Have A Little Faith

When I started my journey into tech, I had no idea where it would take me. The only thing I knew was that it would be difficult.

How did I know that it would be difficult?

Because anything that potentially alters the course of your life will be. That is not to say, you shouldn’t try, it is to say that you need to take a leap of faith. I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just following the basic outline of what it took to become a front-end developer

And I struggled.

For the first few months, I didn’t keep a strict study plan and my attempts to try and study were half-hearted. I altered between thinking I couldn’t do this and that it was pointless to continue. I quit for a few months until I picked it up again.

I forget the exact reason I began again, but it had to do something with believing in myself. I knew I could do it but it just seemed so unattainable from my viewpoint.

I didn’t have a STEM degree.

I was confused by simple concepts.

Not to mention the horror stories that people experienced trying to break into tech.

Still, I persisted.

Not just because I was confident or that I had nothing to lose. It was because I could envision what my life could be. I could have a career that paid well, and in turn, I could take care of the people around me. I could have a career that challenged me and that I was excited to experience every day. I could have a career where I could keep growing and the limits to my success were infinite.

And ultimately some odd years later, I have accomplished this but I still have room to grow.

So, if you are hesitant about doing anything in this life ask yourself; Will it make your life better?

And if so, have faith and take that first step to the rest of your life!
