Looking back at my first official role after NYSC, I can see how much that experience stretched me.

I almost quit before I'd even given myself a chance to settle in.

The responsibilities felt overwhelming, and I questioned whether I was really qualified to be there.

But I went back the next day. And the next.

I didn't suddenly become confident overnight. I had to learn, adjust and grow into the role.

I'm glad I gave myself that chance.

Looking back, I wonder how many opportunities we might walk away from because the beginning makes us question ourselves.

I'm not saying every difficult situation is one you must stay in. But sometimes, the discomfort of being new is not a sign that you're in the wrong place.

Sometimes, you're still learning how to stand in it.

Have you ever wanted to quit something before you'd even given yourself a proper chance?
