Okay, so this is not my usual poetry, but just something I feel I should share with those of you who take the time to stop by. First of all, thanks for the support. So, I was just thinking of my life a while ago. I recall that when I was a child, I didn't care much about life; things like what to wear, what to eat, money for clothes, money for food, the tuition, future career, a life partner and the likes, didn't really mean much to me. Just buy me ice creams and candies, and give me some pocket change, and I'll be fine, even if I didn't know what to do with the change I was given. But when I became a teenager, a lot changed. All of sudden, I started becoming a little conscious about how I looked, then I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, but still I didn't worry about a lot. But now at 21, I am becoming more worried about a lot of things: bills to pay, future goals, my career as a writer, what life holds out there for me, what I have accomplished so far, what I'm doing with my life, whether my dreams will all be actualized and stuff like that. And truly, we all sometimes worry about these things and in the midst of it all, there are times when we just feel like we are being left behind. There are times when we feel like we may not accomplish all we set out to, and sometimes we begin to compare ourselves to others, thinking we are not as accomplished as the guy next door.
In case you feel that way, I'm not going to bore you with a long piece. All I want to say to you is STOP WORRYING, COMPLAINING AND COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS! The reason is because when you do so, depression, discouragement, sadness, anxiety and sometimes a nervous breakdown may set in. May be your life hasn't been what you thought it would have been 10 or 20 years ago, when you were in high school or college. But if you look around you, you will always find some things to be grateful for. So be grateful for the things you have and strive with diligence for the things you don't have. Life only gives to those who are ready and willing to collect from it. Prepare, train and develop yourself. Invest and look to each day with optimism, for success happens when opportunity meets preparation. You are not on anybody's time, we all arrived the world at different times and locations. So if today is that guy's turn, don't let it bother you, yours is down the way if you do the right thing with patience. I hope this helps someone today...
