Greetings community and friends here 🥰

Its natural as humans to always have thoughts of how well we are doing in life and how far have we also gone with the goals we set out to achieve . This is truly natural, especially when we find ourselves in certain circumstances, comparing ourselves to others or when it seemed that our efforts are not yielding enough results.

I have severally felt this feelings of being left behind, especially after my higher institution days when many of my friends and course mates where getting jobs and being employed. And all the interviews I attended then was not forthcoming coming with positive replies. Those days where days that really stressed my emotions, made me felt as if the is something I did that is holding me back.

Thanks to my mum who will always call 📞 to encourage me. Telling me that its not yet time for my own job employment opportunity, because that job that was meant for me will surely come. I will say amen 🙏 to her prayers, but then, after the call , the feelings definitely will continue. But it surely came to pass because when the job employment came , it was something I never expected. One that was really meant for my peace of mind and well paid.

You see, this is the problem we all have as humans, who will always want things to go our way, but once they never aligned and others are moving past us, our feelings goes straight to why are we not like others? Why are my friends moving past me. Why is my neighbor better than me? Why have I not been promoted?

One thing we forgot as God created humans is that everyone of us is destined in our own way. Everyone of us as individuals has different journey parts that we must pass through. The journey that has been set out for us before we were even born. So looking at others and comparing ourselves to them is the very big mistakes we make , but we can not avoid not to feel left behind because it’s natural. We can only be motivated to take things the way we see them if only we try to encourage ourselves, knowing that our own time will surely come.

Have you seen ladies who rushed into marriage because they felt left behind? Or men who made mistake by choosing and marrying someone that they have no compatibility with because they felt all their friends and age grade are getting married. What these ladies and men fail to do or know is how long those ones who got married studied and know their spouses character wise, personality , genotype and temperaments.

Its very okay to feel being left behind and I really suffered so much of this emotion in my younger days. But as I began to get matured in life, I started seeing life in different directions where some people will make it early in life while others make theirs at a latter years. And it does not real matter when ones time comes as long as no one is a failure. This means that once every struggle we put in life materializes something that proves our efforts are not in vain.

However, I believe that the insatiable nature of man sometimes gets us into the feelings of being left behind, especially for those of us who has achieved some certain basic necessities in life - like having shelter , good job, enough clothings and can afford regular food. But still, seeing others who has more triggers their emotions because they are not satisfied with what they have. This is where it becomes very obvious that man can never be satiable with life and acquisition.

Thanks for visiting and reading friends 🥰💕.
