There's beauty around you.

Yesterday evening I went out for a stroll with some friends and while walking and talking I began to notice some hidden beauty in that area I hadn't before. I Ias awed and wowed by what I saw, I've been working in that community for about two years now and never really took note of the hidden beauty there, it's always been work most of the time. This is how it is with our daily lives, sometimes we get carried away by the hustles and bustles of life, the unpaid bills, the sickness, the delayed salaries, the selfish leadership, the various challenges of life.  These qthings have the capacity to blindfold us to the beauty around us. . Sometimes just forget the pain and look at the sunset, walk in the green fields and just allow God's creation release some healing almost into your troubled soul. Below is a picture of the sunset I captured on camera.

What if they overtake you?

Most times in life we are faced with  the pressure to compare the goings on in our lives with those of our peers especially. Succumbing to this pressure is one of the greatest source of stress and unhappiness in life. Life is a personal race and will always be that way, even your unique makeup and fingerprint attests to that. So if they buy the car before you then what? If they get married , get the job, contract, children, admission, houses or whatever it is before you then what? Does it stop your heart from beating or your lungs from taking in air? Allow people to move at their speed, if they are ready to overtake you let them and move at your own pace. Save yourself the stress of competition, you'll get there if you don't give up but just take your time.
