Hello all!
It has almost been two weeks ago since I posted. I have been very busy with the project. Suddenly, things are going very fast. The beta launch of the promo-steem site was announced, and another discord group was formed, of which I am the moderator. All is looking great and I am very excited for the upcoming months!
Now I got some extra help from amazing people (thank you @lordkingpotato, @raj808 and @evecab), I got more time to to start another event! Because the previous holiday event was fun and also at the same time useful to the members of my community, I will continue doing these with the help of @evecab.
Each event will be different but the rewards will be samilar.
There will always be:
- Prizes
- and curation by me for new users (under 6 months). I will look if people's posts can be submitted to @curie or @ocd.
"Go Beyond" Challenge
We are almost two weeks in 2018. Many have set their resolution or goals for this year, while some might not. Personally, I never make New Years resolutions. I think of them nothing more than setting personal goals. To me it makes no difference when I set them at the start of the year or half way. To be honest I think the idea is quite dull, it's like Valentine's day when people are supposed to show their affection for their lover.
When we set goals or resolutions, we are not content with something in our current situation. There is something we would like to change. We would like to do better. We would like to be a better version of ourselves. We want to Go Beyond our current limitations. I believe all of us that joined Steemit, have done this in a kind of way.
For this challenge the theme will be:
Self-improvement
Source
The Challenge
Write below in a comment about a personal weakness that you want to overcome this year. Did you always struggled with this or has it developed overtime?
New users (max 6 months old) who have written a decent comment will be curated by me, to be featured in @curie or @ocd.
3 people with the best comments will receive 50% of the total rewards of this post in STEEM.
Two contestants will be chosen by me and @evecab, the last one will be decided by the most votes.
Everyone can vote by commenting "vote" below the comments.
Votes can be casts multiple times, but only one each comment.
NOTE: We hold the right to make votes unvalid if I have the suspicion of them being cast by empty accounts
Thank you very much for @futurerhinker that has made this excellent contest.
I am going to make sure that I am not a perfect Steemian yet. I have to learn much more on Steemit and struggling to make my weakness to be strength.
I do not say that I am focusing on my weakness because it is not good to set me down. I think everybody has the strenght. I just want to improve my performance and getting strength mainly in composing a good and original contents in Steemit. I know I must be a good steem and steemit promotor and I am still working hard on it.
During 165 days in Steemit I got some progress in writing. I promoted steemit to many people in Aceh, Indonesia and 155 of them have been in this ateem blockchain social media. But I have a big weakness in finding a good idea in promoting steem/steemit because some of my friends say the steemit is similar to a multi lebel marketing company.
When I told them about steemit and they got paid if they make a post, they told me that was not possible and wasting times to join the Steemit.
That is not what I want to listen and I think that is one of my weakness.

You belong to the successful Steemians @bahagia-arbi. I first had a Steemit account more than you, but for some parts, you have already exceeded me. Now, I even have to learn and ask you. Not just me, a lot of Steemians admit it. Thanks.
Voted...!
Thank you for yoir support Bang @ayijufridar. You are a good teacher for me and our community.
Thank you for a great idea! I have always thought of myself as one dimensional in aspect. I write decently enough, not great but about average (I have low self-esteem issues lol) and it was always the written word that I was most comfortable with.
My oldest sister is very good in photography and film making, my 2nd sister is good in singing and painting, my youngest brother has a knack for numbers that borders to genius levels and I write my poems and short stories. Thats how it has always been growing up.
Being in Steemit I have seen so many people who are multi talented and I am a bit jealous
I am a one trick pony that eventually would lose its novelty and no one would engage my work.
A lot of the people in my group always hear my complaint that I can't draw to save my life. Infact one person @jacinta.sevilla even created a competition aimed for non-artists because I think she is tired of my excuses. If interested to join go to this link
I bluffed my way in arts and crafts in school, drawing assignments usually done by my sister albeit with lower skill level so I won't get caught and anything artistic in nature I just clammed up and past it to someone else.
This year I strive to go beyond the limitation I set myself a long time ago. This year I set to learn how to draw using digital media. I would try traditional method as well but I think my success will lie in using the digital form. I want to create webtoons showing my life, my misadventures with work, my boundless energy of a beagle and everything else that I find funny.
I will not let the voice in my head say "I can't do it" I will do my best to overcome this limitation and go beyond and reinvent myself as a multifaceted individual both here in Steemit and outside.
Who knows someone might appreciate my webtoons and I go viral haha.

Go on for your dream. Its good if we stretch forth our abilities because I believe that there are still hidden talents that are about to be discovered by ourselves alone. I also love arts because it is fun.:)
Thank you for the encouraging words! Yes I have always wanted to do art.
Hey there, @maverickinvictus! I recognize some of my own insecurities with what you're describing, and I think we all have them to a certain level. I'm sure that you are much better at drawing than you think =). Just keep doing it and learning, because the worst you can do it not try at all and let that little voice in your head win.
True enough it is better to try and fail than not try it all and think of a whatif :)
A lot of people have been telling me to try and giving me encouragement.
yes, now you need to believe that you can and tell yourself every day =)
I enjoyed reading this man. And I agree with you. We need to believe in ourselves that we can do it for it to happen.
I believe in you bro.
Thanks always a pleasure to see your posts and I am always willing to help out just like what you did to me.
It was a huge boost to me both in Steemit and my self.

I knew it, I always had the feeling that we're 2 peas in the same pod... I can't draw as well even if my life depends on it... Although I am thankful for my writing skills, I am still green-eyed on folks who draw so damn good without even breaking a sweat.
Lol that is why we need to go beyond our limitations!
We can do this James haha
Already on it lodi, last quarter of 2017 I started my digital arts journey... Photoshop and solidworks for 3D modeling... Cheers!
This is one of the glorious things that Steemit has brought to our lives. It pushed us to go beyond our comfort zones and explore other fields. Glad you opened your doors to other things to explore @maverickinvictus! You are too awesome to settle hiding in your poems and stories:)

I always believed in your talent sir @maverickinvictus actually you are one of the person's that I look up to with regards to posting and commenting on this site. I really love how you empower us with your words and your blog post.
From the group chat etc. You are one of the best leaders that I did have and thank you for that. With regards to the media / arts for sure you can do it to. The cry to do it is there already you just need to unleash the artist within further.

