I learn from many sources, even YouTube, as long as it makes sense. One lesson I hold close is not to compare myself with others but with who I was one or two years ago. That’s how I truly measure my growth and progress.

I sometimes underestimate myself, but I’ve made real progress. Now, I can afford to pay my daughter’s school fees—something that felt impossible last year. I’ve realized that even though I often feel short of money, I always manage to fulfill every financial responsibility. That shows I’m stronger and more capable than I often think.

I can buy my daughter a phone for her studies and even raise more chickens. I know I still get stressed sometimes, but it’s no longer a big problem. I’ve learned to handle things better now, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

If I compare myself with others, I feel like I’m nothing. My friends buy new cars, renovate homes, and go on holidays. Thinking like that holds me back. Instead, I focus on who I was and how far I’ve come. Now, I choose to do things that truly improve my quality of life.

I do different kinds of jobs, from teaching to becoming a street seller. I’m not ashamed of any of it because each step is part of my journey. I also post on Hive, finding every possible way to grow. Whatever I can do to improve my life, I’m willing to try. I believe small actions, done with consistency, can lead to a better future.
