Steem Women club Engagement Contest (What I do for personal development make me who I am and what I will become)

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another contest organized by SteemWomen Club. It's my pleasure to come up with what I've been doing lately to improve myself. Development is a gradual process. You get better at what you do often without knowing it, and one thing about development is that it comes in various ways. We have physical development, mental development, emotional development, and psychological development. I've tried as much s possible to gradually develop myself in these aspects

Learning has been a part of me. I love learning because it's a vital part of human development. The steemit crypto academy taught me a lot about the use of indicators and gave me some insight on other blockchains I wasn't familiar with. Of course, I keep learning and the ones I've learned are still running around in my head. I cultivated the habit of reading a book for 2 months, but because of exigencies and trying to meet up with schedules, I found myself reading a book 5 months. Lol. At least, I learn something from it

The ultimate thing I've been doing lately is learning how to code. It has been in my mind for a long time to have the knowledge, which I started and got a scholarship to learn HTML,CSS, BOOTSTRAP, JAVASCRIPT, REACT, and NODEJS. The institution that gave me the scholarship closed up and my learning was cut short. But guess what? I didn't stop. I continued learning through online videos. It has been fun and I'm really enjoying it

Sometimes, I laugh at myself for doing some things. I have my area of discipline and I teach people about it occasionally. But because I enjoy teaching others, I decided to extend. I started teaching people the little I know about coding. It's funny but I've developed myself by teaching. I know better things I ordinarily don't know because I teach, I'm asked some questions I've never come across and my research keeps making me improve

Also, I teach people about cryptocurrency. What I know and what I learned from the steemit crypto academy made it easy for me to take people through the crypto world. Teaching has been part of me I cannot let go of because it has made me outspoken and I talk fearlessly compared to when I never started talking to an audience

This is what I've been doing for years (exercise). And believe me, I don't look my age. Many people don't believe me when I tell them. It's all because of how I've been developing myself through daily exercise. Anytime I know I won't have time for playing soccer or jogging, I skip and do a press up with sit up in the morning. It's my daily routine to exercise my body because I believe that daily fitness activity keeps the doctor away for a long time

I started farming last year. I didn't realize how nice it is until I had my first harvest. Oh my God! It was bountiful. It helped me a lot because I still have some of what I harvested last year in my home. This is another year of planting and I've started cultivating. Look at the ridges. I made them myself, and this is the first time I'm doing this on my own. I made 10 ridges and gave the rest to workers to complete. I see it as part of the exercise. Working on the farm in my leisure time is fun. I've also started gardening in my compound. (More of that in my diary post as I get back to it)

I've learn to tolerate people over the years. Before now, I discovered that I snap when someone makes me angry and later calls back to beg because I don't have the mind to keep grudges. I don't give room for explanations when people step on me and it's eating me up because I fall back to regret my actions and call to beg even when I'm right. Recieve since I kept telling myself. I'm glad that if I raise my voice to talk to someone now, then the person has gone extra mile to kick my ass several times. I've learned to tolerate people because I believe no one is perfect. Dealing with others with the mindset (they can make mistakes) has been helping me to develop a cordial relationships with people. Teeth and tongue fight as close as they are. So we should expect the worst from our loved ones too. It's a normal thing. We fight to resolve and move on

To sum up everything, what I really discovered I do for personal development is learning. I search and learn new things to become a better person. I get more familiar with the scriptures to get the right direction from my maker. I learn to be better at anything I embark on. I've also learned to make people happy because it makes me happy. No one can develop without the help of another person so if that is the case, I seek development from learning from others while I reach others to develop through me. I take and I give. That makes me happy and I think it's a general improvement in my life
