Looking back to how I was and how I am now I see a lot has changed and it is all because of the actions I took.
I'm glad I get to share these actions here all thanks to @ecotrain for this week's question on some actions taken that led to positive changes.
Change will only occur when action is taken. And our actions determine the change. The certain thing is that action will prompt change either positive or negative change.
Have taken so many actions and one way or the other has contributed to my life. The first one I took was the one that changed my mindset on how I see things and approach life problems was
HAVING A MINDSET TO NEVER GIVE UP EACH TIME I FAIL
failure is the weakness to meet expectations. Failure is needed for growth but requires a strong type to understand this. I see why Thomas Edison kept trying after failing 99 times and eventually got it right the 100th time. I'm the type that the fear of failing deprives me of trying and so I would rather not try than fail. Then having this mindset changed my perspective and approach which ended up building a better version of me to approach problems.
JOINING HIVE

Having to express myself and create awareness on things I love is a lovely thing.
Joining hive is one step I took that has helped me acquire knowledge from different people of wide scope of thinking and has helped me realize some part of me like letting my opinion out
Hive gave me an insight into the crypto world.
Hive became a source to earn and learn at the same time. Joining this train came with a lot of positive changes in my life.
I get to learn more, create awareness on things I love, and also earn.
TO BE ALWAYS GRATEFUL
Gratitude allows more goodness into our lives
no matter how small the favor might be once it is been appreciated there is a tendency to receive more. Having to be a grateful soul has indeed helped me to receive more goodness. I tend to see a reason to be grateful in whatever situation I find myself and so far God kept giving me more reason to be grateful by blessings me with more goodness.

PUTTING MYSELF FIRST
I'm the type to give in to friends even when it is not comfortable with me I do this a lot because I do not want to lose people's friendships. I found out that this was not helping rather it caused me a lot and then I took a decision to only do what is best for me even if it requires losing the friendship and that has helped grow in so many ways and even bring me to only true friends.
Actions like this have helped build a better version of me and I'm glad I took them.

Yes, action brings about a change, whether we like it or not our actions will always influence a certain part of our lives.
Change can be constant or it could just come once in a while. I think the mindset that comes with failure changes things.
First time I failed a course in the university was the hardest times of my life, it affected my psychology, affected my CGPA, affected every aspect of my life because I saw it as a draw back, something I couldn't ever recover from, i almost even gave , almost stopped attending classes but it took a positive turn for me and it actually gave me strengths.
Failure strengthens you in ways you never know, if given a second chance to get to learn and do it a lot better, I look and wondered how it'll be if I never experienced that failure then, It would have been harder if it had happened a lot later, maybe then I wouldn't understand it. So I'm thankful for that change. That's where gratitude comes it. It is an undenying factor for change. The bible says to be thankful always even through the good times and the bad, it's always going to be better.
Every thing changes eventually, our mindsets, our association, our growth, Hive is a great platform to experience things and surely that change can never be contended with.
Thank you for the eye opener @ijohnsen ,
