Have you wondered why we miss golden opportunities? It is because we spend most of our time running on the wrong path, trying to catch up with thin air.
We lie in our bed of lies we've laid for a long period of time. We assume we've reached the zenith of our lives so we fold our arms and doze in idleness.
From the valley of our nothingness, we crawl slowly to the hill of depression. Why? We do not understand that sometimes when we become full of ourselves, in reality, we're empty inside.
Perhaps we feel we have laboured enough and are due for rewards. We set a time and once nothing is forthcoming, we conclude that life is unfair and give up.
We keep asking ourselves "when will I get accolades?" In an attempt to answer that question, comparison begins. From comparison, we take it a step higher by engaging in unhealthy competitions.
The fact that we are yet to receive rewards does not mean that we have been busy doing nothing. Sometimes, we need persistence, perseverance and patience.
Instead of dwelling on the "when will I get accolades?" question, we should bother our minds with "when will I get better?" Do not let us relent by concluding that we have done enough.
As we channel our efforts into becoming better, the accolades would come along even without anticipating.
