The Giving Project
In the spirit of Joy and love sharing, am putting up this Comment Contest tagged SHARE YOUR LESSONS as a part of my giveback events to mark my 2018th birthday. It’s all about giving – giving to you and sharing my love with you in this great steem community. Am hoping that this will culminate to something bigger in the future for my real-time environment and community.
This contest is my way of sharing the joy of my birth month with you. I am grateful to God for grace, mercy, provisions, life, guidance, security, peace, joy, hope, comfort and immeasurable love through Christ Jesus. I will be giving out 2SBDs weekly starting from 5thJune, 2018. The frequency may be increased depending on the response. It's no more a June contest, it's extending to infinity.
Contest Description
This contest is geared at encouraging a reading, note-taking and knowledge sharing spirit among steemians. This was conceived to help steemit users engage themselves in constructive and useful discussion about the life lessons they gather each day from reading books, watching movies, listening to music, observing their environment and reacting to people in their daily operations.
On each day of the week where the contest is hosted, a theme or topic is given. All comments which are supposed to be lessons drawn from the daily experiences are to be shared based on lessons learnt from any of the sources above-stated sources, and this should be in line with the theme prompt.
Be bold, tell us about your experiences each day during your devotion, in the office, at school, home, along the road. Share the lessons you learnt , even with the people you met. You have something to offer. We can all learn from your experiences.
Am working hard to raise 1,000 SBD for my first reachout project in my locality. It will be centered on the pains of others and sharing my joy and love with them. I am dedicated to make my world a better place because I was created perfect with the image of love.
The prices of this contest will be reviewed periodically and it will be improved as well.

My goal is making steemit more beautiful. I am fully aware that my posts are a definition of me
This post is a simple reflection me on how I can contribute to make steemit a better place to be.
Be sure YOU ARE INVOLVED IN STEEMIT'S FUTURE: Your Posts Is Your Identity for the Future. It will tell posterity how much of value you were. Don't forget that We Can Make the World Better together.
I AM BORN OF GOD hence, I'll keep telling the world what God has done and will keep doing
I AM CREATIVE, that is why I can't get lost in the crowd.
I AM A ULOGGER, this gives me the premise and push to tell ou boldly about myself because I know you will be encouraged.
REMEMBER! A THOUSAND (1000) INTENTIONS ARE NOT AS POWERFUL AS ONE (1) ACTION, DO SOMETHING TODAY
I remain you brother and Success Coach - @uyobong
I wasn't in for this, but something came up my mind, a life experience it may not get me to winning but it is quite Interesting.
I believe that a priority shouldn't be Chosen with carelessness, time and carefulness should be employed at all dealings.
While I was still in secondary school there were so many things I prioritized wrongly and am about sharing one with us, many of this are part of my life regrets.
Though my books and education were at the very top, but God wasn't in my list of priorities and hence something happened, though I passed out well with good results there examinations were so full of temptations and trials, because God wasn't a priority a lot of bad things happened until I realized I was missing something, though it wasn't too late I reconciled with His and made him a priority since then peace of mind came, but I always regret not choosing my priorities correctly in the first place.
In coming episodes I will post things linger and better than this, thanks @uyobong I like what you are doing keep up it's going to flourish, amen.
After carefully going through the comments sent by the participants, @crystannson emerged winner.
In life, we need to choose priorities carefully putting God first.
Thank you for a great work @Druids.
Congratulations to @crystannson!
I would like to start off with a quote from the famous Stephen Covey:
In his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" he writes about, you guessed it, what good habits we can adopt from effective people. One of the habits is:
While I'm sure we all know this, often times we fail to implement it due to the fast paced world we live in today. Also, don't forget to set both short and long term priorities.
Anyway, that's my entry for the contest. Hope you like it !
Great lesson. Congratulations for being the first entry.
Thanks, I'm always looking to engage with the community in any way I can, it's hard getting a reply even these days.
