We all want that perfect life which is stress -free, has financial freedom, an awesome spouse and family, a good social life, among others. We always want a life that doesn’t send us to bed in a foul mood. Unfortunately, our perfect lives do not go as planned.

Truth be told, most of us are far away from the perfect life. Others are halfway there and others are almost there. We are not equal, just as the fingers are not equal. We all have a goal in mind but not all of us would get to the goal at the same time.

Let’s bring this to our lives as they are now. Many of us have written down our goals for this year. Have it at the back of your mind that you will surely get there, no matter the pace you are going. Do not compare yourself to others and belittle yourself. That is the worst thing you can do to your self-esteem. Place value of yourself. Be determined, focused and hardworking. Seek help when necessary but don’t depend on others entirely. Avoid negative energy from any source and positive words only to push you through.
