Let’s talk about comparison for a minute.
The world is set up in such a way that we have no choice but to compare ourselves to one another.
You graduate from secondary school at 16, sixth form at 18, university at 21, or if you’re doing a longer degree, at 23/24. A great job at 25, self-employed at 27. Married with 8 kids at 35. Prime Minister at 37. Why?????? Why??????? Why?????????? (In my dad’s passionate voice lol)
Okay, Prime Minister at 37 is a bit of a stretch but still, the competition is crazy!!
I’m 24, and I’m still at university, and yes, I’m being honest, sometimes I worry, but then I wake up and I’m like who sets the rules for God's sake!
Maybe sometimes comparison pushes us to do more for ourselves but still, It steals our joy. It convinces us that Joy is a future thing rather than having it now.
For me, I am where I am, where I’m supposed to be. God has placed me where I am because He wanted to, for a reason or not, and I’m happy with that!
So today, I live life to the fullest regardless of where I am. I must enjoy life!!!!!!
Say after me, THIS LIFE, I MUST ENJOYYYYY!
It's not easy though...
