Income Grew by 277% 😲

This is the surprise I got from an email notification from Google Adsense.

In my 6 years of on and off blogging, this is the greatest return from Adsense I received as yet from my writing.

But don't get mistaken!

You might be thinking it might be hundreds or thousands of dollars, but no. 

My estimated earningsh in October is $7.30 which is according to the report +277% more compared to September. 😄

But you know, no matter how much the surprise is, a surprise is still a surprise to me, and I am very grateful for these nice things that are happening to me.

My head's been full of negative thoughts, that is why I am very thankful that my outputs are still positive and resounds positively.

I admit it really is difficult when your enemy is yourself, your mind.

How can you run away from your thoughts when all of them reside inside you?

I tried to change the way I think, I tried to remove the negative thoughts, but it keeps coming back.

I tried to let it be, thinking that it will come and go, but no, it didn't. It worsened.

A good talk with Ate Niks reminded me to invest in my mental health.

You see a lot of people looking healthy and having the time of their lives, but on the inside, they are not.

During this pandemic, we are also being tested internally, mentally.

You can't go anywhere to take the loads off out of your mind.

You can't do as much as you want because everything is restricted.

You feel like every day is the same, or if not, it feels like the situation is worsening.

But you know what I realized that helps me to keep my negative thinking at bay so far?

Hearing or receiving good news. 😃

It doesn't have to be about me all the time.

It could be good news about anyone which makes me grateful and happy for them.

I noticed it takes me out of negativity and replaces it with good vibes.

This is what we need from all this chaos that is happening around us.

We need hope.

Whenever we are seeing progress in our lives, no matter how small they are, we are seeing hope that someday everything will get better. Our future will get better.

And the most powerful of all, prayer. 🙏

I may have shared lots of reminders I got, but this one is the most effective reminder of all.

Pray.

After I read all my past notes, this is what made me feel better.

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything."

I still do worry, but I do pray for everything that I can think of.

I always pray about what I should do, so that I could be led to the right path.

This writing in here as well, I am not sure if I am the one writing, or am I being led to write this to reach out to people who might need these words right now.

Look now, I jumped from talking about revenue to praying. 😁

But it could be related in some way.

If I pray about everything I do, then this good news from Adsense might have been a result of the things I did in my blog which I have prayed for.

Actually, in July, I finally received this letter from Adsense:

It contained a code that I used to verify my address, to enable payments from them.

Although I am far from getting paid yet because I need to reach the $100 threshold to get paid, this is one thing I should be grateful for.

Hatputito is progressing. 😍

It would be good to know how to maximize this by learning more about how Adsense and blogging work, but I don't think I am ready for that.

I do this as a hobby and I enjoy this as a hobby.

If I take this blogging seriously, it might take the fun out of me.

I'd like to thank you guys for your support too.

You may not be intentionally doing it, but by visiting and reading my posts, you are contributing to Hatputito's progress as well.

Whether you like it or not, you are becoming part of my journey too, and unconsciously helping me out in so many ways.

Actually, just recently, I saw my name in Google's search prediction.

And that is because of your help, either you know it or not. 😊

So thank you, thank you, thank you~! 🙏

I am very tempted to share this on my social media accounts, but at the same time, I don't want them to see my blog. So yeah, I'll do nothing about it.😅
