I think I've said it a lot of times before now that I was never outspoken about myself or feel any confidence in myself, shy and too reserved were the right words to describe me before. I've done a lot of things, tried different methods to become less of shy and more of self love and everything that comes with it.
I know this approach to the topic is quite different from all others have been sharing for theirs but it is the one lesson I am most grateful to Hive about. To many, Hive is here for them to earn, engage, be consistent in learning something new and other things.
For me, Hive is a platform that has helped me worked on myself for the better.

I've been on Hive for more than 2 years and the changes I've experienced in my life and what I think about myself is a lot to be grateful about. Honestly, I didn't notice the difference myself until my brother and a few of my friends pointed it out for me to see. They noticed, they saw it in me and they were so sure that Hive was doing more than putting money in my wallet.
Inside the blockchain, I've learnt so much more and I think I've written too much about it so I'm just going to focus on the one that has affected my life outside the chain and that is... Building self esteem & Confidence.
I'm not the shy lady of a few years back considering the fact that I can converse well enough with people anywhere, talk in front of a crowd and face the camera to do stuffs I thought I couldn't do because of my reserved nature.
Thanks to Hive helping me grow my self esteem, I've been appreciating myself and been doing that more often than before when I used to think I wasn't good enough and a lot of people around me are doing really great being outspoken and making good use of opportunities they come across.
I must say this is as a result of the support I got when I began to face the camera here on Hive, it helped boost my confidence as well and I began to believe in what I can do and how far these things can take me even if the route may be difficult sometimes.
I may not find these very useful now but going forward, I think I'll need all the self esteem and confidence to live through what life takes me on. I feel I would do a lot more amazing things for myself and those around me if I keep building these abilities in me.
Hive is helping me achieve that by every content I create, every song I sing and most importantly, every problem I solve myself. I get better with Hive being here and I am most appreciative about it, I love who I am becoming and I plan to keep it up.
