Who’s the boss here?
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Although it seems that life needs to be lived in a precisely aligned chronological sequence, as we imagine it, the opposite is true.
Everything comes to us as it should. We just have to understand and grasp these facts and trustingly let life itself guide us.
A form in a button? Brilliant!
For a month now, I’ve been trying in vain to figure out why my I WANT ONE button doesn’t display the form to download my first free E-book – Take a nap.
Everything worked as I had imagined, but only two days before it broke down. I click on the link and there’s silence on the path. Absolutely no reaction.
The original idea was that I would hide the form from you and as soon as you clicked on the I WANT ONE button, it would appear out of nowhere in all its glory. I didn’t want it to be so obvious, that I wanted an email from you…
It doesn’t work!
It was quite frustrating. Although this experience taught me to erase the last steps I had taken on my website, I couldn’t get back to the original version.
The day after I launched my website and announced to the world that not only they existed, but I also existed, the button stopped working for me at midnight.
The form disappeared from the button and was nowhere to be found!
It’s beyond my power to concentrate at half past one in the morning to get the situation (a great new name for the problem) resolved. Still, I tried until 4:00 in the morning to find a way and various solutions. In vain.
So, right after waking up, I went back into the “situation” and went through the entire step-by-step tutorial to make it work, the way it should. Or the way I imagined it?
How did it turn out? The form is there, but it’s not hidden. It’s right in front of you, so you can see it and download my E-book.
The intention of the universe?
Hmm. Maybe this is the intention of the universe. The universe is guiding me to make the form visible and accessible to everyone who visits my page.
Several weeks have passed since then, and I have hopefully started to solve the problem again. However, this time I was not successful either.
I have already exchanged six emails with support, but even the last one did not contain a final solution. So I move one step further and focus on other things – on what is more important.
Let it go
I move one step further. Now is the time to master writing newsletters so that I can communicate with you regularly.
And when the time is right, information on how to hide a form in a button will find me.
We feel that everything has to go according to our rules, but if we just trust life and its guidance, everything will be resolved faster, smoother and without unnecessary new wrinkles on our foreheads.
Lesson?
I didn’t manage this task, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t learn new things along the way – I know where to read the code of my site J. Usefull? I do not know yet.
Now I can upload a plugin from scratch to the system, which is absolutely divine.
I also dared to look into the bowels of my website and add one code, which I was really afraid that I would totally fu… up my page.
This was the benefit.
Life is a school so let’s learn and let ourselves be guided.
Maybe you too have something right now that is not going the way you would like.
But what if it’s exactly how it’s supposed to be?
Yours,
