I resigned from my job in May this year.�


To many, it was a crazy decision to have resigned without having any back up plan on how to survive what I'd subject myself to and anyone around me.

I decided to go off because my mental health was getting affected, had lots on my chest to be unburdened and then, my productivity at my previous work was getting sullied.

So, I had to opt out.

Though, I did it afraid. It was as if I didn't know what I was doing. I know it may not be the best decision but I felt it was the right thing to do. Still, no one wants to understand why I needed to quit.

It took about 2 months to get myself together and then, I began job hunt again.

�Sent 6772 job applications.
�Got recommended for 57 job opportunities.
�Had 356 rejection mails.
�Got 12 job with a very low pay which I rejected.
�The rest didn't bother to send a feedback even after I sent follow up mails.

At a point, I was getting frustrated, depressed and shattered.

But thanks to God, before month of August wrapped up, an offer letter came in from Heritage Bank Plc from one of your job posts on Nairaland

God didn't just finish with me there.

Coincidentally, during those times, I couldn't apply for some remote jobs because my laptop had fault and so, I couldn't do jobs that would be complex using my phone. So, I just do menial, quick jobs that doesn't even cut $5.

But then, I had taken up the never-give-up attitude and I kept showing up. Though, there are days I don't feel like it but thanks for the community of friends (people more than just a network) I have built on this space. They are always coming through.

It was this time we had the maiden edition of #WriteToSell class and it was amazing to have 5 participants signed up. The reviews were fierce enough to make me fulfilled. Moreso, all of them are doing excellently well with writing already.

Just 2 days to the end of August, I got another system (laptop).

Again, God came through.

Today isn't the story about what I went through during the times I had no job to hold on to but one thing I learnt is this;

The moment you think you can figure it all by yourselves, then God will place you on a permissive will. It's a dangerous place to be because you feel your intelligence is enough to get you out of a not-so-good situation whereas, GRACE is all you need.

Sometimes, life will show its darkest side and the only way you can lighten your journey is allowing that ONE who has the candle light hold your hands.

That's how you win.

Cheers to greatness, #JOT.��

Company A, since they already have a structure and already a going concern.

Many start ups in power sector failed, based on inability to generate funds and sustainability on customer growth.
