Is what I've gained in life more than what I've lost? By Oadissin

Greetings,

I am sure you are spending quality time on Steemit while reading and discovering the quality content of bloggers. I want to share with the reader in this article my experiences on the up and down in life.
My life hasn’t been so tough compared to many young people living in my neighborhood without a roof over their heads at night. In the following lines, you will understand my answer to the timely interrogation “Is what I have gained in life more than what you've lost?”

The previous twelve months in 2022 had been difficult in terms of job hunting and money earning. I have applied to many companies and found that the opportunities were leaving the place where I reside to cheaper markets in the regional countries. I was not the only candidate in the situation. Poverty and illegal activities have risen in my town. As a result of these issues, my plan to travel was a huge scam where countrymen took $500 USA dollars from my half-empty wallet promising that they will secure a job abroad and guarantee a work visa for me and my wife. I have learned from my mistakes and understood that the current situation of financial crisis destroyed completely the existing trust in friends and family acquaintances.
The development of crypto web blogging is helping me since the beginning of 2023. I am glad that I am progressing on Steemit. I know that loss through hack can happen. In fact, one of my accounts was emptied by a hacker on the platform two months ago. I was lucky to have not many tokens on that account.

It is sad to witness the degree of bad behavior in the city. It is only for money fiat currency that is losing value every day. The poverty mindset of the people affected by the financial crisis in Benin is not too late to reason with ideas. It is important in the current condition to build new relationships. It is tough to trust people but my experiences empowered a new style of networking in my local area. I learned a beautiful lesson through my losses and decide to search for opportunities at the place where the actions meet the talks.

This year is a period of rebranding our activities and letting go of the toxic relationship to achieve my mission. It has started very slow in the earning part. I hope that the second half of the year will yield more fruit after my consistent work on the Blogs and on the field. I have less money every day due to inflation and the bear market is holding us back as entrepreneurs looking for funds to initiate projects. I keep faith in the cycle of things in life knowing the best is yet to come. My goal for 2023 is to succeed in generating passive income that can protect my family from inflation. The additional income of money is going to be generated from a business run on a side with trustworthy friends.

I will strive to maintain consistent interactions on the Steemit platform and look out for interesting projects. I pray that inflation does not skyrocket before the end of 2023. I am in survival mode at the moment. My business plans don't mean much without capital input and trustworthy partners. The next six months are going to be difficult not only for the youth but also for the nation. I will keep applying to the scam-free online opportunity to earn a little more and develop new skills in professional environments.

In conclusion, the complex economical situation in which we live presently has generated many losses due to bad behaviors and criminal actions. My experiences in a developing country do not escape this reality. Despite the setbacks in 2022 and 2023, I stay positive about the possibilities to generate income the right way and even achieve financial freedom. I believe that my life experience has offered me more gains than losses in the long run. Learning lessons from my mistakes and developing new skills to offer professional services at workplaces are the right steps toward success.
