Ladiesofhive community contest wk 156: Hope

2️⃣ What makes you hold onto hope? Enlighten us on something you do to create a safe, positive space around yourself, to boost the belief or conviction to always look for the cloud with a silver lining, even if it means starting again?

"Don't loose hope, no situation is permanent." - African Proverb

Hello Everyone, you are welcome to my blog, am glad to be here once again on #ladiesofhive platform, to participate in the weekly contest, questions given this week by @joanstewart.

Life itself is hard, but when we keep a positive mindset towards all that we do, something meaningful will come out of it, good things are not achieved easily and much efforts needs to be put into it. It will not always be easy, we need to communicate with the creator through prayers backed up with hardwork. A lot of things are learn, unlearned, mistakes are made too, we can only be triumphant when we use our mistakes as a lesson and guideline not to make the same again, this is where HOPE comes in, by pushing when it all seems blank, things are going well as we want it to be... just hold on, when it seems there is no way forward, we should have hope it will be better.

There are times when things don't work out our way and we feel so sad and worried,we are just still, not doing anything, but how can we achieve if nothing is done to improve on ourself. I have failed so many times, I felt backward and depressed, I thought I had disappointed my parents when I didn't graduate the year I ought to,a lot of things was going through my mind, maybe they wished I could be better, but they kept on showing me love, after graduation, I guess the real struggle began,seeking for jobs, seeing others finding something to do while am still on the search, the expectations are high, without a word the signs are glaring, you have to fight for your self and be strong

I stopped thinking like a victim, I began to control and take charge of every aspect of my life, what I think, and my health, I let go of the past for my peace of mind, and avoid anything that can trigger past hurt and I gave myself more love and stopped blaming myself for the mistakes I have made, all these I do for my sanity and health, because if you don't give yourself self-love no one else will.

Thanks for checking on my blog
