Over the course of time, a blogger must overcome certain challenges, obstacles and generally rough times if he wishes to remain and grow; no matter how long you’ve been in the industry or what’s your current status - you will eventually face serious challenges that will test your consistency and passion.

I’m going a similar phase right now - I feel another, bigger test is ahead.

As some of you may or may not know, I’ve been having a hard time with moving from one host to another, and have been generally unmotivated ever since the move was partly completed, I feel as if it is a snowball of unfortunate events that has led to the psychological state I’m in right now that is preventing me of coming up with something to left me back up to where I was.

If you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, here’s what’s been happening:

1. I’m still having problems with my current host, although not critical - but significant.

2. Both my earnings & traffic are in an all-time low since December, 2006; ever since the sites were moved I’ve been failing to bring them up to where they were.

3. I feel generally unmotivated.

I have 102 reasons not to blog consistently right now: I’ve got myself a brand new BMW 320i, Holidays are coming soon in my country and I’ve been called by my dad to help with his very demanding business, my final exams are coming and my online business is in a crisis.

Although I think I went through passion-tests before, I believe this is one of the hardest ones I’ll stand in - I think that dealing with failure after a huge success can be the most challenging and frustrating times one can go through, I hope that my passion and determination will overcome the hurdles in the way.
