Picture from my phone
As an African woman with aspirations for greatness, i desire to fulfill my full potential and make a reasonable impact to my generation. I want to embrace every opportunities that can foster the actualization of my full potentials, promote my professional and personal growth relentlessly, and motivate myself to reach new heights.
My aim is to strive for success not only for my own sake but also to inspire and empower others, particularly fellow Nigerian women, to chase their dreams fiercely. Ultimately, to promote progress, community development, national development, and comfortable society for all. I want to effect change in the society where there is fairness, equity and justice and leave a legacy that's worthy of emulation.

As a young woman aspiring for greatness in a diverse society with multi ethnic, religious society like Nigeria, i have alot of fears,
-First of all, my fear of compromising and social acceptance.
-Secondly, Fear of stereotypes and gender inequality and discrimination.
-Thirdly, the needs are limitless, and the means are limited, i have fears of failure and not living up to expectations due to limited resources.
-Lastly, In everything you do in life, they are some who wouldn't like you,so I have fears of resistance and opposition from Haters, conservative elements in the society.
-Finally, my greatest fear in life is Death. We chase dreams, make friends, love families and do all we can, but it's going to end one day, when we are no more. Death is my greatest fear in life because no one know when it comes, and it has no respect for status, age, gender or body size. Hence, there is a need to live everyday like a last day because tomorrow is not promised.
My strength are opposites of my fears. I got motivated when my works are being appreciated and accepted. It strengthening me to be gingered to do more. My strength also comes from numbers of smile i put on people's faces. When i was able to influence or impact on someone's life positively, it gives me inner strength.Staying around my love ones gives me strength and motivation. Whenever I'm at peace with people around me, not having grudges, not keeping malice, and not at war with anyone, strengthen me. Lastly, God is the source of my strength, happiness and life,without him I'm nothing.

My flaws mostly are not something i can identify by myself, but due to the impeccable nature of human being, i can't say I'm perfect. I'm not calculative enough to be innovative as i desire to be. Most times, i see creativity of others and i feel like I'm lagging behind in the fast growing innovative modern society, where creativity and technology of turning ideas to reality is the new normal.
Self limitation on the other hand has been the stone on my neck, that wouldn't let me raise my head. I came from a traditional background where girls children are considered to "belong to the kitchen" and their responsibility is to bear children, do house chores and remain a dependant. In as much as i tried to break that shackles and stigma, it still remains because the society still consider some positions as gender base,some of my aspirations withered out of fears of being labeled arrogant by the society.
I think i have pride. I consider it self identification, but people believe it's pride and arrogance because of my resilience, and inability to succumb to the pressures of gender oppressors.

I believe that becoming the best version of myself it involves continuous personal growth and self-improvement. And also to become the best version of myself there are other things I need to do which I will state below;
-Self-reflection: Understand strengths, weaknesses, and values.
-Set goals: Define what "the best version" means for you.
-Continuous learning: Acquire new knowledge, skills, and experiences.
-Healthy habits: Prioritize physical health, mental well-being, and good relationships.
Embrace challenges: Learn from failures and setbacks.
-Adaptability: Be open to change and new perspectives.
-Self-compassion: Treat oneself kindly and practice self-acceptance
-Acceptance
In conclusion

Hola amiga
Es cierto no somos perfectos así como tenemos virtudes que nos hacen ser mejores cada día También tenemos defectos que debemos modificar.
Muchísimas gracias por tu mención Te deseo buena suerte con tu participación.
No human is perfect, we are all striving for perfection. I hope that one day we will get what we really want from life.
Thank you for commenting😍
Learning from our failures or mistake is one way to become a better person rather than allowing our mistakes weigh is down. Talking about flaws? We all have that particular flaw, called pride, it's not only you we were all born with it, but to become a better person, you should try and control it or avoid it, it's not a sign of a better person. Goodluck my dear friend 🤗❤️
I don't always show how proud I'm, I only do when necessary and sometimes it's not really pride but self respect 😂 which many people won't take. I will heed to your advise by trying to reduce it.
Thank you so much for the comment
Thank you for participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 13 in the Steem For Ladies Community.
It's good to see your participation here. Life has never been equal and can never be equal. Haters will always exist. Knowing that their are people who would always criticize something you do, will make you believe more in yourself. I enjoyed reading from you. Good luck!
Thank you for the review.
I appreciate 😍☺️
