[ENG-SPA] Ladies of Hive community contest #52 : WHO I AM? - Quién soy?

I am one of those people who make a list for everything, for things to do, things to buy, even to not forget that I have to answer an important message on social networks haha I am one of those who have the thought that what is not written is forgotten and not done, I love this feeling of ending the day with a check next to all the things I wrote on my list or at least most of them.

Last Saturday I read the new questions for the ladies of hive community weekly contest and I said "I will write my entry tomorrow", at that time I was busy trying to put a "check" on some of my tasks for the day, that I completely forgot to write it down in my list for the next day and here I am hahaha a week later making my entry minutes before the end of the day, I hope I can send it on time and I thank @young-boss-karin because her entry appeared in my feed and I could remember that I had pending to do it since a week ago. Remember, what is not written is forgotten and not done or done late which is not the most ideal.

Although I would like to answer all the questions this week I feel they are very deep and I could extend so much writing that you would feel you are reading a book hahaha so I will leave a part for when I write my real biography and I will answer only one of the questions. The chosen one is:


Are you who you want to be? Did you dream of being something else, or settle down into a life that just took you along...?

This question is very interesting for me to answer because from a very young age I have been clear about what I wanted to be in life, and when I say very young I mean 9 years old, maybe earlier. I was a very thrifty, organized, creative and perfectionist child, I guess I always knew I would achieve great things and from that age I started working on that. In my school I sold to my friends anything that came to my mind but before I evaluated if it would be well received, I waited for something to be fashionable and invested some of my savings, doubling or tripling them, if there was a fashionable series I sold stickers about that series, if it was fashionable some kind of candy like those that painted the tongue, I sold them and so I went from very small grabbing the taste for business.

I remember when I was even more of a child, maybe 6-7 years old, I would save the money that my parents or relatives gave me until my dad would come at some point and ask me to borrow my money hahaha deep down he pretended not to pay me back because I was a child and I didn't have that much money to spend so he would wait for days or months to go by hoping that maybe I would forget but that never happened hahaha so I was always collecting my money until he paid me back.

All this led me to grow up with a shark mentality and I do not remember at what point in my life I decided that I would be a millionaire at 28 years old, I worked hard for this and managed to become financially independent before the age of 18, at 21 I had my first business, at 23 the second and at 25 the third. It has not been easy, the economy of my country is too unstable and these last years have not been at all encouraging which inevitably led me to bankruptcy on 3 occasions because life in Venezuela was so hard that what you produced was only enough to pay the rent and eat, if you got sick everything went to hell because the medicines were either not available or were super expensive.

I worked hard but every time I thought I was making it, the government would look for a way to destroy our dreams again. It was depressing and I was getting closer and closer to turning 28, I never really stopped trying until my health deteriorated seriously, economic problems, social crisis, family breakups, everything went downhill until I reached the worst moment, I had an accident and had to have an operation that had a cost of $3500 in a country where the minimum wage set by the government is $5 a month, total madness.

I really admire the way I handled this situation, I will not deny that the uncertainty made me cry several times but I was strong and gave my future to God. I lasted 3 months of my life with a fracture in my foot, unable to walk, I had to use a walker but thanks to this, I understood that our life plans are nothing if we exclude God, not even we are something if we do not have God in our heart, just the day I let go of everything and fully trusted in the magnitude of his power and love for us, I received a donation to be able to perform my operation.

The doctor told me after the operation that it would take about 6 months before I would recover completely but it has only been 2 months and I have already managed to return to training, this was something I was longing for because I am an athlete and thanks to this fracture I had to lose my attendance to an international competition. I am healing quickly and I owe it all to God, he calls us many times and we are so focused on our future that we become deaf, blind and dumb but then we understand that all adversities happen for a reason, nothing that happens to us in this world is fortuitous.

Finally, to answer the question hahaha I'm definitely not who I wanted to be, I'm 27 years old and I still haven't made it as a millionaire, I've gone bankrupt 3 times in my life and I'm still recovering from my operation but I'm exactly who I'm supposed to be at this point in my life. I learned to transform the negative into something positive and use it as a springboard, I learned to walk hand in hand with God and I learned that our dreams and goals have no expiration date, it will always be a good time to pick ourselves off the ground, wipe our knees and start fresh.