Weakness, haha. I have got many of those. When they talk about how there weakness is weighing them down I just smile and think to more self, if only you know how much weakness I have. I read somewhere that once you accept your weakness no one would be able to use it against you.
One of my biggest weakness is inability to show care to loved ones. Now understand me, I care about them, I really do, when any of my loved one is suffering, I am always suffering more but I don't know how to show the care. A lot of friends and families keep complaining of how I don't call, text or do anything at l. I have struggled with this all my life. I try to show I care then all of a sudden, baaam, I don't show again. I always have peoples best interest at heart, even people I don't know into to. And even when I call or text, I grow tired of it, I started to realise that only when am with them face to face that is actually easy for me to show and most times am not always with them. Recently the girl I like went to another guy, I couldn't show love, my fear for love has grown am afraid to love any girl again but I don't blame her still, I have been struggling with my self, even I don't show my self love, I suffer myself, beat up my self mentally sometimes. Its so difficult.
Sometimes i feel like killing my self because when this people complain to me, I feel so heart broken💔. I hate my self 😫.
wow that's a tough one! My brother is a little bit like that too, and I'm always giving him a hard time for it. It's always good to remember that relationships go both ways, by receiving and giving (love and attention). I think if you keep that in mind you can overcome this. Fingers crossed, good luck!
Thanks alot ma'am. Id start paying more attention now
Don't hate yourself bro. If you truly love them, they will see it.
Thanks for sharing
Hello!! Thanks to @futurethinker and @evecab for participating in this contest.
I have never made a resolution at the beginning of the year, I simply set goals and make the necessary effort to reach them, of course with the help of God.
Since I was a girl I have had the problem of being a very insecure person myself, and until now at the age of 43 I am still a very insecure person of my skills or talents that I may have, I have fought against that, but not I have been able to overcome it. That has caused loss of jobs, and opportunities that have not been presented to me again. This year I have presented a new challenge, I still do not know what date of the year it will be, it is an opposition contest, I am terrified of the idea of presenting this contest, as it is very strong and requires a lot of preparation. I have waited for this opportunity for many years and there are many people who have encouraged me to do it, they tell me that I have the necessary preparation to participate. I have taken the resolution to present it and face my fears.
With the help of God trusting in his promise in Joshua 1: 9 "Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go".
I will strive and be brave, trusting that God will help me get the best out of me and achieve this goal that I have been pursuing for years.

When I was younger I also had that problem. Missed a lot of opportunities, but then changed when I saw I had nothing to lose in trying. Maybe it was because I didn't what other people thought of me anymore. Because the opportunity was more important to me.
Thank you for sharing :) @kiriatjrb
Thanks to you @futurethinker y @evecab for the opportunity to participate and grow on this platform, professionally and personally!
Thank you @futurethinker for another opportunity. Also, a big shout out to @evecab. Thanks
Now to the reason we are here....
One personal weakness that I would really love to overcome this year is the fear of failure
At the age of 9, I was taken from Lagos to Abuja to live with me older sister(11 years older than me) and her husband. My sister was all shades of strict and harsh; her husband didn't make it easier...
They flogged me at every little mistake any normal child would make, made me feel so pressured about my grades in school such that if I failed subject, I would get beaten, made me do manual labour that was beyond me that time.
I sincerely felt like a slave. It was a terrible experience that destroyed my self esteem. I couldn't speak out to talk or do things again because I was scared of being flogged or embarrassed in public. I cried almost everyday and at a point I became so scared to even come home after school or go on midterm breaks.
Because I was still young at heart and I lived with them for about 9 years, the fear became a part of me, I completely lost faith in myself and it has directly affected every area of my life...
Now, I still have that problem. I get scared of taking up new challenges, get scared of investing in great business ideas, get scared of pushing myself to the limit because I'll be scared I might fail and fail bad.
This year, I'm really hoping I can stand bold and overcome the fear totally because I've discovered that in life, it is people who are fearless that break new grounds...
No great person on earth has reached his great goals by living in "fear of failure"....
And that is why I cannot thank you enough @futurethinker. You gave me a very sweet JumpStart through the last contest you held.. Even though I participated out of fear and didn't expect to get anything out of it.
You made me believe more in myself that I can do anything if only I try...
I am forever grateful for the encounter with you @futurethinker.

I watched a video of Elon Musk onces when he talked about this. He said that he does feel fear. All the great achievers feel fear, but I think that the emotion of belief takes over, when they find it important enough.
For me I fear that I won't achieve anything, because I fear of doing it. To get where you want you need to take risks, but if you do nothing, to me that is more riskier. When I realised that It was easier for me do things differently, such as getting into crypto.
Thank you for sharing this. It made my day better :)
Thank you very much sire for the encouraging words too...

tough story you had as a kid!!! I'm glad that you are not letting your fear get in the way this time. Everyone feels fear or nervousness when trying new things, but you can challenge that into something positive. Use it as fuel to work extra hard. Once you've succeeded at something that scared you, you are even more proud of yourself.

One of my weakness is speaking in public. I have never enjoyed making expositions or presentations and I always struggle when I was forced to make them because of academic requirements. Even if I know a subject 100% if I need to make a presentation in front of a lot of people I will probably do it bad.
A complete different story is if I need to take a test or do an investigation, writing is much more easy to me, and it allows me to express myself better.
This is why I put in my introduction that “I don’t stutter when writing” lol
This reminds of a really interesting study by a sociologist called Edwin Lemert - he looked at stuttering among NW coast Indian tribes and found that stuttering only existed among those tribes which put an emphasis on public speaking (i.e. status was linked to your ability to speak in public), in those tribes where there was no such public-speaking-status norm, stuttering simply didn't exist!
Lucky we've got the Net!
I wonder why they got those Results?
the idea is that stuttering is socially constructed - i.e. it's only emerges because of the stress induced by public speaking. It's an extreme development of labelling theory - someone fails at school because they are labelled a failure... someone develops a stutter because society says they MUST speak in public and be good at it.
Fastest entry I have ever seen 2 minutes! I see writing definitely comes easy to you. Two minutes man..
I can imagine, it's a big hurdle to overcome. Everybody has something, I hope in time you will learn to deal with it. @dedicatedguy
Thank you for always entering the events :)
I really appreciate to you have you in our community 😄
ahhh I've always hated public speaking! I manage to fake it pretty well, but I always get very nervous!
Yeah! Sometimes I wish I could put a robot there to speak for me hahhaha
Same boat I stutter if I will be speaking in front of others may it be reportings and stuff. From stuttering to knees being shaky and sometimes unable to read the index card I experience that and still experiencing it.
I always stay behind the background but told myself that if I want to change I need to step up and do it. As of today I am still stuttering but very attacks left.

