Hey Ladies of Hive, hope y'all having a great start of a new week πΈ
Another beautiful week with a fantastic topic for us to share π & this is my entry:
When did you last challenge yourself, or who was the last person to challenge you and how did that work out?
Since I was a little, I have been taught that a woman should stay safe in a comfort zone, such as getting a stable job after graduation and then settling down my life with a little family. I'm certainly not taking the traditional approach like most of my friends have done. Enjoying life is not what other people want but what I want π
Iβve challenged myself many times to try new experiences, meet new people, live in different enviroments & try my hands in various kinds of work. I'm so glad I have done alot as "You can never see any improvement in your life if you just stick to your comfort zone".
Throw back few years ago, when I decided to quit my office job in Singapore to pursue my Working Holiday in New Zealand. It turned out amazing journey ever and definitely the best period in my life. This was the most challenge and amazing experience of mine so far.
A gap year in NZ, I had done so many things on my first time such as travel solo so far away to another country, learn how to drive around the whole country, try my hands in many kinds of work that I never did before, understand Kiwi's accent π . I'm not sure I should call those "challenges"; however, I did enjoy & gained amazing benefit as well as improved myself better & more self-motivated π
I can't tell you enough how it has changed my life and brought so much unforgetable memorries that I will never forget. I'm sometimes struggling to know exactly what I truly want, so challenging myself gives me a better understanding of my capability & helps me achieve my goals & live healthier π I have never thought that I will be the person I am right now. I am stronger, motivated and really looking forward to the things I can do more. Once we experience the hard challenge or tough peak in life, sometimes success or even fail, but they are the greatest lessons in this world that we can learn π
