After finishing Secondary School..
All your classmates went different directions in the world.
Some are already done with studying in the university and are now:
Doctors,
Engineers,
Teachers,
Pilots,
Lawyers,
Administrators, and so on
Some already married,
Some already given birth,
Some still searching and waiting on the Lord.
Some are dead, don't forget that
Some are on sick bed
Some have gone for their higher degrees: Masters, PHD, etc.
Some haven't even gained admission into the tertiary institution and may NEVER be able to.
Some are company owners
Some are now major share holders in global organizations and some are Doctors
But have you thought of how you will feel:
When you see your classmates, and it seems like he/she has accomplished their dreams, and you're not yet close to yours?
Then so many thoughts starts running through your mind, right?
First, you will start thinking God has not been fair to you.
What about the ones you meet on the street wearing dirty cloths or putting on rags and still struggling for survival ?
Do you usually get the same thoughts running through your mind?
I guess, NO
Also know that some died on their way to success
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 need for regrets,
We are all different and our paths to greatness are also not same distance.
Some might have arrived long before you and some after you, but whatever level you find yourself in life,
Please keep trying to break limitations and keep pressing.
It's an indication that yours too shall surely come when you celebrate the success of others.
Be happy with your friends when they buy a car,
Because one day you'll buy yours,
theirs might not be the latest again.
There's no permanent champion, but are current champion.
Life is not all about competition, do not be in a race with anyone; 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;
Don't forget to write it down because one day the world would be ready to read it, they all will be part of your success story.
There's no height you cannot attain, believe you can do it, believe in yourself, define your goals, recognize distractions and don't stop striving.
Spend time teaching yourself, spend more time reading, 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 DO NOT forget to give a helping hand to those who are down. 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
Thanks for reading
