As much as what I'm about to say sounds funny or weird, it's the fact.  I've got a lot of inspirational people in my life, but the one person that stood out for me, is myself. Yes, you heard me right. I've always wanted a kind of life for myself right from childhood and everyday I wake up, I knew it would take me a lot to be that person. I'm so purpose-driven that, I find it hard to be distracted. Recently, while chit chatting with someone, she mentioned how focused I am and determined I am, because when I make up my mind to do something, I make sure I do it and that has made her sit up.  I'm so resilient that, even when I face obstacles I know it's okay to pause, but quitting is never in my dictionary. Aside that, I know how many people I've encouraged to chase their dreams regardless of their fear. I'm the encourager, the goal better, the cheerleader, I empower many , and I spread positivity anywhere I maybe. I make schedules for everything and I'm self disciplined to meet up with every damn thing. Deadlines got nothing on me, except I'm sick. I push myself beyond my limit, chase dreams that scares me, and never take failure as a reason to quit, but to try harder and try something in a different way. I count myself a blessing to others, and I'm so excited to see people do big things because of my contagious zeal, motivation, and energy. Self-affirmations are the hugest part of my self-care routine. Even on my screen, I have my daily affirmations boldly written. Nothing drives me more than myself, my vision, my dreams and where I want to see myself in life few years from now.  I'm also big on celebrating my little wins, I count every achievement worthy of celebration, because it's the small things in life that count. You see gratitude? That's my nickname. I am very appreciative of everyone and everything around me and I show it in words and deeds. I want a better life for myself, my family, my loved ones and even my community at large, so that is enough fuel to keep pushing. I know who I am, and I am who I think I am! I know where I come from, where I'm headed and where I wanna be. I'm very mindful of the energy around me, when I sniff something negative, be it people or their talks, I take myself out of it. I don't wanna be a bitter person, I don't wanna be an ingrate, I don't wanna be one who is envious, I don't wanna be one who compare myself to others. As much as I want to win, I want others around me to win too, I'm rooting for everyone and that's why I've got great friends. They know, I'm a safe space, where they can share their joys, achievement, wins and I will never feel threatened by it. I rather clap for them and not downplay their growth. In conclusion, I take happiness as my daily pill. I do things that keeps me fulfilled everyday, no matter how small it may seem and if I weren't me, I wouldn't have loved to be someone else. ____ _{You enjoyed reading this?
