igbo efon always sounds so scary man 😔

I think every [young] person should have a very clear idea of who they want to be. The life they want to live. Pick a timeframe. 2 years. 5 years. Who do you want to be at 25? 30? 35? 40? Like with terrifying specificity. What sports do you play? Where do you work? What’s your salary? Where do you live? What’s your week like? Who’s still around you? What’s your networth? What industry do you want to be in? What things do you no longer do? I’ve seen so many people fumble opportunities because they couldn’t realize fast enough that they were at the doorway for the life they wanted, because they couldn’t articulate the life they wanted. Write it down, talk about it. with friends. sometimes even with enemies. be loud, and be intentional. I can’t count how many times I’ve been called to do something because a friend remembered that “oh, you said it’d be cool if you worked with an event/company/creative, so this thing came up and I thought of you”. You don’t have the life you want, because you don’t even know what it is yet.