I would like to overcome this year one of most personal weakness i got which is not believing in myself and in God. I struggled with this since early age and it only grow stronger in time. Being here and being deeply involved in last few weeks helped me grow more my inner confidence through the simple fact of helping others..and i have strong belief that maybe i wouldn't totally overcome this painful weakness but at least half of it i think i will be able to conquer it:)..
@sunnyali You can do it :) Everyone is stronger in different aspects!
My biggest weakness is overcoming pride
I've been told of how proud I am by several people but the annoying thing is that I keep denying this accusation and this just makes me get angry at others which still leads to "pride"
I've tried severally to adjust but my efforts are only fruitful while I'm still aware.
Once I get unawares, I get to respond to simple questions in ways that annoys so bad that I make enemies easily.
I aim at working on this aspect of my life properly this year,
I've made up my mind to respond to any difficulties newbies have about steemit (as far as I can handle it).
I only hope the love in the community will help me do away with pride..
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.
Hmm the fact that you recognize this of yourself, is already a step to change.
Good luck brother.
I agree with @futurethinker! Since you recognize your weakness, it will be easier for you to work on it. We all have our level of pride (and we should!), but ego can be a bad thing. Brazilian Jiujitsu is my way of fighting my ego (you learn to lose and to be OK with it very quickly). Maybe you should try =)
Thanks for the advice @evecab believe me I'm ready to try anything!!!

For sure you can brother. Pride can be dangerous at times but with the love and support from the people around you, this thing can be worked on.

