MY FRIEND JUST BOUGHT A CAR.
Over the last decade, I have learnt many things. Some through people’s experiences. Others through my personal experience and a study of life itself.
Amongst all, I'll be sharing one with you. And I’m doing this at a time like this because I perceive that many young people need to understand the importance of living life at God’s pace.
Nothing is more beautiful than being where God wants you to be at a particular time. Moving ahead of God will only expose you into a Life of Struggle.
You see… LIFE is an individual race. You could be born a twin yet there is no guarantee you will have the same life as your sibling.
Also, being classmates and age mates do not equal having the same life.
“My friend has graduated. My friend has built a house. My friend just bought a car. My friend just got married”. MY FRIEND THIS, MY FRIEND THAT…
Is the reason many have stopped moving forward. They compare people’s lives with theirs forgetting that our races are individual and different.
Therefore… Your friend's race and progress in life shouldn't affect your FOCUS on your life.
Your life is your own canoe, paddle it well. Focus so you don't sink. You don't even know the destination of your neighbor's canoe. So why compare and worry about the progress?
Look… One thing is certain.
As long as you move and focus on your canoe, you will definitely arrive at your destination.
However, the moment you change focus from your canoe to your neighbor’s, be ready to sink!
Lesson: Avoid Comparison and FOCUS on your life.
P.S: This was culled from my new book titled" PLEASE, TRY AGAIN! To be released on 3rd July, 2022.
