A guy called me recently, but I didn’t know when he called,
I opened my button phone to see 2 missed calls from the same unsaved number
So I called back, and the guy picked, and introduced himself has someone who has been following what I do online for sometimes now
He said he called because he had a motion graphics gig that he wants to refer me for
I told him that I just started learning motion graphics, he insisted that it doesn’t matter, that he knows I can get it done, that atleast this will be an opportunity to practice
I was just smiling on the call, and I insisted that I couldn’t do anything yet, that I recently just started learning
So he asked if I could refer someone else, and I did just that, I referred him to a friend who’s very good at it
It was then that it dawned on me that I just lost an opportunity that I had no business loosing
You see, 2023 was the first time I attempted learning motion design, because I genuinely enjoyed watching motion videos and I still do
I got a smartphone motion design course for 30k in December 2023, and it looked like I was serious with it, I watched a lot of videos, and even started practicing a bit, until January 2024
I lost track, for really genuine reasons (work and school)
In July 2024, I spent more than half a million to get a new Laptop with crazy specs, just so I could learn motion design during my 1yr break in 2025
Oh well, I got a 150k solid motion design course last year (2025), and I still haven’t gone past Week1 in the training, and again, I have really genuine reasons why I fell short again
If I had invested time in consistently learning and practicing motion design since that 2023, by now, I would’ve become a pro, especially with my solid background in graphic design…
And yeah, this will an opportunity for me, which I would’ve been able to easily maximize
The reason why a lot of young persons are where they are financially, currently, isn’t really an absence of opportunities, it’s just that you’re not equipped with the right skill and mindset to RECOGNIZE the opportunities, and MAXIMIZE the opportunities
It has never really been a problem of “absence of opportunities” for many young persons, but instead “unequipped youngies”
Hopefully this speaks to a young person,
You’re in charge of your life, Take Charge!
And yeah, it starts from your daily decisions
Repost for another young person.
