Everytime I looked at my experience, my pains, struggles, challenges and frustration I will wished I didn't passed through them or didn't experienced them at all. Looking at your friends , uncles, aunties, relative and other people who have made it in life, yet you are struggling with what to eat will make you think and imagine you be there in a position where these people are there already. It looks like they live a good and free life, without pains and pressure but if you can have the opportunity to ask them , you will be surprised and amazed by some of them will tell you many years ago they couldn't afford a bread to eat in a day.
Most of the times am walking or trekking to my place of work and saw a beautiful car or bike pass me, I will admired the car and wished am the person driving such a car or ridding such a bike but here am I trekking to work. But then I came to understand that this life is a process and is in stages, you don't jump a stage to another stage. You must follow the stages one at a time and follow the process gradually to reach a final destination. Just two months I remembered my cousin sister came to me and said "Uncle Emma, she can't wait to graduate from Secondary School and enter higher institution and graduate the way I graduated from college of health". I looked at her and smiled and told her "my love, you will definitely go to higher institution and graduate there but you must first pass through secondary school and graduate from there first.
Life has stages and processing and you must follow it duely and gradually to achieve your goals. I know it doesn't matter how tough and difficult it seems now, surely a time is coming when everything will be alright and everything will be at ease with me. A day is coming that I will be able to eat whatever I wants to eat and go to any place I could afford to travel to. But now is not yet the time that's why am facing a lot of tough time and passing through challenges. For there is time for everything in this life.
This morning my elder brother's son of 8 years old came to me and told me he is tired of going to school. He wants to stay at home and just been eating food everyday. When I heard him said that, I laughed out loud and told him that's no problem at all, when his father's comes back he will grant him his request. He is still a child and doesn't know anything about life yet.
But as he grows up he will definitely understand what life is and all about. Life is a journey and has stages one cannot jump any stage but pass through them before reaching the final stage or destination. Those people who tried some certain stage got themselves in a critical and bad situations that took their lives and some have lost things because they tried to jump stages out of desperation and frustration. Take life easy and stay focused and you will get to the top one day.
