What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
You know, there are some questions that just demand an answer. Like today’s prompt: What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Oh, where do I even start? Should I talk about the time I moved to a whole new country by myself, or the time life humbled me with a major setback? Let’s get into it.
First, Let’s say moving to a new place (continent/country) for the very first time.
For me, moving to the UK was one of those things that started as a joke… and then, suddenly, it wasn’t.
One minute, I was casually filling out applications, the next, I was staring at my admission offer letter like, and then my visa…Wait, is this real? Pinch me…😅
Fast forward to when I was landing in the UK all alone, confused, and asking myself who sent me.
No parents, no familiar faces, just me, my faith, and my savings from back in Nigeria (shoutout to my past self for that little foresight). Those first few months?
Let’s just say, survival mode was ON. But looking back, that experience shaped me. It forced me to be independent, to push myself, and ultimately, to grow.
Then, there was this major setback.
You know that feeling when you do everything right literally, every single thing right and life still looks at you and says nah, not today? Yeah, that happened.
I hit a wall so hard, I almost packed my bags and went home.
Yo Yo Yo…JUST KIDDING😂😂🥴
But you know what? It taught me resilience. It forced me to dig deeper, to push through, and to remind myself why I started in the first place.
At the end of the day, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t come wrapped in a pretty package. It comes through experiences that test, stretch, and sometimes even break you a little. But hey, what’s a success story without a few plot twists, right?
So, tell me, friend…what’s that one life experience that made you stronger?
I’d love to hear from you too.
