Hello dear steemians,
I bring you greeting from my end hoping you all are doing great, I'm very delighted to participate in this amazing contest titled "LIFE LESSON LEARNED", it's indeed a beautiful one to participate in, all thanks to @sahmie for organizing such an interesting contest.

✅What's a tough situation you've been through, and what did you learn from it?

I've faced significant challenges, including poverty, depression, and rejection. Growing up in an average Nigerian family, my parents struggled to meet all my needs, but their love and provision kept me going. Despite the financial constraints, they ensured I never went to bed hungry, and I'm grateful for that. However, the struggles didn't end there. I was often ridiculed by classmates and overlooked by teachers due to my learning pace, leading to feelings of rejection and depression. These experiences were tough, but they shaped me into the person I am today.

✅What's a piece of advice you'd give to your younger self?

If I could go back, I'd tell myself not to let fear hold you back. Believe in your ideas and yourself, even when others don't. It's easy to get caught up in what others think, but ultimately, your belief in yourself is what matters most. Always put God first in all you do, and trust that His plans for you are greater than anything you can imagine. Don't be afraid to take risks and step out of your comfort zone; that's where growth happens.

✅What's the most important lesson you've learned and how has the lesson changed you?

Through this journey, I've learned the importance of resilience and determination. I've come to realize that believing in myself is crucial, especially when others doubt me. Trusting God in every situation has been a cornerstone of my strength, and I've learned to lean on my faith during turbulent times. My present stage is not my final destination; it's a stepping stone to greater things. These lessons have given me hope and the courage to keep pushing forward, even when the road ahead seems uncertain.

✓Most Important Lesson:

One of the most profound lessons I've learned is that God doesn't choose the qualified; He qualifies the chosen. This truth has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams, knowing that my abilities are not the determining factor in my success. I've also learned that everything around you has value; it's about discovering that value. Whether it's people, experiences, or resources, there's always something to be learned or gained. This mindset has helped me approach life with a sense of curiosity and appreciation.

✅What mistake taught you the most and what's the best lesson you've ever gotten?

Initially, I hesitated to try due to fear of rejection. This fear held me back from pursuing opportunities that could have been beneficial. However, this experience taught me the importance of taking risks and seeking feedback. I've learned that rejection is not a reflection of my worth but rather an opportunity to grow and improve. By embracing challenges and learning from criticism, I've become more resilient and better equipped to handle life's ups and downs.

Thanks for reading through my post and always engaging on my post, I invite @josepha @patjewell and @ruthjoe to participate in this contest.
