NO COMPETITION IN DESTINY
You were born in a first class hospital, I was delivered at home, we both survived.
You went to a private primary school and I went to Saint Luke's junior primary School, we both ended in the high school.
You went to Kings College Lagos, I could only afford ajayi crowther secondary school, but we were both tested with the same WAEC and NECO exams. And we both passed.
You proceeded to the prestigious Babcock University, I could only work and pay for my studies at National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). We both earned the same NUC recognized degrees.
You woke up from the bed and I woke from the floor, we both had a peaceful night rest.
Your outfits are all expensive, mine are all simple and cheap, we both still cover our nakedness.
You ate fried rice and roasted chicken, I ate local made food but we both still ate to our satisfaction.
You ride on Lexus jeep, Range Rover, G Wagon, Hummer Jeep and I use public transport but we still got to our various destination.
You may be reading this post from your
Samsung Galaxy 8edge or 9edge, IPhone12pro+ or iphone 15 pro and I typed it with my Tecno small android phone with broken screen, we still see the message.
Lifestyle is not a competition and there are different ways to get a lot of things done, different lanes all leading to the same destination. Just because your neighbour is doing things faster does not mean you are failing.
Happiness doesn't come from having everything, but making the best out of what you have, it's all about how you see yourself.
Happiness is not having what you like. Happiness is liking what you have and being contented.