ESPAÑOL

Soy de las personas que realiza una lista para todo, para las cosas por hacer, las cosas por comprar, hasta para no olvidarme de que debo responder algún mensaje importante en las redes sociales jaja soy de los que tienen el pensamiento de que lo que no se escribe se olvida y no se hace, amo esta sensación de finalizar el día con un check al lado de todas las cosas que escribí en mi lista o al menos de la mayoría.

El sábado pasado leí las nuevas preguntas para el concurso semanal de la comunidad ladies of hive y dije "redactaré mi entrada el día de mañana", en ese momento estaba ocupada intentando poner un "check" en alguna de mis tareas del día, que olvidé por completo anotarlo en mi lista para el día siguiente y aquí me tienen jajaja una semana después realizando mi entrada minutos antes de que finalice el día, espero poder enviarla a tiempo y agradezco a @young-boss-karin porque su entrada apareció en mi feed y pude recordar que tenía pendiente hacerlo desde hace una semana. Recuerden, lo que no se escribe se olvida y no se hace o se hace tarde que no es lo más ideal.

Aunque quisiera responder todas las preguntas de esta semana siento que son muy profundas y podría extenderme tanto escribiendo que sentirían que están leyendo un libro jajaja así que dejaré una parte para cuando escriba mi verdadera biografía y responderé solo una de las preguntas. La elegida es:


¿Eres quien quieres ser? ¿Soñaste con ser otra cosa o te estableciste en una vida que te llevó contigo ...?

Esta pregunta es muy interesante de responder para mi porque desde muy pequeña he tenido claro lo que quería ser en la vida, y cuando digo muy pequeña me refiero a los 9 años, quizás antes. Fui una niña muy ahorrativa, organizada, creativa y perfeccionista, supongo que siempre supe que lograría cosas grandes y desde esa edad empecé a trabajar en eso. En mi colegio le vendía a mis amigos cualquier cosa que se me ocurriera pero antes evaluaba si tendría buena recepción, esperaba que algo estuviese de moda e invertía algo de mis ahorros logrando duplicarlos o triplicarlos, si había una serie de moda yo vendía stickers sobre esa serie, si estaba de moda algún tipo de caramelo como aquellos que pintaban la lengua, yo los vendía y así fui desde muy pequeña agarrándole el gusto a los negocios.

Recuerdo que cuando era aún más niña, quizás unos 6-7 años, yo ahorraba el dinero que me daban mis padres o familiares hasta que llegaba mi papá en algún momento y me pedía mi dinero prestado jajaja en el fondo el pretendía no devolvérmelo porque yo era una niña y no tenía en que gastar tanto dinero así que el esperaba que pasaran los días o los meses esperando que quizás se me olvidara pero eso nunca sucedía jajaja entonces siempre estaba cobrándole mi dinero hasta que me lo pagaba.

Todo esto me llevó a crecer con mentalidad de tiburón y no recuerdo en que momento de mi vida decidí que sería millonaria a los 28 años, trabajé por esto fuertemente y logré independizarme económicamente antes de los 18 años, a los 21 años ya tenía mi primer negocio, a los 23 el segundo y a los 25 el tercero. No ha sido fácil, la economía de mi país es demasiado inestable y estos últimos años no han sido para nada alentadores lo que me llevó inevitablemente a la quiebra en 3 ocasiones pues la vida en Venezuela estaba tan dura que lo que producías solo alcanzaba para pagar la renta y comer, si te llegabas a enfermar todo se iba al carajo pues los medicamentos o no se conseguían o eran super costosos.

Trabajé duramente pero cada vez que creía que lo estaba logrando, el gobierno buscaba la manera de volver a destruir nuestros sueños. Era deprimente y cada vez estaba más cerca de cumplir 28 años, realmente nunca dejé de intentarlo hasta que mi salud se deterioró gravemente, los problemas económicos, la crisis social, rupturas familiares, todo fue en picada hasta que llegué al peor momento, tuve un accidente y debía realizarme una operación que tenía un costo de 3.500 dólares en un país donde el sueldo mínimo establecido por el gobierno es de 5$ al mes, una total locura.

