MY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY

Designed using Canva

Hello, my people of Hive. It's been a while since I've been active due to personal issues, but now I'm back.

Also, this is my first time posting in this @personal development community.

There is a significant challenge I have always been faced with in showing up daily, and that is consistency.

Therefore, I took up a call to embark on a journey of consistency by participating in a 30-days writing challenge hosted by Triple C.

It's a community I stumbled on WhatsApp; they help writers practice the art of creativity and consistency.

We chose yesterday to create a content calendar, and the challenge starts today.

Personal Development

The journey of self-development starts with wrong events that have happened in one's life at one time or another.

I have a saying that if something didn't go wrong for you, you wouldn't see the need to take the next step. Well! It's something that has worked for me several times.

I've had a very rough, heartbreaking, and sad story play out in my life, but I wouldn't say it was not fair it happened; I'm glad it all played out the way it did.

I know you are curious to know what actually happened. Relax! It's just a few lines down.

First, let's define personal development; it's a stage or phase where you get to and think of improving yourself.

The moment you check through your life and realize some things are not going the way it's supposed to, then it dawns on you that some qualities are missing in you—the point at which you took a step to rectify or recover yourself.

This was how it all started for me; as someone who has experienced failed relationships, no matter how hard I tried to please in terms of commitment, sacrifice, respect, and what have you.

I just realized that everything I was doing was working against me.

I refused to let history repeat itself in my last relationship, and I called it quits.

I told my friend then that I needed time to focus, develop and equip myself.

I knew something was off that I needed to fix. I searched myself and found that I needed to be valid before satisfying another person.

There and then, I made a positive U-turn.

I wouldn't have found the need to improve on myself if my life had been so smooth and rosy.

I took control of my life; I learned new skills, joined different online classes, paid for courses, read books, etc.

It was during my thirst for knowledge I started writing and earning income from it.

Gradually, I discovered more and looked for a niche where I could function well and help people.

The first client I got at that time wanted me to help build his blog by writing on Mental health.

Wow! I saw it as an opportunity to educate and help people more, and that was how it all started.

I started writing about mental health, self-esteem, depression, relationship tips, etc.

Well, Let's save the rest for another day, as you will see more of me in the next couple of weeks.

Take this as a charge to take control of your life, develop yourself and be helpful to yourself first.
