A few minutes ago, my sister showed me a picture of my mum’s friend. The woman and her husband traveled from Nigeria to the United Kingdom to celebrate their daughter’s convocation. God knows I feel happy because I love to congratulate people on things like this so mine could come.
Then, I went alone to the living room, sat alone and began to feel sad. I felt sad because I wish to travel out of my country someday but it hasn’t happened yet. It made me feel very sad and also think I’m not doing enough for myself or I’m not fortunate enough. It’s funny how somw people get the things we badly want, easily.
Do you sometimes feel this way?
Before throwing this question to you all, I want to confess that I feel this way a lot but not to the point of wishing the fortunate person bad. I believe it isn’t just my time so things will fall in place when it is my time but I feel sad a lot. There are so many people who haven’t even struggled half of what I have done but they are living a better life.
When I begin to feel this way, the best thing I do is calm myself down and tell myself that everything will be alright someday. I just have that faith in me and I’m really sticking to it. There are so many things I’ve been waiting for, working hard and praying about for so many years. I don’t have them now but I’m still grateful to God for the things I have. No matter how senseless one can be, there are times when you still feel this way.
How do you solve this problem?
If you don’t believe that it is a problem, I really want you to start doing so. It becomes more problem the moment you begin to think about suicide or harming the fortunate one instead of you to work harder.
The best way to solve this problem is by being happy with yourself and grateful for what you have.
If you learn the act of contentment, you’d go far in life so you need to put that to use. Also, you need to always place yourself on check. If you’re having a bad time, sit and think well about it so you don’t make decisions that could harm you later…
