I got a private message on Virly. I assume the person didn’t want to make it known publicly that he/she was the one that had sent it. One of the phrases really caught my attention and I thought it was worth sharing.
“And thank God that you don’t have a huge platform yet; your lack of influence allows you to fail with grace.”
So here I am failing with grace. That’s not all bad right! You never learn anything if you don’t fail. Practice makes perfect. Maybe someday I will find or build that platform that works perfectly for me.

Does this make any sense to you?

No

Some people just enjoy being mean, they obviously have a problem.
I am confused at the point of a message like this. To put someone down is not alright. I hope you did not take it personal. None of us are perfect.
Of course I took it personally – in the condition that I am dealing with everything seems personal. It’s like rolling down hill and not being able to stop.
OMG.
I am so sorry.
I understand why someone would take the easy way out. But you do have a platform. You do reach many people and I love your posts!
I hope whoever sent you that message understands how mean that is.
Well, I honestly didn’t take as something mean. I just felt like they said I need to work harder and maybe get better to meet their expectations. I was confused, and not really offended. Thank you for saying you love my posts. I do try and simply keep it real and share. I am who I am.
being who you are is all we can ever be!
Well I know I have put my foot in it more than once, but I don’t think the comment was true. You are OK .
I just thank God that he is merciful to me. You are OK.
I was honestly more confused than offended. I have been told all of my posts are spam as well. I fail often, and I get up again.
That’s awful. That is not a nice thing to say. I hope some moral conscience comes to that person who said that
I don’t quite get what the sender wanna put across …
but yes, we all learn from failures …
failure is the mother of success !!

How did the same thing get here twice. Not what I meant. I agree with your statement alibb.
