When Life Throws a Punch

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
Mike Tyson
I almost spit my coffee, while I stifled imploding laughter when I came across this quote because it's so true!
We all have received several life punches. Mine would include family separations and drama that would be a cool pitch for a telenovela script.
Financial rock bottom made me stand up clapping with inspiration when I watched Will Smith in Pursuit of Happyness.
We weren't always like that. I was born in a middle-class family, but my Dad suddenly passed away and my Mom left her high-income job shortly after and was unemployed since. I am the eldest of five children. I was barely out of college and I was definitely not prepared when everything suddenly came crashing down. But this change is an example of one of life's punches.
