As we know, life is full of challenges. There is always one thing or another we battle with individually. In my previous post, I mentioned that for two years now, I have been a stay at home mum due to family reasons. Now, when the issue of resigning my job came up, I saw it as a big challenge, to the point of having issues with my husband for coming up with the idea. To tell you how annoyed I was with him, I reported him to my brothers and to his own family too. Everyone was calling him, questioning him on why he should allow his wife, a graduate, to end up being a stay-at-home mom. Sincerely, when I was in school, I already mentally planned what my ambition as a Carrer woman would look like. How I will employ a nanny to look after my kids while I carry on practicing my profession. I never imagined in my life being a stay-at-home mom until situations beyond my control came knocking. I took a deep breath, calmed down, and reasoned with my husband. Then I saw his reasons for the decision he took.
However, I felt that nothing good could come out of me again while staying at home. I felt there's no opportunity for a stay at home mom like mine. A lot of thoughts were running through my mind, like not having my own money until I requested it from my husband and not being able to send money for my parents until I asked my husband. All these made me feel worse. I was only seeing my challenge but failed to see that opportunity can come out of staying at home.
It wasn't long, and my immediate elder called to check on me. He asked about my plans regarding my current challenge of doing away with my office job, and I only complained and murmured. Then he took an hour to open my eyes to online opportunities and encouraged me to take advantage of my challenge by fixing myself in any online activities, earning through them, and still performing my duties as a stay-at-home mom. That was when I had a second rethink about Hive, as I rejected it the first time I was told about blockchain blogging. Not only that, I then joined hive, but I also joined the real estate business through online marketing. Trust me, these two online activities have kept me busier than my days in the office. They have assisted me financially beyond my expectations, and my personal development has been on track too.
I am glad to have looked for opportunities through my challenge. What about you? Find opportunity in every challenge!
Thanks for your time on my blog 🤗.
