YOUR LIFE JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT

Amaka has started walking, why is Sandra still crawling?

Did you not say she is a devoted Christian? Why is she having disappointments?

Is that not your mate doing this or that?

Why are you the only one going places now?

.............................................................................

The headline is the answer to questions like the above.

In life, our journey is different. We could be born the same day, time and share many similarities but our journey is different. While some could share the same journey but different paths. That is when you hear different success stories or healing techniques from people who have same journey or experienced same health challenge.

When you understand this, you’d stop comparing yourself and have peace.?

This is not to say that you should feel relaxed. I still maintain that you should give everything in your life the best possible efforts.?

And if you think you need mentors, prayers, counseling and more, please do get them for your journey.

I learnt in my journey that life can shock you ?? even after ensuring no loose ends.

Oh yes, Life can shock you! Good surprises and unprecedented bad ones.

Even when armed with shock absorbers ?? Life can shock you like fuel price did to some of us 2 weeks ago ??????

So when this happen, please enjoy the phase.

Learn the lessons in this moment.

And understand that everyone’s life journey is so unique just like our personality.

Do not compare too much ?? Comparison is a stealer of joy.

Do not complain too much, those who complain too much end up being mediocres.

The journey may be rough, bitter and hard but be assured that if you do have a clear understanding of your life journey, you will arrive at your destination.?

Sometimes not unscathed but with scars to remind you of the lessons, and sometimes with slight injuries.?

Oh oh, I remember one of such I had during my PG years. I still get chills whenever I recall the event. Forex trading almost ruined me. I had used my accommodation budget for it. I was not trading myself though. Got dividends of 2 months and the rest is "o ti lo" ?????? I was faraway from home, none of my generation ever lived nor travelled down North. "Oju ri"???????? That is the Yoruba word that best summarizes my gory experience thereafter.

Soon, at your destination you’d forget all about the scars, the insults, the injuries and enjoy the bliss at your destination.?

?Always recall that “DIFFICULT ROADS OFTEN LEAD TO BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS”

Just last week Thursday, I recounted my experience to a friend and I mentioned how I had met someone who brought my biggest deal in branding so far during my trials.

I have come to appreciate my journey in life, that is the reason behind my doing this or that, they have become a moulding tool to bringing forth my unique features.

Please never forget that We are all unique, so also are our features.

No matter what life throws at you, find a way to transform it to something pleasant for your race.?

Ade, Rukayat, Chisom, Your journey starts the day you were born.

Life is a journey, stay patient and trust your journey.

The reward for your journey will come at your destination.

How do I enjoy mine??

First, by being grateful for my baby steps, by focusing on getting better and not being afraid to start all over again if need be. I readjust as often as I can.?Above all, I am Patient and I trust my Journey.?

You could use my methods too to enjoy the ride.

I sincerely wish you a smooth journey in life, but if you don't get that, please enjoy your journey nevertheless!?
