Honestly, respect and being responsible.Hello, beautiful ladies and gentlemen. It's another beautiful week. And I'm super excited to be here again. wishing you all, the best as we begin another week. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. So back to the contest topic for this week. which says.
What are the top three values that guide your major life decisions, and which values do you find the most challenging to practice consistently?

So the top three values that guide my major life decisions are Honestly. First of all, what is honesty? Honestly, it is a core value that is encompassing of truthfulness, integrity, and fairness in one's words and actions. An honest person is a straight forward person, a sincere and trustworthy person. I'm not just being honest today for myself alone, but I want to leave a legacy that my children could walk with pride tomorrow, knowing fully well that their mother was a good and honest person if I'm no more.

Secondly is respect.
What is respect? Well, to me, respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them. whether rich or poor, big or small. And one thing about respect is that you learn it. No one is born with it. As an African child this is one of the first thing you learn. And this respect you see is reciprocal, as you give, you also receive.

And thirdly, and my most challenging, is being responsible, like being responsible means being dependable, accountable, and making good choices. It involves understanding the consequences of one's actions and taking ownership of them. Being responsible actually comes with a lot of responsibilities at the same time; let me explain a little.

Now there are a lot of things I want or wish to do, but I can't do that because of my reputation. As a responsible person, you are likely to be a role model to a lot of people, the ones you know and the ones you don't. People from afar use you as an example. As it is now I'm able to settle a fight between two different couples, the women came to me when they had issues, now they see me as a responsible person that can help them in their marriages, and thank God for directing on handle the matters. Please don't misunderstood me, I'm not perfect, but at a point I know what I'm doing and also know what what I want.

Now these are but few responsibilities of a responsible person, I'm not perfect, but afar I feel and know that I'm a role model to some person. While growing up as an orphan, a lot of people think that we are going to be wayward kids, because they feel that since our parents are no more, no one will discipline or show us the right part to follow. But then reverse was the case; we were later used as examples in the church for how we carried ourselves. I have a lot of things I want to do, but I can because I don't want to disappoint some people who look up to me as their role model.

So being responsible is the most challenging for me. But at the same I don't regret being a responsible person. Thank you for reading through.
