What A Life!

I got this piece from my CEO friend *“kelacious kela” a lady that discharges her duties with an uncommon finesse. It was timely and on point. I was lifted reading it and decided to share it too. Enjoy it!

 

Over time I have discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different, our lanes are different & our durations are different. The only thing we have in common is the same Umpire. For instance, one person graduates at age 20 and struggles for another 5years to get a job, another might graduate at age 25 and gets a job immediately.

One can marry a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mum almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD at 38 and dies at 56; another becomes MD at 55 and lives to 90. What a life!

Life is full of twists, turns, ups and downs and many more surprises and disappointments. Life offers each one of us different opportunities, and once an opportunity is lost is gone forever I was told. It is up to each one of us to patiently prepare, wait, recognize and utilize every opportunity.

We learn on the way. No one knows it all or has it better. There is a reason why we all don’t fall at the same time. It’s so that when one is down, weak and discouraged, the other who is strong, can encourage and uplift the other person. God never promised that the road would be easy but He promised never to leave nor forsake us.

Although life is a competition, let us learn to go easy on ourselves and trust that God is working it all for good (even if it doesn’t make sense now). I know that there is a time for everything but most importantly that “it will come to pass”. Whatever trials, challenges or down time, this too shall pass and even in due course, you will be up and strong again to lift up those who maybe down around you.

Remember, you are never a photocopy; you are the designer’s design!
