When I was an adolescent, I admired a lot of my mates who lives more comfortable than I am. Their parents were well off, and they do take care of them so well. They always appeared in nice dresses and shoes and could pay any fee that was asked to be paid in school almost immediately. At one point, sincerely, I imagined swapping my parents😉🤦, but that's by the way. It's just one of those random thoughts of a teenager, and I know you wouldn't blame me, would you? Lol
My parents did not have the resources to give me such a life, but I appreciate their sacrifices and efforts to be sure that my siblings and I are good regardless. All they did boiled down to preparing a better future for us, even with some struggles. I remember getting lost in thought one day, still an adolescent girl, imagining a better future for myself. I was thinking that miracles should just happen and my future would be brighter than what I was experiencing. Then, as each day passed, I kept growing in maturity, and I discovered that anyone can actually be great. It doesn't matter whether you come from a rich family or not. Being great in the future is not meant for some particular set of people. I started seeing people who were once from poor families but later had businesses, assets, and money after some years. I heard their success stories, and I discovered that hard work, commitment, perseverance, consistency, etc. were the ingredients that made them who they are today.
Things about life became more clear to me during my university days. Even as I still struggled then to get my basic needs, I already knew that I had all it took to make my future great. I joined some of my classmates who sell dental materials in school, and I was making an effort to earn a little money, at least as a starting point to a better future. You see, when I see some of the hivers who grabbed this blockchain opportunity at their early age in life, I admire them. Information is indeed power! This brings me to another aspect to chip in my 2 cents. ...
Your future can also be great if you have great information. At times, your circle of friends matters; there are some people whose their paths and yours will cross, only a piece of information from them will change your future for good.
Can I predict my future?
Well, this is a question that looks so simple to answer easily, but dreams without effort will remain dreams until further notice.
With everything that is happening around me now, I can use it to project what my tomorrow will look like. I might be wrong or right anyway, but I see a bright and great future for me. This is because I am a hard-working woman, and being a parent currently makes responsibilities so high as well, on the quest to give my family and me a better future, I kept working hard. Even before becoming a parent, I have been a woman working towards changing my adolescent experience, craving a good future for myself, but the presence of my children has become a more powerful driving force for me. I remain focused on my dreams; I work and engage in business; I am committed to whatever I set out to achieve, and I don't give up until I achieve my set goals. So with the way I am going, I see myself fulfilling my business ideas and employing some unemployed youths in our society. I see myself breaking out of financial limitations through the great knowledge I am equipping myself with and becoming more financially stable to travel out of my country to another for vacation or business any time I want without limitations. This is the kind of future I see for myself, and with consistent effort, hard work, God's grace, and perseverance, I hope to experience a great future.
