Keep at it; you’re growing 📈

It is often difficult for us to convince ourselves that we have grown because we are constantly trying to be better. We have a goal in mind, and in pursuing that goal, we forget that we have come a long way. However, it is best to take some time to reflect deeply.

All it takes is consistency and hard work; trust me, it would pay off. I did some reflection and I have attached some of my designs from the times I tried out the daily UI challenge with about four to five months apart.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, and trust your growth process✨ As cliche as it sounds, Rome wasn't built in one day. It is all going to work great, for your good. You just have to show up everyday, even if it is 5% every other day.

What have I been up to?

I have been occupied with work lately and I haven’t been able to do much personal learning. Oh yes, I have been learning HTML and CSS. I am trying to complete my Complete Web & Mobile Designer in 2022: UI/UX, Figma course on Udemy and HTML and CSS are modules (extra) in the course. It has been fun, and coding is not as hard as I thought it was.

Some lines of code I wrote the other day.

I also started redesigning my portfolio on Webflow and I am grateful to the University of YouTube for the progress I have made thus far.

Progress on my portfolio thus far.

I wanted this article to be short and motivating because it has been a rough couple of weeks for me. I just wanted to encourage someone to keep pushing💪🏿✨ See you soon!
