7-inch, Huawei Y Max (pardon the OEM’s reported data phishing project because I didn’t care) for $65. Full HD, 128GB of internal space, 4GB of RAM, a 2018 mid ranger SOC reaching 2.0GHz of speeds was part of the specifications. If I am to be taken back to 2016, when I started $65 could not buy a smartphone that could qualify for any blogging. I could have bought a smartphone with 512 MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and 4.0 inch screen in 2016. A useless $65 smartphone indeed.

Staying longer as a blogger, and failing more and more created possibilities of breakthroughs I would have missed out had I retired earlier. It simply allowed the changing surrounding conditions to change my story, too. As the world learns to produce a certain product. It starts with a mission “more” before it gets to “better”. Better results to “cheaper”. If the tools needed to accomplish your journey are expensive, wait a little if there is proof that big producers are fighting to outsell their competition.

You should never give up because the coming of success is not decided by what things look like when you start. It is decided by factors that include your input and what surrounds it. You are not alone in the journey to your success. You have the whole world. Watch closely when the whole world is making some progress you can put into use and have it bring close your success.

Don’t give up. Success was designed to be the conclusion to a story painfully written on a hard-to-scratch tablet before others could enjoy reading it. The tools you need require you to stay a little longer in the game before you can know them and get them. You are not going to know what you lack even after assuming that you know it all.

Finally, you need to realise that it is your life. More than anyone you have been in it. Don’t let yourself down. Don’t give up.
