I am delighted to share my experience in Week 5 of the Engagement contest with the title: "we are not Perfect!"

Life is all about up’s and down’s, no one is said to be perfect. You can only strive and work into perfection. Life itself is a journey and we walk through it daily, in search of opportunities, exploration, connections and getting to meet people daily.

In today’s post and engagement contest(Sec 13 Wk 5) I will be writing on the following:

• What I want from life
• What are My fears
• What are my strengths
• What are my flaws
• What can I do to become a better versions of myself

Moving on;

This has always been a thought that keeps recurring to me , What do I live for? What do I want? Life is not all about chasing dream but about building up good and beneficial connections which is what I always do.

I want to see myself achieving if not all but 50% of all I wish for before building a family… All I do is make plans, set daily goal, walk toward achieving them each day. I believe I don’t just earn for myself but also share what I own to my community. It feel so good to have enough and able to give out to those in need

Fear of failure is one of my greatest fears and I so much acknowledge it, it gives me a reminder of the already plans I’ve set for myself, gives me a whole lot reason to get the bag and be that person I want to become.

My other fear is not living up to my expectations, there’s this fear that comes with “Adulthood” sometimes I think about how my future will be like and sometimes picture myself living below my expectations, anytime I see myself sink in that thought, I’m always gripped with fear and this picture is also set as a reminder to top up my game.

I honestly want to be financially buoyant and be able to provide anything my children wants. It feel so good to be able to give out when kids request for something and I want to put that in them even if they see anything fascinating outside it won’t really be a big deal for them because they know mama can get them covered

In my weak moment I run to God, most times when I feel so weak to even utter a word to God(Pray) I put on my jam box and listen to any gospel music that relates to strength, most times I listen Ocean by Hillsong United, this song really works like magic, I see myself praying to God and gaining back my strength, You should listen to it as well.

Also when I see things ain’t working out the way I want it or when I feel a strong burden I give myself a break and spend time with friends and family , go out to have fun then when I’ve back on my feet, I go back to my plan which I always write by my bed side and re-strategize, it has always been a motivation.

Story time: Some days ago, a very good friend of mine who is into crypto trading made a loss, he felt too weak and didn’t know what to do at that moment, he told me about his loss and he is someone who is a big fan of cake, guess what he did, He ordered a cake with a description on it "YOU SEF DON TRY”

His failure didn’t give him an excuse to give up. After eating the cake he got his strength back and re-strategize. You just need to go for what best could work for you at every moment of your weakness

Do you really want to know my flaws? Lol… We all have our flaws, Personally I admit my flaws and work towards personal growth. My relationship with people gives me an eye opening to discover my flaws and also set as a drive to work towards it.

I’m so sensitive to words, I usually get angry at any slightest thing, sometimes I actually know you don’t mean it the way I took it but I just tend to be angry or feel hurt at some word and my mood can just change at that instant, if you want me to explain I cannot explain, because it might not really make sense.

Also lack of confidence got the bad side of me especially when in the midst of people, I happen to go blank when I’m opportune to say something and sometimes makes me feel dumb which definitely I’m NOT. Occasionally I’ve been reading books on personal development and it’s been helpful.

Self love is number one, Listening to what someone have to say can weigh you down, Especially when it’s giving a negative vibe. And in all Personal Development, cultivating the habit of reading books, self-awareness and unlocking my hidden potential.
