And you all said... YES
"Well, we won't be the first as there are some weekend engagement trends already on Hive! But this would be THE NIGERIAN VERSION!"

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
For this weekend, we will be talking about personal development. As humans we know for some it has been so easy to achieve our goals because we have strategies in place that actually works for us while for others we most times don't even have any plans for our personal development and improvement. So below are the questions to ask for this weekend.
- Do you have anything you do to be the best version of yourself? If yes, please share with us so others can learn
<div class="phishy"Are you struggling with any addiction that you are thinking is almost impossible to let go of? If yes, tell us what it is and if you would want to let go of it when you see it is not helping your personal development
I can't wait to see all of your responses to this question and I do hope that we get many more people joining us this week to make the discussion more fun and enjoyable and entertaining for everyone.
Okay Let's Gist!!!!
Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
Oh yes before I forget, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...you know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you to look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.

Thanks for the tag Sam
Thanks for tagging me.. one naija.. happy Sunday beloved ❤️❤️🥰
Heheh. Thanks so much for this weeks edition. It’s always a pleasure to be here again. I missed out on last weeks edition but I am in for this week.
And yeah…
The best version of myself is working towards being CONTENTMENT.
I am not ready to give up and I am not the type that would rush beyond my time.
I like this, really.
Contentment is one virtue that is going into extinction in our generation.
Like, everyone is on the run to be greater than the other. It is more like we are in a competition.
That competition is what I will not put myself in. I can look forward to a better future but not competing with others.
Such competition results in rivalry which is not health for an advancement of life pursuits.
I so much agree with this
Thanks man.
The thing is, shine your shine, I shine my shine. Together we shine our shines🤣
Contentment is a good thing as long as you don't relax on a spot, you are contented with what you have at the moment but still strife to become a better person.
Wowww
Talk to me directly babe
Oil full ur head 🗣️
Haha, thank you sis😂😂
Uwc 🥰
😂 😂. Make i come use small cook spaghetti 🍝

Relax

I don’t know how to cook stew oo. I can cook concoction with spaghetti and yam 😂 😂
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Fear God oo
Who will eat ur concoction
Me and you ooo. 😂. Love your neighbor as you love yourself
Yeah. Getting out of ones comfort zone is what it takes. I really grabbed your message. Hehe. Oil full your head in Nkem language.
Wow... contentment is great virtue
Keep it up bro
Yes thanks so much

