My Journey through Self-Discovery: Overcoming Fear, It’s the Road to More Achieving Goals (My Introductory Post)

Hello there! I am Lolita Igot Añana. A name you’re quite not familiar with but once you know me well, definitely we will become friends. You can call me ‘’Lits”. A shy type, a very kind down-to earth person, and a typical kind of girl living in a country called “Philippines’.A resident in Lapu-Lapu City,Cebu.These are just some of the adjectives that would describe me. I existed in this world for almost 37 years and happened to be born on the month of June, cancer is my Zodiac sign, a loving, kind and caring to family and friends.I am a loving mother to my adorable kid Bea,my strength. To her,I become patient and strong independent woman.
But wait, there’s more to this. C'mon and get to know me even better.I came from an average family where everyday is always a busy day. From helping my parents to supporting my sibling in their studies. Life for me is a very adventurous thing and I see it as a blessing and not a struggling from day to day living.

I am Optimistic, Ambitious and Goal Oriented.
These are just a few adjectives that describe my whole being. Optimistic because whatever life throws at me, I'll always sure that I stand and fight in the midst of difficulties. Life recently has been always good at me,fighting and facing battles positively,the more I embraced life positively .I am ambitious, have a strong desire and I am determine to succeed. Becoming a teacher is quite an ambitious thing to me, because in the first place I always thought and hoped for passing the board exam and so I get the things I manifested in. I become a teacher in the year 2013. It was a indeed a good start of my career. I started to become passionate in teaching and started growing in the Deped.

I am ambitious, have a strong desire and is determine to succeed. Becoming a teacher is one of the most ambitious thing I've ever dreamed of.I am happily serving and teaching the students for over 12 years now. I am looking forward for more success in the coming years.

I am a Goal Oriented person aspiring to become a successful person one day, I never stop to look for opportunities until I came across the name @antonette in the Facebook .I am on boarded by her @antonette and meet and greet at the Facebook, she oriented me how hive works and I was fascinated listening and joining her in most of the discussions. Why I joined Hive? For me, it’s a safe space for me to express my deep thoughts and feelings through writing . I am passionate about In joining hive community because I do love to share my ideas through writing. I've always been reminded of the rules such as, no using of AI in the post, no plagiarism and I must use my original pictures when uploading it. And most, importantly, Engagement is a must when you join in the hive community. I always look after this kind of opportunity, thanks to my mentor for bringing me into the world of blogging, where I can always say the things I want to say. Because I know the feeling and the joy we felt in our hearts when we write and feature something, it is somewhat like fulfilling to oneself and to the whole world.

My family is what keeps world. My whole life changed, now I realized that my family really means the world to me. I lost my father way back 2017-- when I was still waiting for the result of the board exam. Though it was a very tragic thing that happened to me because my dad did not even experienced the life I was about to dream for him. But thankful to him, for he left us with so much lessons in life, like teaching me to see life positively even if the world sometimes is cruel to you.

It's my mother who always stood by me whenever life becomes uneasy, the experienced that I had helped me to discover more about myself. That I have to practice self- love, self-care and above all experienced self-healing.

Life really changed when I marry my husband. A life full of a roller coaster rides, from pregnancy until the baby conceived. Thanks to the following people-- I gained my strength back and see life again positively. My baby, until she becomes 4 years old. I realized that life is a blessing; it has more to offer you. Happiness is a simple joy in simple things and contentment of every little thing that I have. My baby my precious little one, that God given me is more than a blessing a mother could ask for.Becoming a mother is a big break in my life wherein I learned so many things lessons in life.A never ending gratitude to the Lord for giving me a baby who brought shine in my life.

Above all, my strong faith to our dear Lord, wherever I am right now, I am not who I am today if not because of Him. All glory to Him for putting me in the right place.I become successful and what I am today because I have a greater God who always guide me in everything I've done.Faith,hope and love is always the ingredient to a successful life. Whatever life throws at you when you have strong faith to God, and always believe that everything is just a test of life. Don't ever surrender in life instead go on and have trust in God that everything has always a right time.