I believe that my greatest weakness is not to be very communicative, I close myself in my own bubble, that's why I don't have friends, this 2018 my goal is to get out of this bubble, know, make friends, laugh, new things, I don't know if it will be fear or something else, but I'm sure that if I've been able to overcome diseases, I can overcome this weakness and then turn it into a strength.
It is always nice to try new stuff. The things that we are not really comfortable in doing so. I myself is not that "friendly" outside cyberspace as they have said because same as you I have my own bubble.
The goal of making new friends and have someone to laugh to that is really attainable and you already did the first step on doing it! Great job a small step towards your goal is really something that we can celebrate! Regards you have my "vote" goodluck on this contest 💪🤝
@arcabuzx hey man! Oh that is why you have been away for long! I will be contacting you more from now! You got to overcome this!
Thansk dude..
Hey @arcabuzx, there's nothing wrong with being an introvert. And as you say, you already overcame disease, so you can do anything! You have people on this platform to support you =)
Hello @futurethinker had a few days without going through your blog, but here I am and I would like to join this challenge...
I have 4 months and 16 days exactly in Steemit, I have not yet learned to use this platform well and I struggle constantly to keep learning, but I also struggle with my lack of attention because many times has affected me in my performance in this Platform, And of course in my personal life, I have proposed this year to treat it because every day that happens is getting worse, I realized that the problem was serious when while driving I sank into my thoughts and literally I lost the focus of the roadAnd I was going to give directly with a truck, I could react by the cry of my copilot...
My family has realized this problem, because more than I try to pay attention rarely in fact I do, I have taken refuge in reading and Steemit has helped me a lot because here you do not grow if you are not really interested in the content of other users.
I try not to drive until I'm really sure I can control the situation so there's nothing to worry about lol
oh wow, @gvand, that sounds very serious indeed! I don't know how to give you advice on this one, other than maybe elimite every other distraction when you focus on one task? Let us know how it goes and good luck =)
I do my best to concentrate, it is always good to hear advice... really I appreciate it @evecab
Dangerous indeed, glad nothing serious happened!
Yes, I do my best not to distract myself while I do something that could hurt me.
Thank you very much @futurethinker and @evecab for this opportunity.
One of my personal weaknesses is Commitment.
I started a project in a rural community during my national service year at Delta tagged "Back to School" project, but it wasn't materialized because I wasn't 100% committed to it.
I have lofty dreams and ideas but most times I lack the needed commitment to actualize them. There are researches I'm yet to complete, there are business ideas swingling in my head awaiting manifestation, there are books I'm yet to finish.
However, this year, I've determined to tackle this challenge by setting deadlines for my goals, as well as writing them down clearly to foster the implementation of my personal projects.
Hi @joshuaetim, thanks for your entry! I'm glad to see that you have already put up measures to fight this particular weakness of yours! I hope it works, keep us updated =)
okay ma, thank you
Thank you for sharing @joshuaetim, I hope you will be able to finish a project this year :)
Yes, I will, by God's special grace. Thank you
One weakness i would love to overcome this year is not taking conscious and deliberate steps and efforts. Sometimes i feel i am too relaxed when it comes to taking some decisions. It has nothing to do with faith and it has nothing to do with fear. I just feel too relaxed and when someone brings up about the urgency of it then reality sets in. I am supposed to have done two things last year which i was too relaxed about to take the steps towards it. I don't know maybe because i thrive best under pressure or just simply nature. It's not laziness either and from typing this i am still trying to wrap my head around it. So, this year, what needs to be done must be done. I will channel all energy to make it happen then i can challenge myself with another step. I live for impacts and touching lives.
Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how this has refreshed and strengthened me. God bless your amazing and selfless heart.
Vote
Thank you so much dear.
it's great that you recognize it, that's the first step in fighting it . I'm sure 2018 will be the year you doon't let important decisions fly by =)
Yes, i am more pumped than ever. This just renewed my mind and i am so excited about the show of support and the kind words. 2018 it is. Will share them soon. Thank you so much. Really appreciate this.
"I just feel too relaxed and when someone brings up about the urgency of it then reality sets in."
Believe it or not I understand exactly how you feel. Several years ago I was also like you (and it is still a bit in me). When I know something is important, I sometimes don't see how important it is. Until it happens...
You can do it man. Focus on something that you really want and like, and it will become more important to you (this has helped me a lot).
Thank you so much for this. It delights me to know you can totally relate to this. I will take this advice and focus on the things i like and want and act immediately towards it. More determined now than ever. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.
Hi - nice competition...
My biggest weakness is without doubt procrastination. Please take time to appreciate the irony that I should have been writing something that's long overdue this afternoon, but instead I've been idling about on Steemit for most of the afternoon.
Have I always procrastinated? Now that's a good question... On reflection I probably spent a lot more time 'procrastinating' when I was a child (playing with mechano in the bath to put off doing chores etc.) so I guess I procrastinate less now.
I also think the more unpleasant tasks you have to do, the more you procrastinate, given that if you wanted to do everything, you wouldn't put off doing that particular thing.
Hence I've got two strategies to overcome my procrastination....
(1) Being online is definitely a barrier to getting things done, so when I really need to... go offline.
(2) Given that procrastination is a function of having to do unpleasant things, I'm going to quit my job later this year.... that way I'll have more time on my hands and messing around on the internet will become 'fun' rather than 'procrastination'!
Hey @revisesociology. I haven't seen you before! Thank you for joining us!
I agree with your two strategies. Being online and having your phone next to you when you work, really distracts. I remember when I had no internet for a week and that was one of my most productive week. 😓
Hey thanks, happy to be here, I like a competition!
And I bet that week started off as mental torture, but ended up being a joy!
Thanks for your entry, @revisesociology! I really like the "quitting your job" part =)
Hey thanks, this is a very interesting new competition format btw, with someone else commenting, it's sort of like being the filling in a curation sandwich.
Cheers!
I happened to be a man gifted with mathematical talent, I managed to excel in my studies and graduated with honors in college. After all of my achievements (yeah I'm a student achiever, you can check a story of my life featured by an international magazine here: GineersNow: Fisherman's Son.) almost anybody would think of me to be strong in almost all aspects - little do they know that I have one weakness which I've been trying to overcome until now. That is no other than my low self esteem and self-confidence. This hinders me from displaying the very best of my talent - I feel shy everytime I get a chance to do so.
I'm a practicing mechanical engineer now, and I handle a group of skilled technicians as their supervisor. It's hard to handle them with this kind of attitude. Even if I am in authority, I tend to forget my status and just treat them as though they are at my level - I mean I just can't dare impose my will on them. As a result I tend to lose my efficiency as a leader, and this is bad.
This is a matter of serious concern. I have to start believing in myself, and handle people effectively by disregarding my young age as a leader (I'm 24) and the age of people I am supervising, which are way, way older. I have to totally change my mindset, read books on building self confidence and how to efficiently lead people. I'll work hard on it and I will never stop.
Thank you @futurethinker for these kinds of challenges, I get reminded of the things I have to do, and it made me feel the urgency to solve it now. That's why I am so grateful I came to know Steemit - such a powerful blogging platform. I regret so much that while I secured this account 6 months ago, I only started being active and had my first post last December29. More power, @futurethinker and @evecab, keep empowering people in this platform!
If it might help you, there are many different leaders, and the whole that treat their team on the same level have been very succesful onces. Leading and commanding are two different things. I think you will be an excellent leader with this quality of yours. You might need to find your style of leadership.
Thank you for sharing @caratsky :)
Your are exactly on point, @futurethinker. We do have our own styles of leadership. These words from you has lifted some burdens off me. Thank you for saying I'm still on track and I'll just to improve some details of my leadership approaches. God bless you, man. More steemit blessings to you. :)
I really liked your post, @caratzky! I second what @futurethinker says here. I'm in the same position as you, and my team members are also my friends. Sometimes I can be just a friend and colleague, and other times I have to make not so pleasant decisions, but I do want to be seen as their equal, not their boss =). You can lead by example and by being wise and fair, and people will automatically recognize you as their leader.
My greates personal weekness and challenge is Fear, Fear of faliure. Most time i find it difficult to engage is any contest or competition beacause of fear of not becoming the winner, i remebered how bad i felt for a competition i lost some years back, it took me time to put my self together. During the previous year, i had learnt that fear is just a "False Experience Appering Real". So i decided in the New Year to overcome anything called fear. I'll participate in as much challenge, compettions and events as possible, even if i dont emerge as the winner, a lesson would be learnt which would make me stronger and better next time
Vote
I think it will get easier each time we fail too. It makes the next one less impactful. We become stronger by failing and getting up, not by winning.
Thank you for sharing this @egetex :)
Thanks @ futherthinker

This year, will confirm that you are a winner

Once again another great idea for a competition. One of my very persisting weakness has always been depression. I dont know how it all started but the major reason for it has always been my rocky relationship with my dad. (I wont go too much in the details as its too personal though). There were days i wake up in the morning feeling really down and sad and even standing up from bed was such a chore for me. There were also days where commiting suicide crosses my mind.
As i grow older, ive come to look for ways to battle my struggle with depression. And i found out that what really helps me a lot in dealing with it is by meditating. Actually there's a study about it that meditation helps a lot with depression. Even though there are still days where i wake up feeling down and depressed, i am now better equipped to deal with it thanks to meditation.
So to all my friends and people here that are struggling with depression, i suggest practicing meditation, its truly helpful and can really do wonders to one's mental health.
Hey man I know that feeling and it takes real guts to acknowledge it. I did meditation and yoga to help alleviate it. Taking to someone without any judgement helps and my best one is writing to exorcist the demons in my head.
You are not alone and steemit has become a refuge for me with all the wonderful people here.
You got my vote!
Wow those are some pretty helpful tips! I never knew writing can help with depression! Thanks for opening my eyes on that one! 😀
OMG!!! Pls stay strong my friend and I'm just everything will be alright. Pls never contemplate on suicide, you are very good person and God will surely come through for you... 🙏 🙏 🙏
My vote is all yours and I hope you win this contest.
Appreciate the support brother! And thanks for the vote!

