Hello, amazing ladies of hives! I welcome you all to my blog. I am so happy that I am alive and participating in this week's contest #166 with one of the amazing souls in the block chain, 
Happy new year to all the amazing ladies in the #ladiesofhive! I wish us all a year full of grace, blessings, and abundance.
Coming down to the content, what is the one lesson or piece of knowledge you learned this year that benefited you as a lady?
The previous year was full of many lessons for me, both those I learned from experience and those I learned from people. I so much believe that any lesson we learn will build us strong.
One lesson learned
Lesson learned: Never give up. Last year, I have many challenges that almost put me into depression. At a point, I want to give up, but I didn't know what kept me going. Last year, I loss my daddy. At that point, I feel like giving up. There was nobody to run to and no shoulder to lay on during these stages of life. I was down. I was at a point of giving up my education because there was nobody to train me again.
Something in me keeps telling me to never give up. Seriously, this word really kept me going. I keep fighting so that my education will not die. I have to look for a part-time job so that I can see myself through education seriously. This word, never give up, strengthens me.
Looking back at my life today, I am very happy that I didn't give up on myself. Had I given up on myself, then I couldn't be where I am today. Seriously, there is nothing like self-motivation. I was being motivated by my innermost being. I never knew I had pushed myself to the level I am today.
I didn't only benefit from this lesson; this lesson built me into the woman I am today. This lesson makes me strong.
Thank goodness I didn't give up on myself and my education. Currently, I am in three hundred. Soon, I will be done with my education.
This is me telling every lady: never give up on your goal or on yourself; never think less of yourself; always believe that you will make it. Giving up is never an option.
Cheers to our new beginning! Happy New Year, ladies.
