Hello beautiful people. It is commonplace that we look forward to better days ahead especially in our country Nigeria where things are increasingly difficult and our greatest asset is hope. This most times we do without adequate preparation, particularly with respect to self development. We so believe in 'e go better' that we tend to not recognize place of preparation. Consequently, when the day presents itself, we are poorly or not at all prepared.
My friend and I discussed along this line. He told me how he missed an express opportunity because he lacked a particular, necessary requirement for the opportunity. I felt bad about it owing to how rare such opportunities are to come about. At that time, I never had an idea it would happen to me soon.
Less than two months later, I saw a post from a man whose attention I had being longing to get. In the post, he requested application for a content creator. I sent him an email expressing my desire to work with him and how I was hamstrung experience wise. He requested links to my products. This was when it dawned on me that I did not meet the requirement. I lost out because I didn't have what was needed.
I had the opportunity to learn content creation but I thought I didn't need it. When I needed it, I didn't have it.
This may be your story too or something similar. Don't be discouraged. You can still learn that skill, get that Master's or PhD. Don't say the Bachelor's that you have, you have not enjoyed it. What if the door that may open for you requires what you don't have now?
It is better to have what you do not need now than not have it when you need it.
There are several free skills you can get right now, from the web, from friends who will freely teach it to you, from family who have the experience.
You only job is to show interest in getting this skills, showing up to learn this skills and keep them honed as you practice often.
There is nothing more spectacular than having what you need in abundance when the time comes, you will be happy and fulfilled because when others are still trying to find their way around a particular challenge, you already know what to do, how to do it and you are many steps ahead of the game.
You will experience and internal satisfaction.
Get what you can now even if you do not actually need it right now.
