This article is meant to enlighten you that everyone has its own appointed time and reasons to give thanks.
After leaving Secondary School, that is when we began to know what life really mean.
All classmates have gone in different directions in the world.
Some are unable to gain admission into tertiary institutions and may never be able to.
Some have graduated from different universities and are now: Programmers, Engineers, Doctors, Lecturers, Pilots, Lawyers, Administrators, CEOs of their Companies, Directors and major shareholders in global companies etc.
Some are still running their higher degrees: Masters, PHD, etc.
Some are married and have given birth while
Some are still searching and waiting on the Lord.
Some are on the sick bed, and don't forget that some are dead.
But how do you feel when you meet your classmates, and it seems like he/she has accomplished their dreams and you're not yet close to yours?
So many thoughts run through your mind, right?
First, you think God has not been fair to you.
How about the ones you met on the street wearing dirty cloths and still struggling for survival ?
Do you get the same thoughts running through your mind? I guess, NO.
Permit me to remind you that some are already dead.
Somehow it feels natural to have that feeling of jealous for those mates who seem better off, but it is really unnecessary.
There is no room for regrets, we are all different and our paths to greatness are also not the same in distance.
Some might have arrived earlier before you and some after you, but whatever level you find yourself in life, please keep trying to break limitations and move further.
Celebrate the success of others, its an indication that yours too shall surely come.
If your friend buys a car now, be happy with him/ her.
Remember when you'll buy yours, theirs might not be the latest again.
After all,the first house in a town is not necessarily the most beautiful house in the town!
There's no permanent champion, but current champion.
Life is not about competition, do not be in a race with anyone; remember, we may seem to be reading the same book but different chapters at different times.
Don't let the passion in you kill the desire in you, keep it burning.
What you're passing through today; write it down because one day the world would be ready to read it, they'll become part of your success story.
There's no height you cannot attain, believe in yourself, define your goals, recognize distractions and don't stop striving.
Spend time teaching yourself, because those things that mainly take people to the top are the things they devoted their time to develop.
Don't be intimidated by your friend's success, the sky is wide enough for birds to fly without touching one another.
Value every little thing that God brings into your life, love God and obey Him.
For with God, all things are possible.
Now to those who are on top never forget to give a helping hand to those who need it, because life is full of uncertainties; the one you pull up today, may be the one to hold your hands and prevent you from falling tomorrow.
Don't forget that table may turn anytime.