I'm sorry to hear that @andywong31, but I'm glad that you have found something that helps you! I've never learned how to meditate but I'm sure it's a great way of clearing your thoughts and feelings. If you ever have these thoughts again, you should write about it. I'm sure many other people can relate and it could also help you and others in the process. You have our support!!
Thank you soooo much eve! I just know now that writing can help with depression! Oh and by the way, if you wanna give meditation a try, i suggest using the Headspace app. Cheers! 😀

Thank you sooo much for the support Jeline! Do know that whatever challenges you face in your life, that we are also here for you okay. We're a family here! 😀
That's the spirit man👏👏👏
It is easy for me to answer this. I am a very shy person, and I have always been, except in my early childhood. I was more timid than I am now, but my goal this year is to reduce it to a minimum, because I want to be a international speaker and a known coach, and I can´t be eather if I still being a shy person. I am on my way, recording Dtube videos and singing in openmic haha.
Another resolution I made (in my mind cause I did not write it down)is to be able to live from steemit and the blockchain; although I want to be the best psychologist and coach, my goal is that my main income comes from the crypto world.
I know my english is not the best, I hope I made myself clear enough so you could understand in spite of my poor english skills.
I would like to thank to my friend @futurethinker for all that he does for the steemit comunity, specially for the new users. I wish you succes in everthing you do.

About My greatest weakness...am kind of shy sharing it here, it's something I've struggled with for so long and it's my high temper
I easily get angry and when that happens, I tend to do destructive things.
I talk to the person involved anyhow at that moment not minding the age...
I take drastic discussions that i later regret after the temper is off. And because of my temper, most times i find it difficult to forgive especially when it really hurts.
I grew up with the temper issues and am working consciously on it.

This would probably sound cliché, but I am a world-class procrastinator...
My favorite mantra is... I'll just leave that for future Fejiro or It's not as if the world is going to end if I do not do this right now.
It started when I was in school and has only gotten worse overtime. I now wait until I absolutely have to do something before doing them. At that minute, I always hate myself for not doing that task earlier.
But this year, I have decided... No more.
Noticing some changes and I am happy about it, for example, when I saw this post, I was like... I can always write my comment in the morning, but then, I saw the topic and I remembered my resolution.
So here goes....
ahahahah perfect, @fejiro, I'm glad that this contest already helped you with your weakness! Thanks for participating
😄😄
Yes! That's a step forward. Keep it up @fejiro 🔥🔥!
Thanks 😊

A personal weakness which has been challenging so far and one which I would like to overcome is "crowdspeaking".
Crowdspeaking has been challenging for me so far. Anytime I attempt this, I get a cold feet and my hands start to shake and some of my audience can attest to that.
Recently, I've been indulging in so many activities that can help me overcome this weakness. Activities like prep talk, lending good advice, online feedback sessions and excess social bonding to help build not just my self esteem but my way of communication and this year I'm working towards overcoming this weakness.
Public speaking is skill that can be mastered. Good to hear you are working on this bro!

Thanks for the opportunity @futurethinker
While am good at defining whats good for me, sticking to my decision is the hard part and more often than not people have made the most important decisions in my life for me.
This year am taking charge, full control. Am making plans, setting goals and above all, living by them. For example, I have decided never to step my feet in any institution of learning again as I can obtain knowledge from so many other sources, but theres pressure from friends and family to pursue a masters degree am not interested in. This year my will stands!
Thumbs up to you owning your decisions in life =). Thanks for your entry!
Thank you
In my case, I think we need to pose daily challenges. Renew our understanding, adopting new knowledge, surpassing old fears and not conforming ourselves to a self-imposed limit. As the Bible says "And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)
So, one of my current goals is to resume my musical instrument practices. When I was a teenager, I studied music theory and learned to play classical guitar and organ. But the fear paralyzed me and I only dared to play in the privacy of my home. One of the things that has caught my attention in this social network are the music competitions, in which I participated singing, but I lost the skills to play the instruments and I depend on the help of other musicians. Well, one of my goals is to sing and play for myself, without relying on other people's talents. Another of my goals is to improve my performance in the English language, especially in writing. You must have noticed I need it.

Shout out to @futurethinker and @evecab for this great way of having people improve on themselves by lettinggo of their insecurities.
For me,its always been the problem of consistency ,i would always have great ,heated enthusiasm for something but along the line ,my consistency level drops until i completely forget about it.
I hope to improve on that this year,and i am sure i will,because i started the year with something i have never had and that is steemit and so far so good,am improving.

Thanks @futurethinker for letting me bare my mind on this cos I believe it's going to help.
Well, right from childhood, my Biggest fear and challenge is FEAR itself. Fear or FEAR, Fear of TRYING NEW THINGS,Fear of FAILURE..
Fear of Trying new things has limited me in my career,Basketball cos I always find it difficult to try new dribbles. It also affected me when I wanted to sign up this my Steemit account three weeks ago cos I was like 'What if I made a good post and no one upvotes or say good things about it? " but I managed to overcome it and luckily, my first post made $3 and good comments which stirred me up. Im working on how to get rid of it but I must say,the few weeks on Steemit has boasted my self-esteem. I hope to have it gotten rid of by the end of my two months stay here cos even the word "Impossible" means "I'm possible".
Adidas will always say "impossible is nothing " while Nike complements it with "Just Do it "
Haha I liked your reference to the brands :). Don't worry so much man! In the beginning I had a few $0 payout posts too. That was quite discouraging, but it is part of it.
Are you already in our community?

We will look at your posts there :)
My brother @futurethinker, I always commend you, even now I do!
You see, I had a Roman Catholic childhood, where my family brought me up and nurtured me to become a Catholic priest, I attended Catholic high schools and primary schools(boys schools), including Holy Family College, served as Mass Server / Altar boy for quite some years
just so I could be groomed to be called Rev Father.
But somehow along the line I could not gain admission into the senior Seminary to be moulded into the priesthood of the Roman order, but this wasn't my problem.
I felt the need to reinstate myself in the society, I felt really odd, I couldn't propose to a girl or ask her out. I once paid a friend to help me woo a girl!
I started getting close to girls but then wasn't still free and comfortable around them, but right from last year, I made decisions and conscious efforts to get over this, and guess what?
The resolutions are really resolute and have seen myself improving in this regards this year (i know you wanna meet my girlfriend.... Hahaha).
I have gone beyond the challenge and this is self improvement for me.
Thank you,
I am @AmbDavid
Good to hear man!

