I am currently choosing the hard life by deciding to keep job hunting from lagos and not from the comfort of my circle in Ile-Ife. This is really hard but essential because the constant discomfort from staying at home 24/7 pushes me to develop myself for increased employability possibilities, it also reminds me to keep applying and take chances even when i seem unqualified . I am also becoming less emotionally dependent on my friends. I miss them and the comfort of being able to walk to their hostels when i have a problem but i am learning to sit with my uncomfortable emotions and try to process things myself (sorry this is so long)
Hi Oriade! Thank you so much for this. Not to sound cliché or anything but this letter was so timely. I was stuck, literally glued to the end, (I even read it a third time). Again, thank you for taking out time to write this. Jensen’s advise? I’ll hold on to it. I’ll choose resilience, I’ll reject my comfort zone. I’ll embrace the pain of retaking this MBBS exams again, I’ll embrace the suffering because if I give in now, I’ll be choosing the easier path. Oof! I can’t wait. Thank you once again!
For me, it's pushing myself out there... applying for talks, presentations... literally closing my eyes to just do it. It's true, you never know what you're capable of or what the future holds unless you try. And that advice from Jensen, 👌🏽
