Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It's another edition in the #hiveghana community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt growth.
Growth is one thing that every human looks forward to and a continuous process. Nobody prays to remain the way they are; every human prays for growth. From the time I was born up to now, I have really grown into an amazing woman, and this growth is visible. I can remember when I was small; life was so easy because I had nothing to worry about. My parents were there providing for my needs and taking care of me, but now they don’t do all those things for me. I provide for myself and my family; that is growth for you.
I always tell myself that growth is a beautiful thing, and it can happen in so many ways—physically, mentally, or emotionally. Life is indeed a journey, and during this journey, we make a lot of decisions; some are right, and some are wrong, but we learn our lessons and move on. Growth is like a plant, and growth is one thing that is sure for you. For every human, it is a lifetime process.
Growth comes with maturity. The way you think, act, and take decisions will change. When I was a little girl, I always stayed on my own because my friends would always body shame, and each time they body shamed, I would always cry, and I would run home to my mom. The moment I started growing, I realised that nobody had the right to make me unhappy. I started building confidence. That is when I realised that a little of yesterday had really grown into a woman.
When I look at myself and the milestones I have achieved, I can beat my chest and say, Indeed, I grew. This is not where I was five years ago. I am now a graduate of business administration working in a firm that I put in all my best for back then. I was not uncertain; I worked so hard, put in my best, learnt from my mistakes, and withstood every challenge that came my way. As I spent more time in the organisation, I acquired much experience, and I became more useful to my organisation. I started heading some departments and working under people. I became a leader that people look up to. This is growth for me because I didn’t expect to be where I am today. My mom will always tell me, Don’t kill yourselfwhen you think that things are not working out for you; just keep hoping and believing in God. One amazing thing about growth is it comes with transformation, and when this growth happens, you will be fulfilled and happy.
As a human, there are times that when you look at your peers and how far they have gone in life and you look at your growth, it seems that you are in a place where nothing is moving. Don’t be discouraged. One thing is sure: if you pause and think, you will realise that you have really grown, just that you have not gotten to the place you desire. Don’t forget life is a gradual process that takes time and hard work.
The picture is mine
Growth doesn’t just happen; it takes time. All you need is to be patient and trust the process. Just like when you plant a seed, you don’t harvest immediately; you have to patiently wait for it to germinate. That is how growth is.
This is my response to the #hiveghana weekly prompts topic of growth.
