When we started this challenge, I was just going with the flow from the outset. I knew something would change, it had to because that's one thing I always look forward to for any collaboration we have here on #dreemport.
Personally, I have gone through a lot of life-changing experiences and though I try to act tough I still find out that most times it weighs me down.
I think about my life, my finances, and things I need to do to help me become better and improve but most times, I find out these things will only play out nicely in my head like I got it all figured out but then when it comes to actually applying them in the real world, I keep holding myself back. What's the problem? Is it fear? Fear of what? Being Judged? Not good enough? Many of these thoughts stay rent-free in my head.
Then came the post about choosing a topic for this challenge and my head went blank. What do I choose? The deadline was fast approaching and I couldn't think of anything. Then I was lying down meditating just like @alessandrawhite taught us in our #cwh sessions and I thought of my journey here on the hive, how I started, and how it is going now and I noticed something seems to be holding me back.
Sometimes I would go for days without coming online or replying to my messages here and I thought of how I was gradually losing focus. But then I look at some of the things I am going through and see how I am still trying to find my way back despite everything, right there the topic was born Resilience
Then after making my first post I knew I was getting somewhere and I kept attending the #cwh sessions and something happened one day. I was lying down on my bed, my eyes darting toward the clock, it's just a few minutes to another session on #cwh but then ;
A voice whispered in my head: Why do you have to attend every day? You could do just two times a week and still qualify for the challenge, why bother going everyday? I thought about it and almost gave in to the voice but then another voice rose inside my head. It was a little bit silent but I felt it speaking. "What was that?" I asked myself as I try pushing back the voice that came on earlier so I could listen to this new voice.
"Remember all the good this session has been doing for you", the voice told me, speaking very audibly now.
Then I thought of it myself and realized that most of the posts I write here on Hive are contests by different communities. So if I could adopt the teachings from the #CreativeWorkHour sessions and dedicate at least an hour per day to being creative, it would not only help me be a better writer but also become a better version of myself and I also made a post on how #cwh sessions have been helping me progress.
Rebirth
I once heard a saying that "Falling apart gives you a reason to build something new". I have gone through a whole lot of life-changing experiences. Sometimes some circumstances seem to throw us into different phases we can never imagine and that in turn can lead to setbacks in personal growth, the best way to do so is to not let them overcome us. So I plan to keep working on being resilient because only then can things work out for the better.
How Do I Hope To Achieve This?
I am no soothsayer, so I can't say I know what the future holds, but what I can say is that there will be lots of changes. I want to challenge myself more, daring myself to be better, and "Like A Phoenix", I want to overcome adversity and emerge stronger. I want to eradicate procrastination and to do this, I have decided to build resilience by putting myself out there. I mean why only dreem, when you can do it?
Tools I Will Be Needing
I have also come to realize that for these changes to be effective, there would be some tools that will aid in achieving/effecting the change. I will always need some tools to help me achieve this. Some of these are;
*Hive
*Canva
*Google
*CWH sessions
Others are ;
*My Calendar
*Alarm and many more that I am yet to discover.
With these few things, I will work harder to soar beyond my dreams and look on for Hope towards a new dawn

I can't thank you enough for your patience, kindness and guidance. You have inspired me in more ways than I can count.
Thank you so much for all you do. 😘😘😘😘😘
And the new dawn you will embrace soon with all the life transforming experience my dear @rukkie . I am glad to see how you are progressing since your encounter with cwh session. Even though, I haven't been so consistent with it, the times I joined didn't leave me the same person.
Now with resilience, it easier for us to breakthrough. This is lovely
I hope you keep waxing stronger towards achieving your dreams

@rukkie! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @nkemakonam89. (2/5)
Oh! Now you are making me so emotional. Thank you so much for all your kind and encouraging words.
Very nice post on your internal journey through this process @rukkie I can see the resilience that you speak of. And the honesty and diligence in listening to the angel on your shoulder rather than the devil (I should know my shoulder devil is a superstar).
However while reading this post, especially the way you have recounted it in such an open hearted way, I see two more emotions being built on top of the resilience foundation - determination, and optimistic hope. And not just within you but you are passing it on to us too. I accept your energy with Grace.
Godspeed to all your efforts @rukkie