What will you do for me to make you trust you ?
I'll buy you fried rat🤣
And we would eat it together with yoghurts. I love your vibes.
I would put in your mouth and you do the same
🤣🤣🤣🤣I rest my case
Don’t rest the case… the case just started
Sigh contentment
Nice
Contentment makes our development much easier to achieve, otherwise, we will be feeling bad we aren't achieving much and also wanna give up on the little improvement we've made cus of lack of contentment.
You are right about that. We should be careful about the kind of race we want to run
Yeah definitely
I have come to a decisive conclusion that it takes a lot of humility to learn.
Sometimes, you may even have to learn as an adult from a child that is much younger than your .
It is only when you knew things, and trending topics, that you can become relevant in the society. Else, one may just be an onlooker.
To say the least, as an African, I understand that our virtues, our brought-up, and our background have imbibed a lot into us. Respect for constituted authority, respect for national symbols, respect for the opposite sex, respect for elders, and respect for human dignity. All these are to be learned, else, one may not be a complete member of society.
I put it to you that many of us have not learned all that is needed to live in a country like ours. A typical example is our leaders.
When we have the ideals behind the foregoing quote, then we can know the essence of living. Be on your way to learning what is needed to be a better person than you have been.
It is rather unfortunate that humans learn what is bad quicker than the good. Let it begin with you, for our society to be comfortable for all.
@floraada, @horla-mideh, @cool08, @tozill come and join in this weekend conversation.
I for join but nija way no pure. We Don carry waitin dey happen in our government into this place. I got tired the third week I entered here. The owner did not fulfill his words.
9ja is always 9ja.... Everyone just won prove say they dey where they have power...
Wow.
Just enjoying the groove every weekend when I get to share my views with my countrymen and women
Sure you are right, even when I am not that active during the week, I always make sure I do not miss out on the engagement.
Once it is Friday, I look forward to this space. And seriously, I glad each time I come in board to learn and unlearn.
Yeah, I'm surprised myself
We mouve any ways.
How is going over there?
Which queue are you on?
New currency!
Petrol queue!
PVC queue!
Petrol ooo... I don't have light here... its annoying
In fact ehn.
This country must work ooo.
Enough of these trial-and-error governments.
It's so bad.
Like, how do we produced fuel and not have enough to for the populace.
@cool08 which of his words did he not fulfill, you should feel free to share and also call his attention to it.
Probably it skipped his mind or something because of busy schedule.
We are one big family and we should correct or call each others attention when necessary.
We look forward to seeing your regular engagement in here 🤗😊
@samostically and @sam.hangout I think you should attend to this.
Thanks for sticking out for me, I might have missed it, I'm waiting for his complaints. Yk, I get assistance from hope too.
Wow, what's the problem, please specify. We are humans, maybe hope and I missed something, please let us know.
This is very apt, thank you for sharing. It is a key virtue - humility and it is one that can take you places.
Humility is a great virtue
It has helped me alot
Agreed
Me too.
It takes one places
Sure ✅👌
You are right 📌
Seriously.
Humanity has to learn humility and imbibe its attributes.
Agreed brother. Your words are very wise 🙏🏾
Thank you bro. It's nice to see you around.
👌👌👌
What's up lady?
Happy Sunday.
Hehe see who is here. It's another great weekend I guess.
You are absolutely right humility is such a great and important virtue in life.
One should always respect humility and be humble to go far in life.
Spot on
Great to have you, albeit you're late 😅
Learning never really stops no matter how knowledgeable we may think we are, also the desire and excitement to learn good things should keep burning in us, nice point you've stated.
I picked that one. Learning good things.
Learning is open. We can learn different things, both good and bad. So, it is in our best interest to learn what will profit us and our immediate environment.
Exactly, way to go bro
👍
Keep being on point.
How's the weekend going with you?
Going well, yours?
Going well with a lot of house chores to attend to.
As the weekend always is, welldone
It will be eased today. Sunday is the calmest day for me.
No matter what we think we have learned, there are still thousands of things left undone so learning continues
And with open mind, we will keep growing in knowledge and become a better version of ourselves 👍
Well said sis.
Learning is a lifelong procedure. And the openness of the mind affiliates learning which in turn increases the chances of self improvement.
Better pikin 😂👍
🤣
Correct.
See accolades!! I dey blush oooo ☺️
Hahaha 😂
Keep blushing oo
Ahaha.
I hear you.
Blushing is a lifestyle after all.
We learn every day, and humility is a vital point of learning, because aside that it will be difficult to learn from a younger person..
Thank you for sharing a great piece 😊
Thank you, @redna.
The fact is that we can learn from anyone irrespective of age or social status. Let's keep our pride so that we can learn through lessons that passes us everyday.
Your right bruh🤞🤗
Thanks sis.
What's your Sunday gonna be like?
In the area of pride
A lot of times pride block so much knowledge that is very vital and leaves one in mediocrity so if you wanna “Develop” so you have to have an open heart and take away pride, cus the universe is so mysterious that you never know where you gain wisdom.
Nice one I must say @mrenglish
Btw your name is quite admirable 😂
Might probably take an English class from you
Ahahah. It's just a name, it doesn't make me perfect at speaking the English language.
You know, we can only get better when we settle the area of pride. Rather, self-worth should be our aim.
Hmm right
🤣
That's what it is man.
Can the society get any better? The way it is going, the society is getting worst and worst every single minutes so is better to know yourself and be alert, improve on yourself daily and stay awake.
Society can get better. A crop of young people are coming up and they are ready to effect the change that society need to get better.
We all should join the team and have a positive mind.
Learning the qualities that makes one a good leader and for sale what becomes a vice to the peaceful existence in the society.
A crop of young people you say! Young people this days are even worse, the old ones are regretting their actions and need change but you see this young fox around the world today, they are worst than witches if they exist.
The young ones preaching change are the ones doing the undoable, so I will still prefer self education, self achievement and self change and staying careful in this world.
Ahaha🤣🤣😂🤣
That is not 100% correct though. Not all young people may be in the class I refer to but I tell you, a group of young folks are awakening the leadership giants in them and are working against mediocrity that have loomed in our nation.
