I love to be challenged.

“Sometimes it's like: If something terrifies you, you should totally do it BECAUSE it terrifies you. And then you'll do it and you'll realise what you're capable of.”

Jonathan Saccone-Joly

I love to be challenged and that is it! It helps me to identify my ability in dishing such a task out and I wouldn't mind doing it over and over again. One thing about me is that I love to make my presence known wherever I am unless I just don't want to focus on it. But if I decide to focus, I wouldn't hesitate to give in my best.

I remember those times I joined Steemit some years ago. I never relented as I was always active during the day and night. I put in my efforts and while I was teaching, it didn't stop me from being active because when I see someone engaging, I love to compete with the person and this has helped me a lot to be a part of engagement online that I don't find it difficult at all. It helps me grow and know more people.

I later joined Uptrennd too and it got to a point, I was taken as the Princess of Uptrennd. I never stopped engaging which makes people think I was one of the guardians on the site. It took people time to believe that I wasn't because I was even doing the work of the guardians in stopping spammers. My own was even too much but I enjoyed the fun.

When I became a student at Uptrennd University, it was fun because the owner of the platform had to give us more levels even higher than some guardians. My engagement was amazing which made people say they are always looking up to me because I am working hard. Well, I love the compliment because it keeps encouraging me to do better. Once I am being complimented, I make sure not to deviate from it but keep improving.

Then came Readcash. Seriously, I dedicated my time here more, still doing that today because I can't stop coming here. My engagement made me meet new people and it helped me a lot because I am always excited when people come over to read my posts and drop comments. When the leaderboard was still active, I see myself on the list too and it made me work more as I didn't want to leave such a list.

Finally, I knew about Hive. This platform has been amazing but I never focused on it as I do now. I became focused as of March this year which made me feel sad not being committed to it at that right time. I think there were many things on my plate and it reduced my focus over there.

Some weeks ago, I saw an engagement league post where I see people on the top 100 lists. I felt sad because I could have been among them if I had my focus there too. Then, I became committed and interested to be on that list but I have to sacrifice myself and time there which isn't a problem because it is what I do.

Someone had to challenge me because I saw him as the second person on the list. I felt challenged and decided to do my best. This is what I want and love. Just challenge me! Lol

Last week, I was surprised to see my name among the top 100 in the engagement league. Though I was happy, but I wanted more. I was given 1 HP and another 5 Hive for being one of the special lucky numbers which I used to power up. I felt great about it and said to myself that next week would be great. I did my best on Hive and just yesterday, the post was out again and I found myself at number 9 among the top 100. That was fantastic! I felt great within me.

I told myself that if I want to be committed to something, I will put in my effort. I was also part of the lucky special numbers and waiting for a little token which I will be grateful for.

It made me feel happy that I was challenged and I didn't disappoint and the guy had to thank me for such effort. Right now, I am working towards making the list before next week through the Ecency frontend. I won't relent because it's also fun on Hive just as it is here. What I do is balance both so I wouldn't be leaving any behind.

Yesterday came great for me and I hope today becomes greater for every one of us. Let's do our best and never forget to take care of our health because it's important. While we are chasing the bag, let's chase our health too so we don't end up falling sick. It's less than 9 weeks to the end of the year and I can't wait to celebrate with my family.

In three weeks, a friend would be getting married and being one of her friends, she wants me to be there. Though I contemplated whether to go or not, I concluded that I would attend to make her happy. I am already getting ready for things I would need plus sending gifts to her.

Thanks for your time.
