21. Focus on your journey
In a world that is always about posting pictures and updating statuses, it's so easy to lose yourself. People look happy and their lives are put together. Nothing wrong with that. But when we're constantly viewing other people's lives we are likely to think that we are missing out or we have nothing to be thankful about. IF NOT THAT-we find ourselves constantly wondering what's happening in so&so's life. I think this is what soapies do; they distract us from immediate realities. Sometimes it's real people-friends whom we are constantly chatting to that we don't even have time to think about where we are headed, whether we are becoming better people and growing in this life journey. I believe we should never be satisfied with being stagnant. I'm learning that the greatest gift we can give ourselves through the grace of God is self-development.
We should never be satisfied with a low standard in ourselves. Sometimes we are so focused on the next person-whether it's within the context of immediate relationships, society or politics that we forget that we also have flaws that must be worked on. Above all, the world doesn't so much need folks that are celebrating other great lives, but people who are living great lives themselves. Don't let the word great make you sink. A great life is not so much about being in the forefront, but adding value to those we meet.
