Hello guys, I'm so happy to be part of this content and I really enjoy the fact that I'm able to relate to these questions and tell a personal story. As an African child there's always a need/pressure to be responsible and make your parents happy by being the "perfect" child. While growing up I was mostly alone( that's because I didn't have children in my age group to play with) so I had a lot of time to imagine things and how life will be when I grow up. I really didn't have a specific career to pursue I just wanted a happy and comfortable life.
My mum has always been my biggest role model as long as I can remember, her relentless love and care is something I still can't get my head around. She's a very hard-working woman(a health care giver) who balances every aspect of life. I've always want to be just like her,I choose science as my area of specialization just to get on that track and my sole goal then was just to make my mama happy.
Fast forward to the future have I've imagined when I was little, trying to get a university degree came with alot of experiences and life changing decisions. It can be surprisingly difficult to tell the difference between when you're happy or just setting for what life gave you. According to my previous post when I talked about happiness, it's actually a thing of the mind I can confidently say that right now I'm happy with what I've achieved so far and the fact that I keep learning to become a better person.
Currently learning a new digital skills (product management and digital marketing) and I feel so proud and believing that things will get better from here. There are times you feel that contentment and happiness for attaining some things in you're life, so I feel regardless of where we find ourselves we should always strive to become a better version of ourselves in that way we won't be in any pressure or whatsoever. Let’s start with being content. What does it mean to be content? It could mean you’re happy with the situation you are in right now. Or, you might be working towards something, but you’re enjoying the process. Complacent, on the other hand, means that you’re not really making the most out of what you have.
I really appreciate you guys for taking out time to read my article, thanks for your continual support and love, and also for this opportunity to express myself. God bless you
Digital profession going forward is a wise move. Learning to be balanced in life it sounds like Mom taught you well by example.
Subconsciously I think we strive to make our parents proud, knowing the sacrifices they made for us.
Yeah I agree with you, I think that's first major reason to work hard and take responsibility (to make our parents happy), thanks for taking out time to read through
From young we are taught to work, share duties making the family life easier.
Once you grow older you realize how much your parents guided you, it is that was drives most to please their parents.
Exactly
La felicidad es una elección de vida, de aceptar los eventos y circunstancias tal como se presentan sin quererlos cambiar, aunque suene a palabras trilladas así es, me gusto leer tu post.
muchas gracias por tus amables palabras, te lo agradezco mucho🥰🥰
I'm always happy when I am learning new things, also. I'm excited for you and hope life brings wonderful experiences.
Thanks you and also to you
Happiness is contentment with life where you are at the present. As your journey continues, the definition can often change, but it you are making the right choice, your contentment will continue. Also, listening to God's direction, though sometimes might not be what we think we want to do, often in the end, proves to be correct. You sound like you've got things going in the right direction. Take care and keep looking up!
Well, I just learned from a very young age to be grateful and contented with what I have and we're am at a every stage in life, in that way I don't feel pressured. Thank you for your kind words, God bless you

You have received 5 LADY(LOH) tokens for entering the Ladie of Hive contest.
Please note that since our LOH token is still so new, that it will be worth more if we HOLD them for a bit before trying to sell them. Some have been trying to sell them immediately after receiving them, but holding them for a bit will help them to increase in value! We are working behind-the-scenes to try to keep the price stable, but the "sell orders" are hampering the stabilization of the price of this new token. Please hold on to your tokens. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you
