Looking at the mirror, I knew things had really changed about me .
Looking at the mirror, I knew things had really changed about me .
Looking back to those days , when poverty was really battling with me , things were very hard for me and my grinding was as if I was carrying all the crosses of my family. I will like to put all my reasons for grinding so hard accordingly.please read through.
1.I grind so hard because I don't like to beg.
I am someone who likes to be very reserved and like giving myself respect, though people around me interpreted in to pride which I don't like to hear you telling me .I believe that instead of depending on you for survival why can't I work for myself and get things done to gain myself respect because no matter who helped you , when rancor comes between both of you they will surely remind you of those days you were nothing and some may even say they made who you are. Because of these kind of thing I don't like begging though if I am given a thing or being appreciated with something I will accept it .
Note: I am not saying that when I fault you I won't apologize or beg you, I will definitely beg.
2.I grind so hard because I wanted to be able to put food on my table and also take good care of my family, you know what hurt a man so bad than any other thing is if you see your kids and wife very hungry and there is nothing you could do about it , it makes man go crazy .those who understands can relate to what I am saying .I hustle hard so that I won't find myself in that category as a man .
3.I grind so hard because I want people to respect me , I want people to see me as a responsible person, mostly my wife and children .When you are responsible and helpful, people will respect you .But if you depend on people you will definitely lose your respect.
These are the reasons why I am very serious at my early stage and decided I work very hard.
Going back to what happened recently,I was ready for church last Sunday and I was waiting for my wife to get ready too.
I was like babe ,
we are running late,
She said I am almost done , after waiting for some time I then decided to check her up if truly she was almost done .
I couldn't believe that she was still busy doing her make- up, I came closer to her just to hurry her up. On getting to her side, I found myself looking at the mirror too , my wife was like , see my man , I was laughing and I was like seriously how come I am this fat? If you see me while I'm still grinding hard you would never believe I can add any weight and talk less of being fat.
After seeing myself I knew my level had really changed.thanks to God Almighty.
Thanks for reading my post.

You work hard because you love your family so much. Love makes the body fat : )
Thank you so much
Grit and determination support life improvements, even if they sometimes seem slow and painful. The part of your post about the interaction with your wife is the best part. It includes the "storytelling" aspect of creative nonfiction we are looking for, with people, interactions and dialogue. Thank you for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
