No light at the end of the tunnel



I feel trapped. I feel like I am trapped in a body and a life that is not mine and for some reason I am not capable to escape. I have been feeling this way for years but once I had some type of stability in my life that still voice that reminded to escaped got distracted.
Now that I am faced with possibility of losing my job and I am financially challenged that voice has been screaming loudly: wake up! I am awake, I have been awake but why am I still asleep when my eyes are wide open?
At 10years old, I knew what I wanted in life and I didn’t want anything extravagant. Finish my studies, get a good job, buy my own place and get married in my late 30s, by 40 have 2.5 children and live happy ever after. 30 years after and I am not even close to any of those goals.  How come so much of my life could pass me by while I am fully awake?
My vision was not that self-centred, although I did not how, I also wanted to do something to help people. At many points I thought of opening a charity: to send poor children to school, HIV awareness in my community and the latest opening a social enterprise to alleviate poverty and improv the condition of women.
Now I need to make those dreams, goals but how when I am not even sure if I will have a roof on my head in a few weeks. So, all my plans, I had to be put to a back burner while I am job searching and applying. Looking for a job is a job in itself.
 I am shocked that I even have time to write this. What if God never allowed me to have my picture-perfect life because He had other plans for my life?  
I am destined for greatness and greatness in God’s spectrum is fulfilling the purpose He placed o hearth for.  But at 40 though? Thank God he is restore the wasted and lost time
Is that a glimpse at the end of the tunnel?

      I believe in these difficult times more than half of the world population is going through these same thoughts you had about a year ago. No matter their ages but hey, we are still here and crossing to the other side with our different scenarios. God always make a way where there is no way.

Re-focus! Life is not a competition, but it is a race.

One of the causes of dissatisfaction, and emphasis on one because they are multiple and interconnected causes. As I was saying, one of the reasons why we feel that poignant sentiment, is when we compare ourselves with the people who were on the same road as us but somehow have overtaken us. We are individual, on a mission and our mission is to fulfil our calling whatever that may while on planet Hearth. Because we are individual, our path is unique to us. We may encounter people with the same passion as us but their path to their destiny will be different than ours. Life is not a competition, but it is a race, a race to finish well, a race to fulfil our destiny because true happiness doesn’t not come from living the life that my school mates or uni. friends or my neighbour or the next celebrity is living but it comes from living my own life to the fullest. When you go to bed, asked yourself if you have done everything you need to do to move closer to your destiny? I am a trai...
