I am not the better person I want to be now, but I want to be better. The first thing I had to do was to admit to myself who I am and then I asked myself if who I am now is who I want to be. In becoming a better you, you have to admit to yourself who you are and ask yourself if who you are now is who you want to be. I am a very lazy person. I tell my siblings that God knows why he made me the last born. At the same time, I have things I want to achieve. I knew this (laziness) was one of the things I had to admit to myself and so I decided to write down things I needed to work on and one of these things was laziness. Formerly, I could use the whole Saturday to do my house chores but now, it’s still morning and I’m done with my chores. This gives me time to do the next thing I can do. Read!

I wrote a list of things I needed to improve on. I had a conviction that I could do all except one called confidence. Confidence is the feeling of certainty but I grew up with the reverse feeling. It became evident to me in Junior Secondary School when my friends would ask me if I read for an exam and my reply would always be ''I don't know''. I replied them that way not because I wanted to shock them with a 55 over 60 as my result but because I always had doubts in my reading. I'm a youth now and this is the stage where I am supposed to grab opportunities, set goals and work towards achievement but the foundation to my achievements is what I lack. The truth is that I am not in this alone and the reason why most of us are facing this dilemma is because we expect perfection in everything we do to the extent that we run from building a positive mind set. I have started working on myself, you can too. I’m experiencing the changes bit by bit. For this
