Life keeps getting tougher, harder and more competitive each and every blessed day…

Life is not a bed full of roses, know this and know peace🌹

When the journey gets tough, the tough get going

It takes courage, hard work, determination, faith, consistency and dedication for one to turn out great in life, if not all, make sure you possess at least three of these beautiful qualities because it is a requirement for a successful life

If there is one thing I have learnt in the last two decades of my life, it is that nothing comes easy in life, we have to go out there, strive and fight hard to achieve that which we want earnestly…

The journey is never meant to be easy, there were times when I wonder alone in my thoughts like a lost soul, and there were times I laugh out loud but deep down all is not well with me...

There were time i sat alone in the dark blaming and criticizing my condition, there was a time I had no shoulder to cry on but because I had the strong will to pull through and survive amidst these challenges, I became a VICTOR…

Life does not give us what we truly want easily, I learnt this a long time ago and since I came to understand the modulus operandi of what life entails, I started fighting for whatever I wanted in life and today I am a result of that which I did and sacrificed in past…

It felt just like yesterday when I couldn’t afford some basic necessities for myself and I remember that time things were hard for my family, my two siblings were in higher education and I just graduated high school, I was hoping for something different but life threw a different thing at me and I was left with no choice than to take it as it comes…

At that very early age I decided to Multi job so that I can support and assist my family, I was a teacher and also an apprentice to a shoemaker, it wasn’t easy back then for me but what kept me going was the thought that I had my family to motivate and support me but most importantly I believe when there is will there is surely a way out…

After months of teaching, I decided to secure a higher-paying job to settle my bills and to also assist the family, it was a very risky job but I never feared it and took it up…

I became a loan collector who collects about 25-30$ monthly, it was better than what I earned as a teacher, I started off well but along the way, things happened and it got to a point where I went on my knees and prayed for divine help and things started falling into place again…

Several times I wake up early to trek to the office so that I can have something to save that day, is it the hunger or the fear of getting robbed daily, sacrifices were made for the greater good…

There is no success without sacrifice, understand that fact now, I was earning well, saving and also supporting the family but I never had the time to rest, after a while I had to resign because it was time to prepare for my external examination, I had to attend lessons for assured success…

I was living okay, happy and with a positive mindset of things getting better again, after a while my testimony started coming and this was in the form of my mentor, the driver that drove me to the hive blockchain…

He was opportune to be in my tutorial for the same examination and one thing led to another and we became quite close and that was how my journey towards greatness started…

I became an hiver through him and slowly things started falling into place instead of me to relent and enjoy the moment as it comes, I never did such instead I doubled my hustle, goals, determination, courage and passion to achieve something on this new path…

I saw how his life changed through the blockchain and I started following in his footsteps, learning about the do’s and don’t of the blockchain and I started making it bit by bit until I spent one year and two months…

Today I am over 12 months old on hive with over 3000 HP, I never relented, I never stopped trying, I never stopped hoping and most importantly I never stopped believing and praying…

Someone who couldn’t afford some basic necessities some months ago is now someone who is capable of buying excess, all this was because I understood what life is and o decided to take what is mine by all means necessary and my hard work, dedication, believe, hope, consistency and diligence brought me where I am today and I am grateful for that…

Achieving something great is never easy, it takes a courageous person to make it in life, i had nothing some months ago and now I have something and I am grateful to all the factors responsible for who and what I am today…

I learnt a lot of lessons in the last three years of my life, life taught me to be hard working, challenges increased my thirst for success and when the journey got tough, I never stopped and continued going…

I wavered a lot but I had my family, mentor and my fellow hiveans with me during these tough times and to God be the glory I am here today and I am happy…

In summary, don’t take life for granted because the moment you take life for granted that is when you start losing your purpose and focus in the race ahead of you…

Never belittle yourself, never underestimate your capabilities, never give up, never stop trying, if you fail one thousand times, try again ten thousand times and one day you will look back to the past and congratulate yourself for not giving up…

I learnt a lot from life and part of the lessons i learnt are what made me stronger and more determined today and I am happy I didn’t GIVE UP 🆙…

In conclusion, I look back to my past now and smile 😊 with happiness and gratitude in my heart because I knew how I was a year and some months ago, I was just me but now I am a better version of what I was then and it was because I never stopped going nor did I lose sight of what I wanted to achieve in life…

NB: You alone are responsible for what you become in the future, don’t ever take your dreams for granted