That's great, @ambdavid! I'm glad it worked =)
Just for steemit's sake ^^:
I've always tried to live outside of what for other people is "normal" life. I had a lot of experiences, met incredible people, been in awesome and also really crazy places. There was a time when only "writing" was breathing life in to me and gave me a taste of beeing someone or something. For a witness my life may looked like I really messed up, but I always knew my time will come - even in my late 30's. For a long time I've been interested in technology and its application into life. Always practically focused on a problem and trying to solve it. This is how I came into contact with blockchain and crypto.
So here is my quest as I'm trying to build a more solid life, beeing active in this field. I've founded a crypto-fonds which is terminated to five years. I also do arbitrage and have for now a steady income.
I dont think I would be doing this if my life had been "normal". So this weakness, staying unbonded and somehow indecisive brought me here.
I feel like an ambassador for what future will bring to us. So middle- to longterm I want to be integrated again in a "social matrix" and just be the cryptodude next door. ^^
My greatest weakness is not being deliberate about my dreams. Over time, i've been a man of so many words and little action. Laziness, procrastination, and other distractions have really made me mess up amazing opportunities i had to improve my life.
I plan and set goals lot, but end up doing nothing towards achieving them. I don't take conscious efforts towards achieving my goals, and this has been my greatest weakness since teenage-hood. I've always wanted the easy life with no stress, wanting to get rich without working hard for it. I learnt to discard such mentality the hard way, by losing so much money in ponzi schemes and betting sites.
This year, i strive to push myself as far as i can and make up for the errors i made previous years. I'll make sure i do as much as i can to overcome distractions by jumping on every life developing opportunity i come across.
Thank you @futurethinker for this platform. You're gold, and i admire what you do.
Those get rick schemes are the one's that victimized us too. Sad to say I did experience that before around the middle of the year. If you are familiar with Ethrade.com that is the site it shut down leaving it's investors crying.
That is my wake up call! Although there are some who got lucky on it real success means that you (that includes me as well) should work hard for it just like here on steemit.com we need to develop a good sense and be consistent if we want to hit bigtime and reach our goals in the end.
Let's strive together towards a better 2018! All the best and you have my "vote"
Thank you bro. It's good we have a new mindset now. Nothing comes easy. We all gat to work hard and build a brand to be successful. It's never too late.
T
I agree with you. Success doesn't come easy unless you get some inheritance, but that is not really success.
We can't do anything about our mistakes, but just move on and make sure they never happen again.
Thank you for sharing this. Respect for being honest to yourself.
Nothing in life comes easy, and even the biggest millionaires worked hard to get where they are. I'm glad to see that you've recognized this and are working on making a change. Good luck with everything and thanks a lot for this entry!
Overcoming stage fright has always been one of my greatest weakness as i can't stand crowd and most times i find it very difficult to talk or relate well with my colleagues. And even to ask or answer question in class is a very big challenge even when i know the answer to the question, i get frightened once my name is mentioned. But the good news is that, to add to my achievements this year, i already started working on it as it did not just start but it's always there, with effect to that, i was able to face the crowd and the supervisors during my industrial training defense although i was damn scared at first and that was a good start to eradicating stage fright this year. But it's a different ball game when it comes to writing, that is why i love it here because i can easily communicate with people fluently.All thanks to @futurethinker for this opportunity
Thank you for sharing @gnomicrules :)
I hope you will overcome your stage fright this year!
Yes, because i am really putting in so much effort to eradicating it. Thank you very much for this contest
Thank you @futurethinker and @evecab for this opportunity.
When it comes to procrastination, I think I deserve an award on it. Leaving things undone, and rushing over it at the dime minute. Gosh! I'm a master at it.
It has become a virus in my system, growing with me daily. I hate it! For instance, I have 3 things left undone, and today is the deadline, but I've not done it.
The funny thing is, I love the rushing part, cos I'm always at my best to get it perfect, but then, I'll be hoping for more time.
Improving myself in this area of my life, will be my greatest joy. I don't know how to start, I think self-discipline can help. I don't want to be like this, I want to overcome this weakness, and be better. I have so many goals to achieve, I hope I don't miss them cos of procrastination!

