Hello beautiful people. A friend of mine had his life practically handed to him from birth, his family was always there to do what for him what he was supposed to do for himself.
While in primary school, all his assignments were done for him, he scaled through and they were there through his secondary education as well, when he got into the university, they rallied around, searched for a house for him, furnished it, and also wrote his project for him.
After graduation, they ran around again to secure him a job, they built a house for him, bought him a car and soon they also searched for a wife for him to get married to. They named all his children and many major decisions of his life are taken up by the family.
Let's be clear that there is nothing wrong in having a family that goes over and beyond for you, stands by you in times of difficulty, and comes through with support and motivation.
Many people will envy the guy, especially looking at his reasonably successful life from the outside, they will wish to have it as easy as him, and they will want to put pressure on their family and friends to be like him, but there is a downside to having people do everything for you, facing no obstacles yourself and having little or no experience with the challenges of the real world.
There are some exams that a man is going to fail, his family will not be there to help at that time, they can't always be there no matter how loving or supportive they are. There are many paths in life he will have to go through just by himself and that's where he will likely fail the exams of life because he has not been prepared for it in any way.
Life will humble him eventually.
This doesn't mean he is not an intelligent fellow, he went to school and he could be very smart. But life has a way of leading someone towards unique issues, when he comes across these exams of life, he will not just have the answers because he never attended the class of the experience and he didn't learn any lessons from them.
Let's carefully understand that as you go through life, navigating the day-to-day experiences, don't neglect attending the classes life has to offer. If you are a diligent student, you will take note of all that is happening to you, you will pick the lessons there and use them because life is going to test you later on irrespective of your level of preparation or otherwise, if you learn them, the exams of life will be a walk in the park.
Your experiences, no matter how hard or harsh you have are not irrelevant in any way. They will come in handy and prove useful very soon at one point or another. Aside from just learning the lessons, you must be intentional with whatever you do even now.
Don't just go about life accumulating experiences, sometimes you should use the ones you have so that you are successful most of the time. In addition, do not envy anybody, learn these lessons for yourself, our paths are different and so are our experiences and success stories.
I hope this will help you see the light.
