Hello Hive-Reachout members! The week has just begun, and everyone here is busy and engaged. So, #hivereachout suggested we write about one thing we wish to change about ourselves. Hmmmm......This is quite an interesting writing prompt, and I can completely relate to it.
There are many things I wish to change about myself (I mean, who wouldn't? I guess everyone has something they want to work on). But before diving into the main dish, let's start with an appetizer, shall we?😎
Change is a constant and inevitable part of life. You would agree that as we've grown up, some of the traits we once exhibited have disappeared. You may also agree that currently, there are things you wish you could change about yourself. These changes usually aim to make you either better or worse. There are times when you look in the mirror and think, "I wish I could change this about me. If only I could let go of this, then I could do that."
Now, onto the main dish (hehe, tighten your seatbelt and get ready for a ride because I'm about to reveal a part of myself you might not know about).😎
One thing I wish I could change is my tendency to believe I'm not doing enough, which stems from low self-esteem. This has significantly affected my self-improvement. Let me share a little story with you.
Walk with me.....
I once attended a school competition. I wasn't a contestant; I was just part of the audience. During the event, a question was posed to the contestants, but none of them could answer it. The question was then directed to the audience. I knew the answer, but I couldn't bring myself to say it. Negative voices filled my head, and I quietly succumbed to them, choosing to stay seated. A few minutes later, someone in the crowd stood up and provided the exact answer I had in mind—and yes, it was correct! To my surprise, an important personality awarded that person a cash prize equivalent to the school fees. Just like that! 😩 That experience taught me how I missed out on recognition and a prize because of my low self-esteem, and from that moment, I began to battle my mindset.
I know the impact low self-esteem can have; I've experienced it firsthand, and it doesn't end well. One major consequence is that it prevents you from realizing your goals and following your passions. You become intimidated even when you have so much to offer.
However, I am gradually evolving into a better person. The fact that I'm sharing this with you shows that I am no longer allowing myself to be intimidated. The Hive Blockchain has been instrumental in bringing out my potential. I remind myself daily that I am worth it! I can and will pursue my goals without feeling less important. I speak positively to myself, and slowly but surely, I am coming out of my shell.
Thank you so much for reading, and I appreciate your support🙏💖
