Just today, my website where two of my top earning blogs got penalized by the big G. Zaaap! In a moment.. in a blinking of an eye. Hehe. I wasn’t really shocked though. It was something that I saw coming. I just stared at it straight in the eye until it hit me in the face

Oh well. It has been happening to bloggers exponential in number. I am just one of the statistic . Kidding aside, I have just reaffirmed that life is full of surprises – may it be positive or negative. Some get promoted while some get fired in one day within one company. These things are never going away as long we live. The important thing is (as I said before), these things happen for a purpose and that these things happen to us to make us persons of experience and wisdom. They try to teach lessons. You may find out that hard work pays and the opposite robs. You may learn that procrastinating leaves you cramming which then causes you not to meet an important project deadline which then leads you to packing up things in your big brown box, going home and telling your wife that you lost your job.

I might have not lost a job today but I had my share of life’s down time – a discouragement only if you let it. If there’s one thing I learned today, it’s this: “There are a lot more things that are beyond our control than we know. The best thing that we can control is how we react to these things and situations. Mastering your thoughts and reactions is a huge thing to do, requires mental and emotional hardwork but pays off really big”.
