Remember when i started cybersecurity
I was dedicating at least 12-16 hours a day
Most times around 14 hours on average every single day just so i could bridge the knowledge gap that was present then
And now today i spend a minimum of 6 hours everyday up-skilling, either studying or working on projects or just general cybersecurity research,
If you know me very well and you’ve been following me regularly you should know this by now
If you want something soooo badd
Be ready to do everything possible to get it
Simple
You see others landing security roles, finding CVEs, making $$$ from bug bounties, contributing to open source, and think, “I’ll never catch up”.
Your journey is yours. Everyone starts at a different place.
Time spent comparing is time wasted—use that energy to learn, refine your skills, and build.
The only competition is who you were yesterday. Level up one day at a time.
You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be, but the actions you take now will determine where you end up.
