I have often talked about my growth process which is accompanied by a whole lot of obstacles, growing definitely isn't an easy thing, as a child I remember wanting to be an adult so fast, and now I'm wishing I slowed down on the stages That brought me into adulthood because I feel there were things I didn't get to learn because majorly because I never had teachers in that aspect of life and obviously these were lessons that weren't taught in school.
These missed lessons became what I tagged as demons haunting me through my growth process, pushing me back to learning and understanding the whole concept as an adult coupled with the responsibilities being an adult brings. I've had to struggle with my demons and learn to learn from them if I must grow with them. Looking these demons in the eye was the first step I took in my growth process having battled the self-denials that are accompanied by demons. I realized a lot of people can not look at the demon In the eye, talk less, learn their ways, understand it, and grow thereby. A lot will prefer the easy part of self-denial by pretending not to notice the demon(s) lagging around.
I see demons as levels of knowledge we missed while growing up, I wished I was taught about business and wealth creation early in life, I had to learn through the pressures and everything in between, I've had to learn not by anyone in particular, but from my own mistakes, I've had to grow through my mistakes bearing in mind that there will be more mistakes to be made, and obviously more mistakes to learn from. I could have easily folded my hands to become mediocre and do the conversational things people do to survive. One of my teachers taught me living is better than survival, but he never fully taught me how to live.
Now I am here with a few achievements from both hive and the real world but it isn't still enough. I had to ask myself some really demanding questions a few days back, one of which was to what purpose am I writing on hive, do I just want to write for money or build a reputation and legacy from scratch that would serve as a ladder for those coming after me. I don't have it all figured out yet, but I have taken the first step to look my demons in the eye and see that they aren't as fearful as they look, they are just the knowledge I'm yet to acquire but I wouldn't know if I never dared to look.
