Life is not a bed of roses, sometimes it gets hard and sometimes it gets easier but we can't say life is tough for us and we want to quit.
We can't say because life is tough we don't want to live again and am sure nobody wants to leave the world anytime soon.
There was a time when life was so tough for me to the extent that I felt like giving up, but whenever I looked back at where I was coming from, I always wished to see the outcome of my struggle and the end of the tough time.
There are times when life seems hard for me because it wasn't easy for a child who grew up without a father to survive, and the fact that my family is not rich made the matter worse, but who am I to judge anyone for the situation I found myself.
I got into a tough time when I opened my shop, and at first, I thought immediately started, customers would be trooping in and out of the place since I have some people I did home service for before, so I thought those people would come over to the shop but I was deceiving myself.
I live in a country where people take things for granted, whatever you are doing for them you can't turn back, meanwhile, customers are always right because you don't want to lose them. I told some of my customers who do home service that I now have a shop, and some of them told me they can't inconvenience themselves because they want to make hair from me, so I don't have a choice but to keep going to their house whenever they wanted to make hair which would make me close the shop until I was done.
Later, I said to myself I had to stay focused on this shop so I stopped going for home service and then focused on the shop, things became hard for me because I wasn't making any sales in the shop for good 3 months and all the money I see on my online activity was used for transportation without getting anything in return.
All I did in the shop was open the shop, clean and then sleep all through because the network in the area wasn't that good to stay online. I nearly quit because sometimes I call my sister for transportation fees since I don't have money again, but then after 3 months without sales, someone passed and asked what I sell, I told her I make hair and she said whenever she passed, my shop looks dark and people passing might not know what I was selling in the shop.
The idea of making a signboard came to my head so I told my husband and he gave me money to do it. That changed things a little and that little was like making sales once a week, lol isn't that a great change I guess? I got tired and I stayed back at home for some time without doing anything except writing articles, meanwhile that time I just joined Hive Blockchain and you all know how newbies struggle to get attention on a platform.
Everything seems hard for me but then when I looked back at where I was coming from, I just wanted to see the outcome of my struggle and what will come out of it, but now I thank God that I didn't quit if not I wouldn't have been where I am now.
One thing about tough time is that it will come and go because no condition is permanent unless will make it permanent.
