Do you see the picture attached to this post? Will I tell you what it is?
It is a delicious and beautiful cake.
I agree it looks a mess right now but if you have ever baked, you will know that it can be messy in the middle of the process.
I’m very pleased with how my website looks now although there were times when it was a mess! I questioned why I had even started to create a website when I was a novice at such things.
I didn’t sort the mess out by myself. I’m very grateful to many people who gave me suggestions and advice. I’m particularly grateful to Sheelah. Without Sheelah, my website would still be a WordPress mess.
Perhaps everything we do can seem messy before we get the clarity to complete it? Maybe the final outcome is all the better because we’ve survived the mess?
Nonetheless, being in the mess is challenging!
If you are in the middle of something that looks like a mess right now, here’s some suggested tips to help you through it:
- Ask for help or advice from someone you trust.
- Tolerate the mess as being a necessary part of the process – lots of things are messy before they take shape.
- Persevere – put the mess in the oven, maybe what comes out will be better than you think.
- Make a fresh start – put the mess in the bin and use what you have learnt to start again.
- Buy yourself a cake (this is a good solution even if your mess is nothing to do with baking)!
