Too many young people are getting stuck 2-5yrs after graduation cos they started in jobs they don't like or that they consider lower than their potential. As someone who changed careers thrice before settling in, I can relate. If this is you, please read this Plan A-C.
Plan A - Your current job. Pays your bills (except you have legacy money or other sources). Work hard and be the very best at it. Seek ways to cross from your role that you don't like to a function that you like within the company. Learn the skills online or through mentorship and volunteer to support those in those roles. And the only way to get considered for a switch is to first ensure you are a star at your role and the company sees your value. Don't be a pollutant or share bad energy because you don't like the job. No one remembers your likeness or otherwise for the job, but everyone remembers the energy you brought to them.
Plan B - Stay awake at night or dedicate at least 2hrs a day reading, learning & applying for roles that match what you really want or desire. Don't be complacent or get comfortable. Comfort is easy once you start earning. Be hungry and shameless in your hunger. Send that DM. Send that mail. And you may even get options for experienced hire roles in this career that you don't like. Never be afraid to start again in another company. You have to decide very quickly before it gets too late to start again. Else, you'll still be on the job 10yrs later, unhappy and complaining as you did in year 1. It's pointless spending your entire day working for a job you don't enjoy. Pay cuts are easier to absorb when you're less than 30yrs old. The younger the better. I restarted my career 3times by age 26 yet made Manager at 29 & SM at 32. Cos all the experiences built up and counted.
Plan C: This is your fallback plan. If everything else fails, what will happen? This is your plan C. Save as if your life depends on it. You can start a side hustle (preferably in the line you desire) & grow it into a business. Many great founders & companies were built as side hustles. I started my first company as a side hustle even from NYSC year. Nike was founded as a side hustle and countless other examples. You can go back to school (preferably abroad). Activate your japa plans. Or 300 million things. But those decisions become easier as you save more. This is why its easier for those from rich homes to make these decisions. Cos their needs are covered. So don't compare yourself. Plan as if your life depends on it, because it really does.
There is a time for everything. A time to Grieve and a time to Heal.
A time to Laugh and a time to Dance. A time to Speak & A time for Silence.
Thank you to everyone out there for your love and that has held me down.
My next album TIMELESS is here, March 31st. Preorder in bio๐
In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horrific that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels we're exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His own cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage..Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heartrate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is โGod among usโ in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.