Hey @jeline, I know some very successful procrastinators =). Like you say, sometimes that rush is what you need to wake up your efficiency, so for some people it really works. I can't relate to that, because I'm totally the opposite ahahah I usually finish assignments long before the deadline because deadlines stress me LOL
My biggest weakness is wooing a lady. Since my last break up, whenever I see any lady I like on the road, approaching her has become a very big problem for me then I start imagining what if she slaps or embarrasses me or even worse.
I have been struggling with it for the past few months and it has now becoming a thing to worry about as my family have been asking if I won't bring home the person I'm dating, especially my mum, she seems very disturbed about it.
I made a promise to myself that before the end of this January 2018 I will take the bold step and ask a lady out. I hope and pray that it goes my way.
😕 vote
oh @jajdgenius, don't be afraid of us, we're not that scary. If you don't disrespect the ladies, then they will not slap you or embarrass you, I can guarantee that! Just treat them like you would want to be treated and you will be fine!
I'll definitely put your advice into consideration and thanks... 👍👍👍
Don't give up man, even if they reject you, there will be one out there that will be the right one for you.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, I really appreciate.
Last year I made some impressive steps towards a life long dream. I went back to school. This year I get to sit for the certificate that took me back to school and I can't help worrying about failing.
I have a perfectionist mentality so when I fail in something it consumes my energy to a point of depression. As huge as going back to school is, it comes with a possibility of failure which my soul won't take lightly. Though I am training my mind to accept my failures, I believe doing better in my exams can also top up my confidence.
I also need to work harder here on Steemit and advance in life and in this community. Still can't believe what this platform can help me achieve in half the earlier proposed time. For my country. Africa. And the world at large.
May we all conquer 💚
You can do it @tezmel :)
Thank you for coming by!
I am used to jumping into new ideas and forsaking old ones. It has been a major issue for me. So î thought of having a team and that's has been a major challenge. I am bent on becoming a better team player and revisiting all my abandoned project and leaving them in the hands of competent team members.
So far I have been doing well and stress has started easing off
I wish you good luck @spiritwalker :)
congrats @spiritwalker for succeeding in overcoming this weakness of yours!
Thanks dear.... I am still in the process of overcoming completely.
A personal weakness that I wish to overcome this year is impatience. I suppose I've always been somewhat impatience but, now, better understand how little is in my hands as well as the value of doing my work and stepping back.
On a more spiritual level, I think of an aphorism by Kafka on this subject, (from his Octavo Notebooks):
"There are two cardinal sins from which all the others derive: impatience and laziness. It was because of impatience that they were expelled from Paradise; it is because of laziness that they do not return. Yet perhaps there is only one major sin: impatience. Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return."
I'm beginning to view impatience as a sort of sin, too, akin to stealing fruit from one's own Paradise before it has ripened and, in turn, cheating oneself of a fuller sweetness that they might have experienced, later.
Here's another wise echo, from Lao tzu — 'Do you have the patience to wait/ Till your mud settles and the water is clear?/ Can you remain unmoving/ Till the right action arises by itself?'
I wish for 2018, and beyond, to exercise greater restraint as well as Trust in life and its bounty — awaiting those who wait :)
I hope you can overcome this. Thank you for participating!
Thanks, for the chance to share & good you do for the community, @futurethinker. 🙏🏼
Oh I'm very familiar with impatience =). I can relate to this very much. I constantly have to remind myself to relax and let things come in due time without pushing or pressuring. Good luck with fighting yours and thanks for participating!
Thanks, for your understanding, @evecab. The upside is that one wants to do more, keep moving - the low side is one does not appreciate what they have and exists in a state of generalized anxiety.. Deep breathing helps and, as you say, reminding myself to relax and let go. Happy MLK Day :)
yeah exactly! You live in the "next" as opposed to the "now" =)
One of my weaknesses is swim and water , even though I have been swimming once in my life at sea and this was the worst day of my life. ; And since then, I have suffered the awe of the sea and the awe of the water. The reason is that my skin wafts from sea salt and sunlight.I have struggled so hard to get rid of this fear and I still hope to get rid of it and this may be my goal for 2018.
Ah I hope you overcome this! Swimming can be very deliberating!
Thanks for all your support of new users. My weakness that I have decided to overcome this year is all about getting better at receiving. I have been a great achiever and giver all my life, but in some ways have limited myself by not being as good at accepting help or even just opening my arms and receiving the blessings of life gratefully and graciously. This is the year to receive! xx
personal weakness? let me think first,...what is my very best weakness?...yes, my weakness is no confidence and being soft. I see myself not confident at my works I think my grammar is s..not good. I don't like blogging I swear, lots of friends invites me to join at steemit a year ago but I said to them it is not my forte. Until one of my friend annoyed me to join, then atlast I'm here almost a month from Dec 15. I'm not confident yet but I loved reading, maybe it can help me to boost my confidence.
Soft because I'm too soft for others sadness, sorrow and pain that leads to cheat me. Now I promise, I will become hard...just kidding aside...still I soft but alert now. Thank you for sharing this post, I express my feelings...more power to you @futurethinker.
Thank you for sharing this @sweetcha. There is alot more to do here to blogging!

Come by for a talk! I always like to talk about what steemit has to offer.
Go Beyond Challenge: self improvement
Personal Challenge:
I have been struggling with how best to manage my time for a while now. I noticed this became a thing since I delved into technology as a web developer. There's a lot to learn as a developer and I end up studying even when it's time to carry out other activities, it may sound like a good thing especially in today's society where being able to focus is a problem to many. Unfortunately this is not the case because it is taking my attention away from other aspects of life, which include my loved ones and social activities.
I'm trying to handle this problem by defining the periods for study and even being online so I can set aside time for other activities. I haven't been able to do this effectively yet but I'm not giving up either. I'm also open to Suggestions as well please. Thank you.
I'm not the best time manager myself, so I can't give you advice on this haha.
I think I understand. 😀
Hey @handsome9ice! I get distracted too, and what works for me is making to do lists every day. I cross out everything I have to do and only after I'm done, I allow myself to "waste" time on the web. When it comes to family time, my big rule is during meals, no electronic devices can be present, which allows us to focus on the person in front of us without distractions.
@evecab, yea I totally agree with you that this should work, but it takes a whole amount of self-control and the ability to be time conscious for it to work. I tried making to do lists for myself but after a while it felt too regimented and like I was bound. So I had to let go off it because I felt limited like I wasn't giving myself enough room to explore and learn new things (I'm actually a sucker for learning new things), that's the major reason I had to drop that approach.
Some of the problems am trying to address in my life include timidity, procrastination and indecision.
This has affected me so well, as people draw my attention to it. I prefer deferring responsibility as a result of my timidity after which I mourn loss of benefits that follows.
Procrastination and indecision, I think is even in my DNA, "I will decide to write a nice article to post on steemit, 2 days later, 3 days later, nothing at all"
I am addressing it, slow and steady I'll win the race this year
It starts out with small steps :)
Good luck with everything @pope1995, and thanks a lot for your entry!!!
The problem i have is that i am too emotional and this is my greatest weakness especially in relationships. Over the years i have always fought my self and have tried to control my emotions, but each time I try to do this, I end up hurting myself and this goes along way to break down and makes me lose concentration on other produtive things about my life. Sometimes i just think i was created that way and no matter how hard I fight myself, I can't come out strong
Hey @classsic717 thank you for your entry! Emotions usually get the best of us, but it's good that you are realizing it. To keep mine in check, I ask myself "if this situation happened to someone else, would I react the same or would I think that person is overreacting?" Maybe it can work for you too.
Atelophobia - The fear of imperfection has been a subtle psychological burden to me lately, plus I often feel content shying away from realities simple because fantasy is my hobby last year. These days I write, think and do some fictions just to preoccupy my mind - many thanks to Steemit.
Thanks for sponsoring this contest. For me I think my main weakness which I still struggle for myself is about self doubt.
I always have this huge doubt about my skills and how I am doing. Literally if someone will be asking me to stand infront, I stutter and see the audience as someone who will eat me alive if I commit a mistake.
I always doubt on the things that I can do and stopped me from trying what I really want. I do stopped in the idea that it is already "okay" and some person will just do it better but not for me.
So here's my solution then and I am still working it on.
When you feel that you are doubtful of your skills always remember people in the genius class are not born (although they have some genes and science thingy advantage) but they are made! You can always be one.
There is no harm in trying but there is a disappointment in quitting. Instead of having a never ending thought of "What if's" just do it! Do the things that will make you feel good. If you believe that you can do it, even if it is a small step or achievement still it is an achievement.
NEVER compare yourself into others. You are you and they are.... Hmm yeah just believe in yourself! First love the craft/ what you are doing and people will see it gradually.
Thanks again for this opportunity 😇
.
Thank you very much for your entry @tpkidkai! I realy like your solutions. Don't ever compare yourself to others, we are all different. Always remember, other people have their insecurities too, no matter how smart or good they are (even geniuses!)
Exactly! The only person that can beat you is yourself. Though there is no point in competing yourself :)
Thanks for reading my comment I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Oh my! I am already melting!!!