In no time, they will begin to surface. Just don't lose out.
Will be waiting to see those folks come out and change things in the society but right now self improvement is my top priority.
I have started mine too. I want to be entirely different from what evolves out there. I like to be the best version of myself.
That's what I mean, being the best version is needed. The society should not make you think less of yourself but rather growing and been better. Now you are talking.
Thank you.
I hope this becomes the topic of every one. To see the best version of one's self is the best goal anyone can set.
Hehehe see as person just drop overflow knowledge here 📌
You are absolutely right, we learn throughout life time, that for those who truly value life and wants to make it positively meaningful. Because we have a whole lots of people, who just live there life as it comes.
Life is beyond that level of reasoning. You know, at some point in time in our lives, what experiences we have been able to gather become a rallying point in what we put to a situation.
The question about the addiction woulda been ideal but would also be too personal so.
To be the best version of myself, this is a fairly easy question. Do what you love, simple. Now the not so simple part is finding what you really love. You can say you love money, you love video games, you love your job, bla bla bla, but sometimes it can take a lifetime for one to figure what they are really into, so each day should be a day of soul searching for that thing that you enter a complete state of flow whenever you're doing it. I started writing a few months ago and it was one of the best decisions I made. Writing is therapeutic. It is a strong form of meditating and I can tell you for sure that mediating is powerful. Meditating is truly immersing yourself in whatever activity you're doing and not thinking about other random stuff. So to truly be the best version of you, continue to do what you love and if you haven't seen it, keep looking
Love and light ❤️
Hmm, very insightful, continue doing what you love and if you haven't found it search on!
Yes sis.
Thank you ☺️
A day of soul searching
Hmmmm, this word caught my attention full time....
Yea .. doing what I love is a great way to be the best version of myself... and working towards achieving the best of what I love
Spot on. We all wish to be the best version of ourselves but we can only keep working towards it 🙏🏾
Exactly Steve 👏
Doing what I love the most is indeed great way to better my self.
Nice one😊
Thank you 😄
I pray we all figure out our true calling ☺️
Right🤗🤗
Doing what you love and love what you do. Nice contribution
Thank you 🙂
Nice
🤝🏿
It's been a while @sam.hangout, I'm glad I'm able to participate this weekend, where is everybody though?
You never disappoint with the questions, as they are always relatable.
To become a better version of myself, I've learnt to take life easy, enjoy every little moment life offers, detox myself of any bad feeling or energy no matter what it may be, that way I allow positive energy and opportunities flow in easily.
I'm also open to widening my knowledge on various fields, as the saying goes, learning never stops.
I'm inviting @dikaan my AKS brother and @stellageorge, two wonderful and intriguing writers, to a part of this interesting hangout.
My dear...these are important steps to personal development. Learning never ends....we gat to be open for learning even to our juniors
Self detox is cool as well 👍🤗
Yes mama, even from Juniors, as I got to know about hive from my younger ones 🙂
Letting go of bad energy is everything for me.
Enjoyment is cool too.
Nice one there! 😊
Thank you @redna you get the point🙂
🤗🤗
Bad energy stay far away.
That's the secret to a peaceful life.
Yes it is
Hello folks..
How una dey today? Hope una gallant as I am ... alright, it's another beautiful weekend engagement and I am not seeing many people on today's party 🎉🎉, kilode? Una still on the road? Chicken 🐔 and drinks go soon finish oo 😂😂
Okay let's check out the question..
As for me, what I do is that: I try not to dwell in my past failure but rather find ways not to fail again on the same thing....I try to create my happiness even when things seems unpleasant. I forgive easily inorder to enjoy my peace of mind which is a luxury to me thereby making me to remain focused without interferences.
I try to work on my weakness and develop my strength . I don't fail to create my daily goals even when I set monthly and yearly goals. I avoid to place high expectations on people inorder not to receive a dissapoinment that would leave me devastated. Finally, learning never ends of course....I humble myself in asking questions steady and open my mind for more knowledge ❤️
@princessbusayo, @dimmablogs I missed you oo... @adaezeinchrist, @hopestylist , @quduus1, where all of una dey nah
@sam.hangout na my entry be this 😉
Working on strength and letting go of anger from offense is top premium.. That's really a unique version of oneself .
Setting daily goals and achieving them is power..
Thank you for sharing.😊
Yes my darling 🥰
Thanks 👍
🤗❤️
Yes my dear nice talk by not expecting much from people, because human being can serve you breakfast even for night
Sigh nice
Good morning all just landed sorry for coming late
It’s the way I’m patiently waiting for @merit.ahama post 😂😂
And @hopestylist 😌
Better, she might come and teach you things 😁
Me personally I dey wait for u the place too calm do come joor
Me?
😂😂
Lol you go wait tire o
Them wan use work finish me for this side 😩😂
Sorry 😂🙌
This your sorry nor genuine sha 😒
What story
Sigh, most of the time it isn't actually what we can do but who we come in contact with to do what we can do to bring out the best version of us.
Meeting the right people
This is a key role in self-development, why?
It's one thing to have goals and plans it's another thing to execute them rightly with or without help but if there's no way you'll need help. But aside from this you also need the right people who wouldn't distract you but instead encourage and help you get that development you seek.
So if you have all of it figured out and you aren't with the right circle it will definitely go down except you leave, then things will surely be different.
Thanks for reading. ❤️

Ohhh Yaa hawayou all doing my people. This weekend be as e get.but regardless it's still my favourite of all time..
💃
To the question
So I have this bad habit of
snubbing
especially with calls. I have this fright for call or will I say I have call anxiety. I'll give a person my phone number and when the person calls the next moment am already scared and tired from not knowing what to say and not wanting to stay long on a conversation.(don't get me wrong,I can keep conversation regardless) So if the person like, he should give me a million call I'll refuse to pick even when I don't even know what the intentions are!!
Sometimes my mum will be like "pick call na,you no know wetin the person want tell you"lol.
This isn't helping me at all, on several occasions I've lost money,plus valuable information because of snubbing a call.
I'm really trying to change this as it's not adding to my improvement but it's really not been easy..
But I'll keep trying regardless 😊
Kai! I missed. I hope it will come again this week?
