Life does not work in the same pattern for everyone. We are all running the race to succeed but the truth is everyone will not arrive the same time. That's why I like saying that we are all running the race to meet our redeemer, but everyone are not taking the same direction , which is why some will arrive faster than others, it doesn't mean that the rest will not arrive so far as you don't stop the race half way.
That's life, so far as you don't give up one day you will achieve what you so desire.
But always have it in mind that , at some point , you will always feel left behind and discouraged, because the journey is not always a rosey one. At some point you will look at those you started before, going far , at some points you see those that are your junior progressing and making it fast . You might be force to ask yourself if you are really going forward or backward. You might feel like stopping ,don't stop keep pushing , that's a phase of life that happens to everyone.
Which is why I love the slogan " It can only get better nothing less ".
I remember about 4 to 5 years ago, that the contract work that I was doing came to an end, and I was thinking of how I will manage to survive. The funny thing is that the job finished close to the time when my rent was due and during that time I was still planning to pay my fees and settle other necessary things. I started job hunting and the jobs I had offers the location was very far away from where I was staying and the take home pay didn't measure up. I was so disturbed, mental health was at stake 🤣. It was bad to the extent that I could not read a sentence and assimilate immediately, because my mind and attention could not focused on anything. It felt as if the world was come to an end, I felt left behind.
One hot afternoon after an interview session, I went back home , lay down on my carpet, I said to myself " Nsi you have tried your best , relax what will be will be " , I didn't just bother myself again. I relax I didn't want to attend any interview again if it was not virtual. After few days , I got a mail about one Federal government stuff that I applied for some years back, I was asked to go to the bank to process some stuff for the payment. I thought it was a joke , I visited the bank the following day, everything worked out, I paid my rent and sort out few other issues. My mind was a bit calm. After few weeks I got another message to start another contract job that I applied for about 2 years back, the contract job was to last for two years. I smiled and started with that at least it was something. How much was the pay , 30k 🤣🤣 funny right ? But I started and I managed it till God blessed me with something else.
Although I have not achieve what I am supposed to yet, but I still thank God for the progress so far and I am very sure that it can only get better if I don't give up.
I don't know who need to hear this "life is not always that rosey , especially for those of use without God fathers and connection. " but let's just keep pushing for it can only get better.
