There are times in our lives that we encounter a heavy rain just like the heavy typhoon that the Philippines just had this week. It destroys so much of the lives of people affected. It wash away the hopes of those people who died and those who got homeless because of what happened.

Some time in our life there are instances when we just wake up one day and realize that everything that we have hoped for is no longer with us and has been washed away by the heavy rain that passes our life. Heavy rains are those problems that we meet along the way. And I know everyone of us have it. It just defer in situation but all of us have it every once in a while in our life.

There are instances that we get frustrated with out business because its not making us any money at all. There are instances that we get frustrated because we lost something very precious to us. Or there are times when we think that the whole world is over us because we don’t know anymore what to do with whatever problem we have at hand.

And with all this frustrations and problems that we encounter how do we really cope with it and how do we handle it? On my part whenever I have a problem I usually let my world stop and nothing matters to me but just the problem at hand. Everything stops. I can’t do my work, I can’t do anything because I just linger on the pain that I feel at the moment. And I know its not a good idea to do it. Because you already have a problem at hand and then you will add more by not doing anything. So the problem just gets worse and your life just gets wasted. I know it has been me in the past.

But today is a different day. I had the very big frustration in my heart but I want to use it as an inspiration to work harder on what I am planning with my business. I want this day to be a day that is special not that I am celebrating the pain that I feel but because I have learned a lot of lessons in the past and now I want to make use of it. I want to take this frustration as inspiration to work harder on my projects and to do better on everything that I do. Instead of just sitting in one corner of my bed and crying and hoping that the problem just disappears magically, I want to do differently this time. I just want to use my time productively by working harder and doing better in whatever I do. That way I won’t have any time wasted just because I have pain in my heart or frustrations in my life.

Its the same in business. We don’t stop doing something just because a project did not do well. Instead we should take it as in inspiration to do better next time. And at this very moment I swear that I will not do things the same way again. I will show the world that just because others say things cannot be done that I have to give up also on it. Just because my world now is crashing doesn’t mean that I have to give up living.

Pain and frustration is just normal in life. We just have to deal with it the best way and turn it into a positive effect in our life instead of thinking of the negative.

This post is not related about online marketing but I know it is much more important than any other online related marketing posts I have ever made. As I was trying to browse warrior forum today I came across a post made by Mike Filsaime of Butterfly Marketing. Knowing his reputation in the internet world I checked on the thread and read all the way to the last post.

It is nothing about any online marketing although it is posted in the warrior forum. It is about a 15 year old girl who is suffering a Hodgkins Disease Cancer and who needs help for her medication and expenses.  In this times of hardships for the family, money is not  just the help we can offer to them. Prayers and other means to spread the word about this is a great help also and thru this post I am hoping that this would reach out to others who will be kind enough to help them as well in whatsoever way.

I never know Mike Filsaime personally but knowing his reputation online I never question the sincerity of his post reaching out for help. Indeed he is somebody with a golden heart for doing this to somebody like Macy Johns.

Another person with a golden heart is William Surrency for making a website for Macy for donations to anyone who wanted to help her in any amount they can afford to help. To check out Macy’s site and to make any donation visit http://macyjohns.com. From that site you can find the details about Macy’s condition and any other details you may need to check on her condition.

What Is Hodgkin’s Disease

Hodgkin’s lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin’s Disease, is a type of lymphoma (cancer originating from a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes). It was named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described abnormalities in the lymph system in 1832.

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is characterized by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another, and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease. The disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells) on microscopic examination. Hodgkin lymphoma was one of the first cancers which could be cured using radiation therapy and, later, it was one of the first to be cured by combination chemotherapy.

The disease occurrence shows two peaks: the first in young adulthood (age 15–35) and the second in those over 55 years old. The survival rate is generally 90% or higher when the disease is detected during early stages, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer.[2] Later-stage cancers, though, continue to show a significantly worse prognosis, underscoring the need to seek treatment as early as possible.[3]

Most patients who are able to be successfully treated (and thus enter remission,) generally go on and live long and normal lives, due to a remission success rate of 90% to 95% more

Any donations and help will be appreciated by the family. Even just a small prayer for Macy’s condition will be a big help for sure. Lets spread the word and let others know about this. Lets all be aware that this can happen to anyone and helping one person would make a lot of difference to the world we are in.

Our prayers to you and to your family Macy. Hope you get well soon.
