Sometimes, when we see others ahead of us, we put it the wrong way that, we are left behind and forget even where we are, forgetting the need to appreciate what we are and what we have, though there are sometimes in our life when God can really break our hearts and keep us down when we want to get up, we need to understand our worth through the life we have.
We may really try everything possible to improve ourselves and to get things in the right place but getting to know that nothing really pleases in this world reduces us even to a much farer distance. Maybe in your life as a young man or girl, you are expecting God to do you some favor and the waiting has taken years and you are seeing your friends flying, or maybe you are a woman or man with dreams of making the best out of life but things aren’t going to plan.
When you see this, you will get down on your knees to pray and you will find God busy attending to people like you who also want to see some changes in their lives. And a few moments later, you begin to feel the pinch of waiting for what will never work. You will blame God for being unfair and for having created you and failed to give you all that you need to live a better life. And a few days after these words, God spontaneously poured blessings into your life in a way that you can’t even understand and tears involuntarily begin to find their way through your cheeks and looking back, you see all those people who were ahead of you.
And somehow, with a smile written all over your face, you will agree that there is absolutely no competition in this world. We just have to fall in love with the process and enjoy every drama that comes with life no matter how hard it is, we need to appreciate all the pitfalls that push us back whenever we try to move ahead because they are the rocks on which our future is built and trust me, I have said this several times because I value repetition that if you are not facing any challenge in your life, you are not truly living and your humanity must be questioned.
You don’t have to be in this world and you expect an easy life, nothing like that will ever happen. We need those setbacks. We need that daily pain and we need those moments where we feel like we are left behind because these are the points in life where we find every reason to believe that we are truly living. You just have to forget who is ahead of you or who is behind you and focus on your personal life until your sun shines. The people all over the world including those who are ahead of you are actually behind you in one way or the other. Maybe there is something that you have that they do not.
And sometimes they may die before you and you die before somebody and life goes on. Just know that nothing really makes sense in this world. This life is a journey from birth to death meaning that we are waiting for nothing but to be lowered in the soil and it would be given to God to decide where our destiny lies. So, the little time we have must be properly used for minding our own businesses. Don’t hate somebody because you are good with him or her. And when it is good with good, don’t wish others to remain poor for the rest of their lives. Let us put humanity before everything because the time is short and we won’t be here forever. If there is one thing you can do for this country or other people, do it now because this is the right time, tomorrow may be too late. You have to love others and wish them well in life because in the end, that is what truly matters, not the kind of money or cars you have.