Steemit movement is very fast. But I am very hard to keep up. My weakness is when I can not and do not want to move quickly along with the millions of information that is in Steemit.
I always catch up with the continuous monitoring of various groups in whatsapp or discord. I spent hours reading various kinds of writings in Steemit.
The development of Steemit in my place is growing with time. Unlike the first time I joined in Steemit last September. I can relax by posting one article a day.
But now I still do. My only weakness is I am too weak to receive millions of information in a day. I sometimes want to relax for a moment by going to the beach or to the waterfall.
but I motivate myself to keep my spirit in living the days at Steemit. And stay relaxed. Yeeay
Steemit can be quite overwhelming indeed =) Thank you very much for pparticipating @akbarrafs
Yes, it going so fast. We need a news site for steemit :D

I'll try to schedule my activities and be strict with such schedule.
I'll cut down on unnecessary time killing activities too.

my weakness is not dare to appear in public,
in this year my weakness I will try to change into a wish, because without so we will never be a brave, because so brave it is the choice we want to break through the challenge or not. if we do not want to mean we are human beings who are always willing to live in a fear.
Oh wow. You don't go outside at all?
yes I hang out like other people, but I do not dare if I made a person who spoke in public (lecture)
@futurethinker
when it comes to weaknesses, one of my weakness is time unconsciousness.
I just imagine everything to be done late, even when i know its going to be done very early. Struggling with keeping to time has really been the challenge i have, but now i keep to time especially when there's a event , i make sure i get there before time .
it has really developed me in making me become a time keeper!
Time mangement is important :)
thanks for your entry @folly-pandy and good luck with overcoming this time management issue!
my biggest fear is letting people see me for who I am. I don't really think I can be bold to save a life!!!(prefer the comfort of my shell)
I really want that to change this year
You can definitely do that! You already started on doing it! By telling the people that you want to change it is the start of your journey. I do hope that you continue on doing it. Don't worry about what will people say at the end of the day it is you who will be reaping the rewards. We just need a little push and support at times but no worries people from steemit can give you those moral boost. We are a big family in here bro.
You have my "vote"
Thank you!!!
am still working on it tho
This afternoon the weather still feels cold, I feel reluctant to get out of bed if the word children now term it Lazy Motion. And today I do not have a very important agenda, at home I just see and read news from online media both local and national. Hours are showing at 10:15 pm, my wife says my father no fish sales people who come in today, I replied to the market just buy it. Immediately I took a shower and soon went to the market, but because today is the day of the week (folk market / traditional market). Soon we were there for the fish we were looking for, and we bought some spices to cook the fish.
Upon arriving at my house I picked up my bag and asked my wife for permission to leave the house, her agenda was just enjoying this monday and completing some small work I could finish on the sidelines of coffee, at 12:15 pm I was in Lhokseumawe , and directly to my favorite coffee shop. Every day I always enjoy coffee at the stall, and after I enter the shop I see there are some friends I know and soon I go to their table to greet them one (part of friendship). I sat for a while at their table as a tribute to them and soon I asked permission to move the table, to my own table because there were things I had to finish. And I directly look for a table that I consider very comfortable I sit and can enjoy coffee while opening the news and read the media porch of Indonesia.
Since the waiter had not asked me what my order was, I continued to read the pages of the newspaper. Shortly afterwards the coffee shop waiter asked me what my choice of coffee was this afternoon, Sanger Arabica replied me, the waiter rushed to the barista to make coffee, and soon the waiter returned to me with sanger coffee already served in ahead of me. Sruuuup I sip the sanger coffee with delicious, bitter taste added with a little sweet makes it more delicious on the tongue. Since my cigarette was gone I asked for a pack of cigarettes as my coffee companion, and soon the cashier brought me the cigarettes I ordered.
When I waited for my cigarettes to arrive, I opened my steemit account through my mobile phone, and when I gave money for the cigarettes I ordered, the cashier at the stall asked me ... is there a steemit? Yes I answered, it's almost 3 months more I play steemit. I want to ask about steemit can pack? Can answer me. Then I explain to him about what is steemit and how the steemit is in use, and what are the restrictions on steemit, and my message do not forget to save password. I tried to ask him, where do you know steemit? he replied .. I often see brothers open steemit and yesterday there are friends who told me about steemit, and he also has no account steemit, and I dare to ask brother .. laugh he replied. My message to him to play in steemit do not forget to build good communication and also join the community that already exist as a medium of learning together.
And the cashier immediately opened his mobile phone and began to open abrowser untk see steemit website, and he returned to his cashier mejad. And I told him, if there is anything unclear about my steemit tell me to go to http://mainsteem.com. Because there are available tutorials that have been written by steemian in Indonesia.
