YOU'RE NOT ALONE

Sometimes things happen in your life that leave you feeling overwhelmed, under pressure and depressed.

You look ahead of you and you see people whose success intimidate you and make you wonder if you can ever get to such a level in your lifetime...

...thereby making huge withdrawals on your self esteem.

You look around you and all your peers seem to experience the best that life has to offer, attaining success in their endeavours that make you feel stagnated and incompetent.

You look behind you and see people living life at the level you used to live or at the level you hope not to be and you get scared of the possibility that you might fall back to that level.

We all know that 'life is not a bed of roses' However, it is easier to say than to accept.

Sometimes you feel like the whole world is against you and heaping all of its problems on you while the rest of the world is living a life of bliss. Nothing more can b farther from d truth

We are all facing our challenges.

That business executive raking in mega money that you look up to is probably feeling used by everyone, battling depression and wondering if people love him and are willing to use money or love money and are willing to use him.g

That motivational speaker encouraging you to fight harder and live your dreams is facing enormous challenges building the life of his dreams and sometimes weeps in his closet.

Those family life experts you see on TV whom you admire and dream of modelling your family after theirs... they probably didn't greet each other this morning; their relationship is in chaos.

But then you look up to them and you wish you were like them.

Don't allow social media mislead you, don't allow the picture people paint of themselves and their careers to mislead you...

We are all facing our Goliaths!
Beneath those bright smiles are moments of great tears.

I am in no way implying that you do not admire what ought to be admired or avoid what ought to be avoided, but then...
Don't always look forward to those ahead of you, you might feel intimidated,
Don't always look around to those beside you, you might get distracted,

Don't always look back to those behind you, you might get complacent...

Look within to what is inside of you and look up to God.

Other people can be your inspiration but no man should be your aspiration.
No matter what it is you're going through in life...
You are NOT alone.
