Do You Feel Left Behind in Life?

 

Your mates are making it in life, they are ahead of you though you were all at the same level. You just can't phantom how that's possible. You work equally as hard as them and even harder than some yet you are still lagging behind them on success lane, or so it seems.

With the notion of you falling behind on your achievement even though you work as hard as those who are successful you don't do things as you used to. You step up your game plan. You use alternative measures. You change your lane. You do things different. But you are still behind. Then you get frustrated. You get disappointed. You are blue and depressed. All because you are not having the results. You are still behind.

Maybe you should give up. Maybe the accounting or the medicine shit just ain't your thing. Maybe you could change to banking and finance or engineering. That's the temptation. Because you are behind, You feel it's not your thing. You feel maybe if you change the ball from a basket ball to a football it would be easier and faster for you to get at the same level or even over take your friends. But is that the right decision? Are you not being distracted?

It's 6 o'clock in the morning in Bamenda. In Beijing, it is 1 o'clock in the afternoon and some where in Oklahoma it is midnight. And that's just the same thing in life. It's 6 am in your life, it is 12 noon in Nickson's and it is midnight in Gwen's.

Geography says the moment at which a particular country meets with the sun rays, that determines its time zone. The whole world would never experience 6 am at the same time. But each and every country would definitely experience 6 am when the rotation of the earth let's each country meet with the sun rays.

Same thing could be said about life. About success. And even about failure. We all have our moments. We all have our time zones. Some people could be found in the same time zone and others spread across 5 different time zones. It doesn't matter who makes it first, what matters is everyone should make it. Everyone shall experience dawn in accomplishment.

But you shouldn't go to sleep expecting the dawn of success to come automatically. You got to work the work. Not in anxiety. Not in a hurry. But in perseverance. But in patience.

What keeps the earth rotating around the sun determining the multiple time zones of the world is gravity. Yes gravity. And what keeps you rotating around the sun of success to determine your time zone? Your dedication to your course. You perseverance in doing the work. Your patience while working. Together, they make your world spin. They are your gravity.

Focus on your lane. Stay in your zone and do what you have to do to keep your world spinning. See you at the top.