Realmente admiro la manera en la que manejé esta situación, no negaré que la incertidumbre me hizo llorar varias veces pero fui fuerte y entregué mi futuro a Dios. Duré 3 meses de mi vida con una fractura en mi pie, sin poder caminar, debía utilizar una andadera pero gracias a esto, comprendí que nuestros planes de vida nos son nada si excluimos a Dios, ni siquiera nosotros somos algo si no tenemos a Dios en nuestro corazón, justo el día en el que solté todo y confié plenamente en la magnitud de su poder y amor por nosotros, recibí una donación para poder realizar mi operación.

El doctor me dijo luego de operarme que pasarían unos 6 meses antes de recuperarme por completo pero solo han pasado 2 meses y ya logré volver a entrenar, esto era algo que anhelaba pues soy deportista y gracias a esta fractura tuve que perder mi asistencia a una competencia internacional. Estoy sanando rápidamente y todo se lo debo a Dios, el nos llama muchas veces y estamos tan concentrados en nuestro futuro que nos volvemos sordos, ciegos y mudos pero luego comprendemos que todas las adversidades pasan por algo, nada de lo que nos ocurre en este mundo es fortuito.

Finalmente, para responder la pregunta jajaja definitivamente no soy quien quería ser, tengo 27 años y aún no he conseguido ser millonaria, he ido a la quiebra 3 veces en mi vida y aún me estoy recuperando de mi operación pero soy exactamente quien se supone que debería ser en este momento de mi vida. Aprendí a transformar lo negativo en algo positivo y usarlo como un trampolín, aprendí a caminar de la mano de Dios y aprendí que nuestros sueños y metas no tienen fecha de caducidad, siempre será un buen momento para levantarnos del suelo, limpiar nuestras rodillas y empezar de cero.

A walk through my mind

I write about the things I am passionate about, my beloved sport, delicious food that brings a smile to my face, traveling around my beautiful country and my research in fashion. I am a fashionista, sportswoman, foddie and petlover. I love working for my dreams and creating cool things with my hands but most of all I enjoy inspiring those around me to be their best version.

You have received 5 LADY(LOH) for entering the Ladies of Hive contest.

Please note that since our LOH token is still so new, that it will be worth more if we HOLD them for a bit before trying to sell them. Some have been trying to sell them immediately after receiving them, but holding them for a bit will help them to increase in value! We are working behind-the-scenes to try to keep the price stable, but the "sell orders" are hampering the stabilization of the price of this new token. Please hold on to your tokens. Thank you! 🙂

Tenga en cuenta que, dado que nuestro token LOH todavía es tan nuevo, valdrá más si los MANTENEMOS por un tiempo antes de intentar venderlos. Algunos de ustedes han estado tratando de venderlos inmediatamente después de recibirlos, ¡pero retenerlos por un tiempo les ayudará a aumentar su valor! Estamos trabajando entre bastidores para tratar de mantener estable el precio, pero las "órdenes de venta" están obstaculizando la estabilización del precio de este nuevo token. ¡Considere esperar! ¡Gracias! 🤗

Loads of fun learning the ropes so young. Businesses before 25 admirable during trying times, always striving to move forward.

Life never really goes to plan, health in body and mind is first priority.

I am impressed that you have recognized your talent early in life and developed a business sense with an admirable attitude of NOT GIVING UP, even after 3 bankruptcies in an environment that is not conducive to business. Then endure this injury on top of it. I am more impressed with your mental resilience, It's something we all can use in this day and age no matter where we are.

Thank you for Posting @lunaticanto ❤️

Thank you very much, I am really impressed with myself too, I guess living with so many difficulties has helped me to always see the glass half full instead of half empty. Positive attitude and mind always that when we least expect it we understand our way. Happy Sunday, a hug.
