There is nothing in life that can be compared to motivation. And motivation is what can come to us in various ways and through the people around us as humans. We can feel motivated and inspired in an environment surrounded by good people with good energy and at the same time can be feel unmotivated because of the people we come across in our daily activities. These are the positive and negative part of life that will make and show who we will become tomorrow.
We aspire for things that are good in life because we have seen someone or couple of people who inspire us with who they are or what they have become through the struggles of life, which in order words, bring us feelings of wanting to be like them. And we should also note that inspiration is that lifestyle that can sometimes be the other way round where we see people leaving the positive side of life and going for the negative which is why its like a “two edges sword ⚔️”
I will always love ❤️ my mum even though she has gone to heaven to be with the Lord. My mum was my biggest inspiration and will continue to be. My role model that impacted so much in me and motivated me through the years she spent on earth. The lifestyle she lived, the strength she called with her and the belief that struggles in life is what everyone will go through before getting to the reaping days.
Growing up I came to know my father as a businessman who was always traveling because of the kind of business he was doing. My dad was a versatile businessman who was specialized into food stuff, buying yam 🍠 from the North and coming to the East to sell them. Then he will buy red palm oil in drums 🪘 from the East and will load and go to the North to sell. He was always on the move and on the road. This made it so hard for my siblings and I to enjoy 😉 that fatherly closeness from my dad, but my mother did not allow this feelings to get to us. She made sure see us through our early days and into the youth when life started becoming meaningful to me.
When I finally finished my college, working and got married, struggles of having children 👧 and working became a big problem for me since I had it in mind to be a career woman 👩🏻, but mother took it upon herself to alternate her home and mine to make sure my children are well taken care off which helped me from not resigning from the job I had in hand then. She was my energy through my children growing up until into their early secondary schools which I would not have been able to do.
And even while she was helping me, she was at the same also coordinating with other of my siblings. Making sure everything were always in place. I saw my mum as one most strongest woman who never gives up easily and which is one thing I learned and took from her. I also learned from my mother why we should believe in the future since tomorrow is what we don’t see. She always told me to keep efforts in all that I do even though the results are not coming immediately. Her watch word was that “Every Effort We Put In Life Will Definitely Pay Off Some Day”.
This watch word is a big one for me because when I first came here on Hive as a Newbie through my daughter @Chel-Koby, it was so discouraging. But one mind keep reminding me of my mother’s watch word. All J needed is to pay attention and keep putting in my best. And gradually I stated interacting with friends which took me to other communities.
However, apart from my mother and my family, I have also been inspired here on hive through communities and my hive friends. The journey here has never been easy but everyday comes with a new lesson and ideas of all kinds as someone who likes to explore. I see life as one that needs positive energy and motivation which in most cases lies in our hands. We need to encourage ourselves in all that we do despite the ups and downs obstacles we encounter everyday through this journey called life. Its all through inspiration and motivation which originated from my role model, my mum.
