If you would have told me…

If you had told me 12 years ago that I would be doing web development for a living, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 11 years ago that I would be doing frontend development for a living, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be working mainly with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a living, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 9 years ago that I would be owning a company, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 8 years ago that I would be writing articles for prominent publications, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 7 years ago that I would be working internationally on high-profile projects, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 6 years ago that I would be working from my office downtown, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 5 years ago that I would live in my dream house, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 4 years ago that I would not use CSS or JavaScript frameworks in my everyday tasks, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 3 years ago that I would write my 102nd article, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 2 years ago that I would be working from my home office again, I would laugh at you.

If you had told me 1 year ago that I would be without a job for 5 months, I wouldn’t laugh at you, but I wouldn’t believe you either.

Believe in yourself, have dreams and goals, and be yourself. And be sure to have some savings.
